THE RESERVE
at Bluff Hollow
Crafted Without Compromise.
Designed for a Lifetime.
Designed by Straka Johnson Architects, built by Aaron Konrardy Construction, and enriched by the custom craftsmanship of Smith Gallery, The Reserve reflects an unwavering commitment to quality and detail.
Natural materials, artisan finishes, and modern technology are seamlessly woven throughout the home, from French oak floors and Chicago brick accents to custom millwork, ironwork, Lutron lighting, and Savant automation. The result is a residence that feels both timeless in design and effortless in the way it lives.
An Extraordinary Setting.
An Unforgettable View.
Positioned on more than four private acres within the gated community of Bluff Hollow, The Reserve pairs breathtaking Mississippi River views with a level of privacy rarely found. Every room was thoughtfully designed to celebrate the surrounding landscape while creating an exceptional setting for gathering, entertaining, and retreat.
A Setting Designed to Be Shared.
Life at The Reserve naturally unfolds outdoors. Centered around a 20'x40' saltwater sport pool, the property offers a collection of thoughtfully curated spaces for gathering, entertaining, and relaxation. The outdoor kitchen—complete with a wood-fired pizza oven, grill, refrigerator, bar, and prep area—creates the perfect setting for hosting family and friends, while multiple fireplaces invite conversation long after sunset. Expansive covered living areas feature retractable screens and infrared heating, extending the enjoyment of the outdoors through every season.
Integrated audio, an IPE deck, professionally designed landscaping, and sweeping Mississippi River views further elevate the experience. Whether enjoying a quiet sunrise overlooking the river or an evening celebration beside the pool, every element was designed to bring people together while embracing the beauty of its remarkable setting.
Everyday Luxury
Behind every beautiful space is thoughtful functionality. The kitchen was designed to be as practical as it is stunning, featuring Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, a hidden refrigerator, steam oven, warming drawer, and a spacious island designed for gathering. Just beyond, a fully appointed butler's pantry offers additional preparation space, a sink, wine refrigeration, and seamless support for entertaining.
Throughout the home, custom cabinetry and built-ins by Smith Gallery provide both beauty and purpose, while automated shades, Lutron lighting, and Savant home automation create effortless comfort at the touch of a button. From the walk-in pantry and drop zone to dual laundry areas and integrated technology, every detail was carefully considered to simplify daily living without compromising design.
A Private Sanctuary
Wake to panoramic Mississippi River views, unwind beside the fireplace, and retreat to a suite designed for comfort, privacy, and everyday luxury. Designed as a retreat from the everyday, the primary suite combines comfort, craftsmanship, and breathtaking river views in one extraordinary space. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create a sense of warmth and scale, while a private fireplace and automated shades enhance both comfort and convenience.
The spa-inspired bath was thoughtfully designed for relaxation, featuring a soaking tub positioned to capture the view, a spacious walk-in shower, dedicated makeup vanity, and private water closet. Swarovski crystal hardware, custom cabinetry, and carefully selected finishes elevate every detail. Equally impressive, the custom dressing spaces offer exceptional organization and functionality. Complete with bespoke built-ins, soft-close drawers, dedicated shoe storage, jewelry organization, a center island with statement chandelier, and a discreet linen closet, every element was designed to bring beauty and ease to daily living.
Gather. Celebrate. Recharge.
Designed to bring people together while offering space to unwind, this level seamlessly blends hospitality, recreation, and wellness. A dedicated wine tasting room, natural wine cellar, and custom bar create an inviting setting for gatherings both large and small, while the adjoining great room provides the perfect backdrop for celebrations, conversation, and game-day traditions.
Equally thoughtful is the home's commitment to everyday comfort. A private fitness studio, steam shower, locker area, changing room, and dedicated laundry offers a seamless transition from poolside afternoons to relaxed evenings with family and friends.
