Whole Foods Market in Bee Cave, TX opens on May 16th, 2012.
Whole Foods Market has been an Austin native since 1980. With over 310 stores across North America and the United Kingdom, Whole Foods has established itself as the worldwide leader in natural and organic food. For Lakeway custom home owners and the area surrounding Lake Travis, it is about to become a whole lot easier to shop for your natural and organic products.
On May 16th, Whole Foods Market will open a brand new location in Bee Cave, TX at the Hill Country Galleria. As announced by Bee Cave Store Team Leader, Wade Taylor, there will be several festivities going on during the first week of opening. The store will open at 8:00am but you are invited to come at 7:30am for coffee and a bread breaking ceremony. The store will feature a patio balcony with Hill Country views. Upstairs, there will be a bar called “The Buzz” in which specialty beer and wine will be served on tap. Opening day will be filled with live music and food.
Lakeway is home to the best golf in Austin

111 Escavera on Flintrock Falls Golf Course
The city of Lakeway has long been known to be home to some of the best golf in the Austin area. As you watch The Masters, you might experience a strange little tingle deep within you, an urge even. That feeling is what golfers call “The Itch.” It’s a phenomenon that causes you to suddenly have the need to hit the links. Just seeing the lush, green grounds of Augusta National, the best maintained and most exclusive golf club in, perhaps, the world, makes me want to go play some golf. Luckily there are plenty of golf courses in the Lakeway area to escape to. Some of the best custom homes in Austin are built on these golf courses so when I should be able to go on a field trip and can call it “market research,” right?
Speaking of research, here’s a list of the beautiful and challenging golf courses in and around Lakeway.
Lakeway Regional Medical Center
After breaking ground in July of 2009, Lakeway Regional Medical Center will be open for services on April 16th. The 250,000 square-foot facility is anticipated to service more than 100,000 people in an area that extends from FM 2222 and Steiner Ranch, through Lakeway, down to Dripping Springs, and out to Spicewood. That also covers a majority of the locations in which your Austin custom home builder has built homes. The medical center will have a heliport so, if necessary, services could extend to the north shores of Lake Travis, too.
LRMC will be host to 106 Licensed Beds in private rooms, 6 Operating Rooms, 2 Endoscopy Rooms, 2 Pain Management Rooms, 8 Urgent Care Rooms, 3 Trauma & 12 ED Treatment Rooms, 6 Labor Delivery Recovery Rooms, 2 Delivery Dooms/C-Section, 73 Med Surg Private Patient Rooms, 11 Bed Neonatal Critical Care Unit, 18 Bed Critical Care Unit, and 3 Cardiac Cath Suites. In addition, LRMC will serve as a Level II Trauma Center, one of only two in the Austin area.
LRMC is expected to employ about 250 when it opens with about 110 of them being doctors. At the end of its first six month, it could employ 500 people, and 1,000 by the end of its first year.
If you will be working at the medical center and are looking for luxury custom homes in the area, Sterling Custom Homes has your immediate solution. We currently have a home for sale and ready for move-in. It’s conveniently located minutes from LRMC in Flintrock Falls at 111 Escavera Cove.
QR Codes Inside!
It can be hard to interact with Austin TX custom home builders when you visit their build sites, or model homes when they are not staffed. At Sterling Custom Homes, we constantly strive to make your visits more enjoyable and informational at the same time. We want to be able to interact with you, even if we can’t be there physically to answer your questions. This is why you’ll now see QR codes on our build-site flyers, as well as scattered around the inside of our home at 111 Escavera Cove.
As you explore one of our Austin custom homes at 111 Escavera, you’ll notice QR codes in certain areas of the home. When you scan a QR code with your smartphone, a video with appear. The video will highlight and explain particular features of the home. It might explain a specific room, living space, or feature that is unique in Sterling’s building processes.
The Second Annual Community Showcase
A small group of home builders in Austin including Sterling Custom Homes will open their build sites to the public during the second annual Community Showcase at The Reserve at Lake Travis this weekend. The event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 23 from Noon to 5pm. This event will provide a fantastic opportunity to see two beautiful Sterling Custom Homes near completion.
The two homes we are featuring in the showcase are both located on waterfront properties. The first is at 2109 Ruffian Heights Cove and has 4,649 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and 2 half baths. The second home at 1700 Poco Bueno Court is 5,381 square feet and has 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and 3 half baths. When you think of these two homes’ specs you might think that they are very similar. In fact, they are not. They are two completely different homes and both have very unique, Sterling features.
The best way to understand the unique features that we implement in our custom homes would be to come out and see them. When you come to The Reserve on Sunday and register for the event, you will be entered to win a 50” TV, a delightful companion to any custom media room or game room. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday and discussing your luxury custom homes!
