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.

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.
