Birds serenade you from thousands of trees as you gaze across the canyon. You’re waiting for the first yellow of the morning sun to rise above the opposite ridge. A white mist rests below as steam rises from your coffee. Live oaks wrap you in a year-round green blanket of privacy. The door opens and behind your left ear you hear, “good morning!” It’s time to step inside your adult-sized treehouse. The temperature is perfect. The humidity is precisely controlled by the dual Lennox units tucked out of sight. After breakfast, you walk around the pond and past the park to one of the top elementary schools in the state. There is no need to stray far from your hilltop oasis. The Hill Country Galleria and HEB are on the other side of the Lake Pointe wall. But when needed, you can arrive downtown in 30 minutes at any time of the day. Winding through the hills of Bee Cave Rd. will take you there. The school bell rings. But you skip the pond and the park. Today, you’re taking 37 steps from your front door and venturing down the path to the nature preserve. Hundreds of acres with miles of trails. Ten minutes later, you and yours are sitting on a bench and gazing over miles of Texas Hill Country. It’s just another day in your Carlsbad cul-de-sac treehouse. More adventures await tomorrow.
