Sterling Hosts AquaPalooza VIP Party

Austin custom homebuilder Sterling Custom Homes was the proud Title Sponsor of the 2010 AquaPalooza VIP Party, held at The Reserve at Lake Travis last Friday evening. The event was a tremendous success with over 500 guests treated to a waterfront venue catered by the fabulous folks at The Trading Post. Music was provided by the incomparable “Suede,” whose lively music had the dance floor full and the party rockin’!
AquaPalooza is a music festival on water, awarded to the nations leading Sea Ray boat dealer – our own Sail and Ski Center. Nearly 3,000 boats were present and the crowd was lively for the headline act, Brad Paisley.
Sterling Custom Homes was excited to be so heavily involved in the festival because the host development was our friends at The Reserve at Lake Travis. This is Lake Travis’ newest and (in my opinion) finest development featuring Read More→
A Great Day for a Slab Pour
Posted by:
Recently, we began the process of pouring the slab for our clients, the Johnson’s, in The Reserve at Lake Travis. This lakefront Austin home has a large, 10 car garage built underneath the main level, so the slab will be poured in three stages. Talk about unique Austin custom homes! The first stage, which you are seeing here, is the lower slab. The next pour will be to create the vertical slab wall that will be placed in front of the cut you can see in the pictures. The third pour will be to tie in the upper slab.
Homes such as these are found often in Austin and are very popular for our custom clients who are building on lots that slope from front to back. This allows us to work with the topography rather than against it and always creates great views from the main level of the home. In this instance there will be a garage underneath the main level, but many times we will design the home so that the secondary bedrooms, Gameroom or even the Study are below the main level.

Lake Travis Finally Filling Up!
Posted by:
Sterling Custom Homes has been building in the Lake Travis area for over 20 years. In that time, we have seen the lake level fluctuate drastically. Being the variable level lake in the chain of lakes operated by the Lower Colorado River Authority, Lake Travis has fluctuated from a high level of 710 msl in 1991 to it’s lowest level of 614 msl way back in 1951.
More recently, the lake was down to 636 msl in August of 2009. The recent wet weather over the past few months has fortunately brought the lake back up to the near-full level of 676 msl.
We have built many custom homes on Lake Travis over the years. We currently have one project underway at Waterfront in Rough Hollow and another beginning soon in The Reserve at Lake Travis. Both of these Austin, Texas custom homes are designed to take advantage of the incredible views and relaxing lifestyle provided by their lakefront settings.
