Where architecture, artistry, and the magic of nature meet.

Originally crafted by a renowned architect, this remarkable residence has long stood as a symbol of vision and strength. Years later, University of Texas School of Architecture graduate Rebecca Connally—who went on to found her own design firm—saw not just a house, but a canvas, and devoted herself to lovingly reimagining every inch of it. Today, after a masterful renovation and expansion, the property emerges anew as The Connally: a true living work of art.

Set behind the gates of Rob Roy, this 4,000+ square foot home is a dialogue between structure and setting, light and landscape. Custom-milled California redwood walls, a standing seam steel roof, and an organic palette of white oak and stone root the residence deeply into its surroundings. Walls of glass don’t just invite the outdoors in—they transform the landscape into ever-changing living art, bathing every room in shifting natural light and color.

Every element has been reconsidered with extraordinary precision and passion. White oak floors flow through expansive, luminous spaces. Solid-core doors, bespoke hardware, and curated materials affirm the home’s extraordinary quality at every turn. A re-envisioned kitchen, anchored by Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, serves as the vibrant heart of daily life, while multiple living areas and private offices offer space to gather, create, and retreat.

The primary suite feels almost suspended among the treetops, with a spa-like marble bath designed as a sanctuary of light, texture, and quiet luxury. Each secondary bedroom and bath has been thoughtfully reimagined, balancing form, function, and timeless elegance.

Step outside, and the enchantment continues. A custom Badu swim system nestles among native oaks, framed by extraordinary steelwork that sculpts fencing, terraced stairs, and gardens with artful precision. Designed for both exercise and reflection, the Badu integrates seamlessly into the lush, layered landscape, where terraced gardens and a raised vegetable plot complete the feeling of a hidden, living sanctuary.

A detached, three-car garage and air conditioned studio offers flexible space for creativity, work, or celebration—and could easily be converted into a party barn for larger gatherings. Thoughtfully designed with soaring ceilings, exposed beams, and industrial-inspired details, the space blends utility and style in a way that invites endless possibilities.

The Connally is a composition of heart, craftsmanship, and place—a home where every detail breathes life, love, and lasting beauty.
