Moreh Peak Pass

There’s something about fall in Austin that just feels right. The heat starts to ease up, football returns and weekends fill with a different kind of energy, from backyard gatherings to long dinners with friends. Around this time at Luxury Home Magazine, we’re not just planning for the new year ahead, we’re also taking a moment to appreciate the people and places that make this community feel like home. This season reminds us how good it feels to connect and to slow down just enough to enjoy it.

Our cover home on page 64, presented by C indy Greenwood of Greenwood Residential sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Tarrytown and blends timeless craftsmanship with modern design. Built by Dalgleish Construction and designed by Ted Young with interiors by Elizabeth Stanley, this 4,941-square-foot residence features hand-applied plaster walls, reclaimed barnwood floors, and custom finishes throughout. Standout details include a 19-foot sculptural steel vent hood, brass-plated bar, and Moroccan-inspired outdoor terrace with fireplace, soapstone grill, and views of the pool and spa. A rare opportunity to own a new-build in one of Austin’s most iconic neighborhoods.

Austin has always been a city that knows how to gather. Whether it is the Texas Book Festival downtown, a community fundraiser or a quiet dinner in your own backyard, there is something special about the way this city shows up. Austin was recently named the number one large city in the country for economic growth, a recognition that reflects the city’s continued investment in its future through green space, smart infrastructure and even the quiet possibility of tunnels beneath our feet. As we head into the season of thanks, it is a good time to pause and take in what really matters, the people, places and shared moments that make this home.

Luxury Home Magazine continues to be a trusted resource for all things luxury, shaped by the professionals who know this market best. Whether you are planning your next move or simply staying connected to the place you love, we are honored to be part of the journey.

Our Food & Entertaining feature on pages 86–87 spotlights J-Prime Steakhouse and thoughtful hosting ideas set the tone for seasonal gatherings. You will also find our latest Notable Sales on pages 80–81 featuring several standout properties valued at over six million. These recent transactions reflect the continued strength and resilience of Austin’s luxury market.

This season is the perfect time to embrace coastal living in Port A. Palmilla Beach offers more to enjoy, more to experience, and more to call your own.

Here, thoughtful architecture mirrors the laid-back vibe of the coast, while every walkway opens to curated experiences for those who crave more from the Texas coast. Play a round of golf, relax by the swim-up bar, and enjoy beachfront dining service and year-round Gulf views—all just moments from home. Check out our homes that are available now for move-in.

HOSTING A MEMORABLE HOLIDAY DINNER: KEY TIPS FOR SUCCESS

The secret to hosting a successful holiday dinner lies in three timeless principles: plan ahead, create an inviting atmosphere, and stay fully engaged with your guests. When you focus on these essentials, you can transform your gathering into a warm, enjoyable celebration that everyone will remember. Whether you’re opening your home to family and friends or celebrating in a beautifully appointed restaurant like J-Prime Steakhouse, these tips will help your host with confidence and style. Prepare and Plan Ahead

Thoughtful preparation is the foundation of a seamless holiday event. For at-home hosts, this means planning early. One way to simplify is by letting J-Prime handle part of the menu—our premium steaks and ready-to-serve sides can be ordered in advance and prepared to perfection at your convenience. This approach allows you to allocate more time to greeting your guests, setting the table, and enjoying the company rather than rushing in the kitchen. Our side dishes are designed to complement your meal perfectly, giving you restaurant-quality options with minimal effort on your part.

If you’re considering hosting at J-Prime, booking in advance is highly recommended—our private dining rooms can be reserved up to a year ahead, ensuring you secure the ideal date and space for your celebration. Early reservations give you peace of mind and allow us to work with you to customize the event experience. Whether at home or in our dining rooms, planning ahead allows for smoother execution and more space to focus on creating memories.

Set the Tone with an Inviting Atmosphere

The atmosphere sets the stage for an unforgettable evening. At J-Prime, every private dining room exudes modern sophistication. The lighting is dimmed to create an intimate ambiance, complemented by soft flickering candles that add a gentle glow to the table. The tables are elegantly set with fine dinnerware, making each meal feel special. When hosting at home, you can capture the same elegance by using warm lighting—think candles or string lights—and selecting tasteful decorations that match the season. When setting your table, always view the meal as the center of attention—leave ample space around your dishes to allow guests to serve themselves comfortably and to facilitate easy conversation across the table. In terms of decorations, be mindful not to overcrowd the space— thoughtful, minimal accents often make the biggest impact.

Using seasonal-colored napkins or changing the color of your candle holders are subtle ways to evoke the holiday spirit without disrupting the table’s overall harmony.

If you’ve reserved one of our private rooms, we encourage you to add personal touches before your guests arrive. A few carefully chosen details can make the space feel uniquely yours while keeping the festive spirit alive.

Be Engaged and Present

The heart of any memorable dinner is genuine connection. At J-Prime, our professional staff ensures service flows effortlessly, so you can spend the evening engaged with your guests instead of managing details. This allows you to be fully present with your guests, engaging in meaningful conversations and enjoying the moment. For at-home hosts, consider leveraging our excellent catering options that will provide the same benefit. By letting us handle sides and prepared dishes, you free yourself to focus on what matters most: sharing stories, laughing, and creating lasting memories.

Remember, the success of a dinner isn’t just in the food but in the atmosphere of warmth and camaraderie you foster. Be attentive, listen actively, and share your own stories and moments—these interactions will turn a simple gathering into lasting memories. Your genuine presence will elevate the entire event and leave your guests feeling truly special.

Celebrate the Season with Confidence

Hosting a holiday dinner doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By planning ahead, curating a warm atmosphere, and engaging fully with your guests, you can create an event filled with joy and connection. Whether you’re hosting at home with carefully curated meals and seasonal decorations, or celebrating in one of J-Prime’s elegant private dining rooms, these tips will help make your event a success. The holidays are about more than just the perfect meal—they’re about creating moments of warmth, love, and celebration. Relax, enjoy the process, and let the spirit of the season shine through your hospitality—your guests will appreciate the effort and the love you put into your celebration.
