After nearly six years of ownership, Robert Rodriguez has decided to part ways with his ranch-style home high above Lake Travis in the Texas capital of Austin . The veteran filmmaker—probably most known for his work on movies such as Sin City , Spy Kids , and From Dusk Till Dawn —is asking $8.9 million for the waterfront spread, which he acquired back in October 2018.
Originally designed by noted modernist architect O’Neil Ford, who is widely acclaimed for crafting the Trinity University campus and Little Chapel in-the-Woods , the property was built in 1962 and underwent an extensive remodel in the late 1990s at the hands of designer/builders Dick Clark and David Dalgleish. Described as a “seamless blend of historical charm and modern luxury” in marketing materials, the dwelling has been nicknamed The Bond House by its owner for its “sophisticated ambience and international allure of the 1960s Sean Connery James Bond films.” RELATED: Justin Timberlake Gets $8 Million for 126-Acre Property in Tennessee Featured are four bedrooms and five baths in nearly 5,200 square feet of living space that boasts hardwood floors, exposed brick walls, and soaring wood-beam ceilings throughout.
An eye-catching solarium is equipped with an indoor pool and spa, with outdoor amenities including a funicular that descends to a private two-level dock and 200 feet of waterfront footage, plus a waterfall-clad courtyard, a built-in barbecue, a lengthy walking path, and a three-stall carpo.
