BRIARCLIFF
Haute New Opening: Briarcliff Texas Realty, Slice of Heaven on the Lake start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” — Meister Eckhart
I am excited to announce the grand opening of Briarcliff Texas Realty! With 36 years of residential real estate experience and $450 million in closed sales volume within large metro areas, it was time to make my next dream come true ~ settle into a beautiful, quaint community nestled in nature next to a body of water. It would be there that I could laser focus my honed real estate skill sets to be of ultimate service to my neighborhood. I was so lucky when I found that magical place in Briarcliff. It is here now that I am trusting the magic to begin anew as Broker/Owner of Briarcliff Texas Realty. THE VILLAGE THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
Briarcliff Village is located inside the exemplary Lake Travis Independent School District. Not only is it home to the 5 time consecutive State Champion football team but also has an award winning theatre program which houses two theaters. Lake Travis High School offers more than 200 academic courses plus advanced placement which drives the above
average SAT scores. Robust elementary and middle school set the tone for their students to become life long learners and an appreciation of cultural diversity. The Lake Travis school bus system is active throughout the Briarcliff neighborhood as growing families continue to select Briarcliff as home. NATURE IS NO LONGER A PLACE TO VISIT, IT’S HOME
Cresting the top of Pace Bend Road while heading into Briarcliff, the view is something out of a European travel magazine. With it’s dotted homes of diverse design, large private lots bathed in greenery, a plethora of scattered ponds, hike and bike trails all located right at the wide channel turn of the Colorado River (Lake Travis). The taxes are low and the prices range from entry at $275,000 up to the larger waterfront homes that exceed $1 million. Briarcliff has its own full Marina for boat rental or docking. Overlooking the Marina perched on rocky cliff, the fabulous Lighthouse Restaurant & Lounge with great eats and live music. We are 20 minutes to Hill Country Galleria, 40 minutes northwest of Austin and a straight shot off 71 to 290 which takes you directly to Austin’s Airport. Willie Nelson’s 9 Hole Golf Course is in Briarcliff right below his famed Luck, Texas which hosts SXSW every year with music and festivities. I look forward to sharing the “Power of Good Advice” in all things real estate! Marisue Mullins, CCFP, CRB, ABR, CNE Broker/Owner | 512.623.0705 marisuemullins@me.com briarclifftexas.realestate

Spring is here! It’s our favorite time of year to roll the windows down and adventure out to admire the wildflowers blooming all over Hill Country! In this issue, we kick off celebrating community and the business owners behind our local favorites. A huge congrats to Julie Crawford (pictured on the right), owner of Vintage Soul, for winning Business of the Year in Dripping Springs! It’s been inspiring to watch Julie grow Vintage Soul over the years to a haute destination on Mercer Street! For our Style feature, we thought it would be fun to show off the boutique owners behind our favorite shops on Page 10! Don’t miss our interview with the Junk Gypsy girls (who are forever hustling!) sharing the scoop on The Wander Inn, their newest addition to Gypsyville, on Page 26. We spent the afternoon at Red
Arena in Dripping Springs, a non-profit that touches many families in our community with its mission to empower individuals with disabilities through equine therapies. Learn more about why Jennifer Young started Red Arena, their programs and upcoming annual fundraiser on Page 25. A big thank you to our loyal and new advertising partners who make it possible for Haute Finds to donate space and use our platform to share the big things local non-profits are doing! We’re also excited to partner with High 5 in Lakeway to support Red Oak Hope and The Key2Free to raise money on April 24th for their transportation programs that assist local women affected by the sex industry. Look for more details on Facebook and Instagram @hautefinds_ austinhc!

AT COMFYDENT SMILES WE DO DENTISTRY DIFFERENTLY!!! YOUR COMFORT IS OUR NUMBER ONE GOAL!
While we take care of your oral health, we want you to just relax and enjoy.

We can even wrap you up in a warm blanket if you wish to take a nap! Why not? If you are having slight dental anxiety and need an additional “umpf “ to help you relax, just order from our complimentary nitrous oxide bar! DENTISTRY SERVICES FOR KIDS AND ADULTS
We offer full range of general dentistry services for kids and adults ranging from simple exams and cleanings, to cosmetic smile make overs, implants, dentures, and invisible braces for straighter teeth. Check us out at www.comfydentsmilestx.com where you can book your appointment using our live schedule. You can select a day and time that works with your schedule, fill out your new patient paperwork, all from the comfort of your home on your mobile device.

Charity Spotlight: REDArena Meet Jennifer Young , the Founder of REDArena, a local non profit organization empowering individuals through equine assisted therapies. TELL US ABOUT YOUR MISSION AND WHY YOU STARTED RED ARENA.
Our mission is empowerment through horses. We started 10 years ago with one horse and six kids with disabilities out of the need for equine assisted therapies in this area. Since then we have grown to serve over 150 kids and adults with disabilities each week at our location off Hamilton Pool and have just opened a second location in San Marcos.
Jennifer Young
WHAT PROGRAMS DO YOU OFFER INDIVIDUALS AND DISABILITIES?
Our core programs are equine assisted physical, occupational and speech therapies (aka hippotherapy) and therapeutic riding lessons. We also have a job training program on horse care and barn management for young adults with disabilities who are transiting out of high school. We recently added a resilience program, with counseling services that are art and nature based. And we have a free reading to the horses program. And each summer we do horse camps. The camps are inclusive, so kids of all ability levels come together for a fun week of trail rides, friendship building, crafts and horse care. YOUR ANNUAL RED ARENA ROUND-UP HORSE SHOW IS COMING UP.
This is our 9th annual event! It kicks off Friday May 3 at 5pm - 8pm with free appetizers, wine and spirit tastings while you shop the silent auction. We have live music by the Eddie Ray Band made up of some of our local young men with disabilities, the Tito’s walk - think cake walk for vodka, a Crossfit challenge and an equine trail challenge as well as our adult riders competing in their horse show. Then Saturday May 4 we start at 8am with a 5k/10k trail run on the shady trails around Dripping Springs Ranch Park. Our kids horse show runs at 9am - 1pm along with a free kid carnival games and petting zoo. It’s a free event to park and enter. The funds we raise from the BBQ plates, snow cones, raffles and silent auction go to support the scholarships and programs at RED. It’s a great day to bring the family, have some fun and cheer on our amazing riders.

Haute Interview with Junk Gypsy girls on their new getaway, The Wander Inn The Junk Gypsy girls share the haute scoop on their newest addition to Gypsyville, The Wander Inn, in Round Top. With only a population of 90, this small but mighty Hill Country town has big things going on year round at the Junk Gypsy store and for the Round Top Antique Show that happens twice a year. Tell us about the inspiration behind opening The Wander Inn.
Well. . . we always say that the Wander Inn found us! We didn’t actually set out to be inn keepers, but now it’s like the one thing we never knew we needed and it truly has completed the Gypsyville story. A few years ago the land behind our JG compound came up for sale, and we jumped headlong into it and bought it without really having much time to really think about adding a lodging feature to the JG compound. But the second the property became ours and we cut the barbwire fence and walked across that border, we realized it was supposed to be ours all along. Soon we started the process of renovating the entire inn . . . it was decorated very “victorian/western granny-style B&B” and we knew that most of that had to go. So we sat and we thought about the land that rolls up to the porches, the land that has stories to tell. From the Independence Trail to the history of the Round Top Antique Show that’s graced our highways for over 50 years, and the trail of wildflowers that is an essential part of any road trip through Central Texas, and the Native Americans that once lived here who were said to have felt that they were allowed to live here in this enchanted land by the “grace of the Great Spirit”. . . and then we combined that with the spirit of the great American cattle drives that rambled close-by in neighboring counties, and all that cowboy (and cowgirl) spirit and we tried to craft a place that tells those stories, honors the history and carries on the Junk Gypsy spirit of that great American road trip. The Inn isn’t really about “luxury” . . although there is a fair amount of that . . . the Wander Inn is really more about the land, the space around you, and connecting with yourself and with kindred spirits . . . it’s about sitting about the fire pit and watching the stars, listening to the coyotes howl and dreaming up great adventures. It’s about the experience. It’s about wide open spaces and scratchy vinyls on the record player. And it’s bout getting lost, but finding yourself. Each room just pops with chasing dreams, creativity, adventure and stories. Tell us about the 8 rooms guests can stay in.
At the Wander Inn we have 8 very unique rooms (and more on the way!) . . but these 8 rooms were handcrafted by us down to the smallest details. From the hand-sewn fringed dropcloth curtains, to the old velvet sofas, to the handpainted thunderbird headboards, each detail was designed by us. We’ve also showcased a lot of our favorite pieces of “junk” from over the many years there at the inn. We wanted it to be a place that we would want to stay . . a place that feels like the coolest home away from home ever! A place that conjures up big dreams and inspires you to slow down at the same time.

What are some must stops to shop, eat and experience the magic of Round Top with girlfriends?
26
Here there’s a beautiful, sweet magic that rests atop the pastures in the early morning sunrise as the cows are grazing. So coffee on the porch of the Inn is the perfect way to start each day, and since Round Top is in one of the darkest counties in the State of Texas, it makes for some of the most amazing stargazing you’ll find. And if you’re here for Antiques Week, there’s simple magic in the hunt for that perfect treasure, some of our favorite haunts are - Zapp Hall, Excess, and Bar W field (and of course you must stop by our store!) Or if you’re here during the rest of the year, there’s an old-fashioned magic to slowing down on our country roads and seeing some of the most amazing Texas farmhouses in the state! or eating homemade apple pie at Royer’s Cafe, getting lost in the gardens at Festival Hill, or junkin’ at some of the shops in town. Having a glass of wine at Prost, or just sitting by our firepit is pretty much a must. gypsyville.com/wander-inn / @wanderinn / 1215 S. State HWY 237, Round Top, Texas / 979.2495865

Torr Na Lochs Vineyard and Winery, located just 6 miles west of Burnet, is gearing up for their 2019 growing season and their 5th vintage of delicious wines. As part of their commitment to produce high quality Texas wines, they will now bottle all wines on the premises. Blake and Karen DeBerry, the owners and winemakers of Torr Na Lochs, are excited to create wines directly from the vineyard to the bottle – “From Rocks to Wine”. Controlling the final step of the winemaking process is important to the DeBerrys. The line, which produces 1500 bottles per hour, is up and running. This Spring and Summer, visitors will be able to enjoy the very first wine, the 2017 Estate Malbec, bottled on the new line. Other wines that were bottled within the first week of running the line are: the 2017 Texas Star Tempranillo, 2017 Estate Syrah, and 2017 Montepulciano. There will be even more 2017 and 2018 vintage wines coming to the menu over the next few months. Most of the bottles are closed with a Stelvin Lux screw cap instead of a cork. This cap can simulate the oxygen transfer rate of a cork, allowing the reds to age gracefully without the risk of cork taint ruining the wine. Make sure you visit Torr Na Lochs soon and enjoy a Truly Texas Wine Experience! TASTINGS | TOURS | SMALL BITES | EVENTS | HILL COUNTRY VIEWS
