Waterside Retreat: Lakeside Villa With Tiered Pools

From: Zbranek & Holt Custom Homes

With wide balconies, an expansive backyard and a hidden boathouse, this Tuscan-style villa is proof that everything really is bigger in Texas. Best of all, the huge waterfront home boasts a unique series of tiered swimming pools, with a spa that feeds into one pool that feeds into another below. The infinity-edge helps blur the lines between the owners' backyard and the bay in the distance.

Waterfront Mediterranean Villa

A waterfront location makes this Texas villa feel even more luxurious. There's a hidden boathouse under the patio and all three of the home's levels look out over the lake.

Mediterranean Patio With Split-Level Pool

Like the house, the pool is also split into levels. The top one includes a hot tub. At the corners between levels sit two fire bowls.

Mediterranean Villa Exterior and Patio

Three levels of terraces and balconies look down onto this home's swimming pool. The outdoor area is skillfully broken up into different sections for dining, playing and lounging.

Waterfront Patio and Pool at Sunset

There is a 40-foot drop from this home's main floor to the water below, so architects navigated the drop gracefully via several levels. Wide steps lead down from the back porch to this patio and pool. A lower patio offers more sitting areas.
