Hello, I’m Cristine White of Realty Central.  Thank you for taking a moment to join me on a tour of this fabulous home nestled on a hillside in the golf/resort community known as La Paloma, here in Amarillo, TX.  This site is filled with information and links brimming with reasons to make the quiet community of Amarillo, Texas your home.  After the tour, I hope you’ll browse the information we’ve provided. 

I’m standing on a hilltop at the end of a cul-de-sac known as Carnoustie Drive.  As you can see, it is lined with beautifully designed custom homes located on spacious lots along a private, championship golf course.  Among the most interesting and exciting features of this home located at #22 Carnoustie is that it is NOT visible from the street.    Only a custom made, automatic iron entry gate labeled “22” hints at the grandeur and privacy to follow. 

Just inside the entry gate, you’ll wind around the hillside on a stamped concrete drive to a four car parking garage.  The dramatic stone exterior is punctuated by a spectacular two story entry.  Inside the foyer, the eye is drawn to the exquisite custom crafted wood work including 8’ doors, custom floors, heavy moldings and an elegant curved staircase.  The first of numerous lighted art niches strategically placed throughout the home are visible from the entry.  It is spacious enough to accommodate and display the most luxurious of entry furniture.  The massive, custom designed iron entry fixture is remote controlled for easy cleaning and bulb changing access.  Beyond the entry is the main living area bathed in the natural light made possible by its private, hillside location.  Since the home wraps the hillside, virtually every living space has its own unique but equally amazing multi-mile view of the Texas landscape and the lakes and golf course below. 

The main kitchen is well appointed with commercial grade Wolfe, Sub-Zero and Bosche appliances.  Its design and function is equally pleasing to the professional chef or the home cooking gourmet.  Its custom wood cabinetry and carved granite top are works of art. 

The massive formal dining room is punctuated by another spectacular iron light fixture designed as a companion to the entry piece.   Beyond the kitchen is a laundry and storage facility. 

Also on the ground floor is a palatial owner’s suite to rival that of any Hollywood mansion.  It boasts closet space for a massive wardrobe, luxurious bathing accommodations, including claw foot tub, walk through shower and extensive vanity space.  A private exercise niche provides a beautiful view and enough space for a commercial grade treadmill.  An exquisite wood spiral staircase leads to an upstairs loft, ideal for a personal office or computer space.  From that loft, access to the upstairs living spaces, kitchenette and bar is readily available.

Two other bedroom suites are located on the ground floor.  Upstairs is another spacious living area with amazing wood cabinetry and a wet bar with kitchenette appointments, two additional bedroom suites and a game room large enough for a full size pool table, game table and bar seating.  Beyond the game room is a private sanctuary with built in storage and work tables perfect for sewing, crafting or Christmas wrapping.  

Most living spaces include built in plasma video/television equipment integrated into the complex multi-function electronic engineering of the home.  Features include remote video access, operation and programming of many of the electronic functions of the home as well as single switch management of house lighting.    

The main house occupies one lot, while the private drive is located on what was formerly common area purchased to allow for the obscure entry and gated golf course access. 

The home contains multiple balconies, patios and breezeways to maximize the view and incorporate the surroundings into the interior of the home.  The main patio contains a state of the art outdoor cooking facility.  Its glass wall to the patio can be fully opened or completely closed.  At the apex of the property is a native stone partial enclosure with a private hot tub.  From the enclosure, through custom ironwork, the gorgeous view is fully visible to the occupant(s), but no one below can see them.  From the hot tub, and all along the north stone wall of the property, water cascades from multiple falls into a 5’ deep lap pool.  Gas firepots provide perfect evening mood lighting and warmth for year round entertaining or private enjoyment of the luxurious poolside.  The surrounding stone also provides winter shelter and privacy without compromising the view.

This home has many other amenities, including state of the art security features to be  disclosed only to the most serious, pre-screened buyers. Please contact me, Cristine White for more information about this property.  Private showings can be arranged by appointment, and in complete confidence.  If you are represented by an agent, we are happy to deal with your appointee.  Don’t forget to check the remainder of this site for information on the benefits of an Amarillo, Texas based homestead.  You might be surprised at its unique advantages.
