Situated atop a sprawling site that gave rise to its alluring aesthetic, this glimmering Lakeway, Texas, estate exudes a timeless air.

When the Jenkins design team walked this homesite, it was the amazing oak trees that begged to play a central role in the design. Large windows and multiple glass doors establish a connection with the outdoors and the natural landscape. The second floor feels like it’s perched atop the trees with wonderful lake and hill country views.
Building Philosophy Translates to a Better-Built Home
As a second-generation home builder, Shan Jenkins approaches each project the same way. “It has to be built as close to perfect as possible. It’s got to be better than the competition and more beautiful than any previous home I’ve built, says Jenkins.”
Jenkins discusses new in-home technology.
In a recent article, Bethany Jenkins discusses a new technology for high-end homes, a golf simulator.

Jenkins quoted as expert in discussion regarding mold.
Shan Jenkins was contacted by Builder Magazine to be interviewed about construction methods and mold. Along with other industry experts, Jenkins conveyed his stance on tried-and-true construction methodologies such as 15-pound felt paper for mold prevention.“It allows the house to breathe and prevents moisture buildup,” says Jenkins. While newer products may inhibit mold growth, they could allow moisture into the building.
