About Us
The Property
Located on the edge of town near Festival Hill along the banks of Boggy Branch Creek, Red Antler consists of three 1,300+ square foot two bedroom, two bath bungalows. As well as the Branca Bungalow, featuring interior design by Alessandra Branca. Each bungalow comes equipped with a full kitchen, gas range, washer/dryer, dining area, living room with a fireplace and screened porches. Along adjacent walking paths the property also includes a fire pit, gas grilling area and a swimming pool. Red Antler Bungalows are situated just on the edge of Round Top city limits, a short walk or drive to many restaurants, shops, cultural venues, and historic local sights.
Thoughtfully Designed
While on the exterior the units are all similar in design, the interiors are unique to each. Ranging from a more contemporary unit complete with Knoll dining chairs, a polished chrome wet bar and photography by Kurt Markus to one with lacquered bright green dining chairs, chinoiserie fabrics and works by Harrison Howard, each bungalow has its own unique personality.
The bedrooms feature king sized beds with sustainably sourced, 1200 thread count, Supima cotton bedding, with some having daybeds for afternoon naps or an extra guest. Walk in showers in each bathroom. Additionally each room has a walk in closet. The bungalows have been thoughtfully appointed for both short or long term visits. Our goal is to make sure everything has been provided so that no matter how long the stay, everyone feels relaxed and at home.
Our Story
The Red Antler Bungalows is the creation of John Cone and Greg Fourticq, both from Houston. Fourticq spent a decade in New York working for Donna Karan Home and Calvin Klein Home, opening boutiques for Carolina Herrera, and designing his own stunning apartments along the way. Cone, the managing partner for family businesses ranging from commercial construction consulting to insurance, follows art and interior design with a passion.
