Built in 1962

Nestled high above Lake Travis, the iconic residence known as "The Bond House" is a testament to the exquisite architectural innovation of O'Neil Ford. Built in 1962 and reimagined by Dick Clark and David Dalgleish in 1999, this home represents a seamless blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Situated on just under 4 acres, this private sanctuary offers stunning panoramic views of the lake, accessible by a dedicated tram leading to a private boat dock. Ford, celebrated for integrating modernism with Southwest pioneer styles, designed the home with a focus on straightforward craftsmanship, utilizing materials that endure the Texas heat while harmonizing with the natural surroundings. The property includes a solarium pool, four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, a great room with pitched ceilings, and a tranquil courtyard with a waterfall. Additionally, a walking trail surrounds the home, enhancing the sense of seclusion and connection with nature. Ford's design emphasizes practicality and respect for local traditions, seen in features like the hand-laid brick that complements the natural landscape. Appointed to the National Council on the Arts and honored as a National Historic Landmark, Ford's work on this home captures his ethos of authenticity and function. Dubbed, "The Bond House," with a reminiscent, sophisticated ambiance and international allure of the 1960s Sean Connery James Bond films, admiring its style and era-specific design. Private and gated, The Bond House is the ultimate Bond-style retreat, and a piece of architectural and cultural history steeped in the legacies of Texas luminaries, ideal for those who value heritage, design, privacy, and architectural integrity.
