Must-See Texas Property — A Modern Lake House Built for Entertaining in Star Harbor

The elements for a consummate party lake house are fairly simple: it must include several bedrooms, a massive kitchen island, some sort of festive water feature, and — of course — easy access to the lake in question. 9 Westview Drive in sought-after Star Harbor, a tucked-away peninsula along Cedar Creek Lake, features all of those crucial components, with a modern design that truly elevates the entertainer’s lake house.

For those lucky enough to make their way to the secluded showstopper, the destination is surprisingly un-lakehouse-like. On Westview Drive, you won’t find any stray tchotchkes or clichéd signage. Beyond the striking wooden façade (a rustic choice that contrasts coolly with sleek Low-E windows and a striking metal roof), rooms are airy and sophisticated. Concrete floors and bold accent lighting mix with gorgeous light hardwoods throughout, and sun-soaked spaces offer plenty of room to make memories (and decorate accordingly).

But you’re here for the entertaining elements, so rest assured, this house is down for a good gathering. The hero of any home, the kitchen, is putting in serious work in Star Harbor, Texas. Featuring a sprawling marble island with an endless array of modern leather bar stools, a massive range, and an aesthetically pleasing minimalist design (for pictures, naturally), the heart of the house offers a beautiful spot for guests to gravitate. Anyone who might be looking for a reprieve from the great outdoors can retreat to the well-equipped home gym or the cozy theater room are at your service. On the water feature front, a resort-style pool and hot tub are just steps from the home’s boat dock and party deck.
