When Ross and Laurie Garber built their Austin, TX home, Ross, a forward-thinking tech entrepreneur and family man, had a specific vision. As the co-founder of the successful Vignette Corporation, he needed a home that was both private and secure, but also a fun place to play a game of catch with his son.
Building the Dream.
With the help of renowned architects Miro Rivera and The Shiflet Group, combined with the highest-quality materials sourced by Dalgleish Construction and White Construction, Ross made his dream come true with 101 Pascal Lane. Sitting on 3.5-acres, 101 Pascal Lane is surrounded by 400 acres of land that is protected by a private institution, guaranteeing absolute privacy and security. With five different structures on the estate, the family compound is a playground for kids and adults alike.
The home was meticulously decorated by acclaimed Designer Fern Santini.
“It truly is a retreat — a compound in the middle of Austin that no one knows about — built with total privacy, the finest materials, great architecture, and beautiful finishes,” Fern noted. “Properties like this — on this type of acreage, with this type of privacy — they just don’t exist in Austin anymore.”
The 101 Pascal Ln “Owner’s Manual” David gave Ross.
Builder David Dalgleish affirmed, “The construction quality and architectural quality of this home, when it’s paired with the privacy of this estate, makes it one of the most exclusive properties in the city of Austin.”
Why Auction?
Ross is an innovator who drove the technology scene in Austin, paving the way for the tech hub the city has become. (Fun Fact: Concierge Auctions actually relocated our marketing team to Austin two years ago because of its vibrant tech scene and growth opportunities. So, thanks, Ross!) He’s always ahead of the curve. He knows his 3.5-acre family compound is unique. When he was ready to sell his home, naturally, he did painstaking due diligence on his options. He followed Concierge Auctions for two years and spent months researching auction methodology, eventually selecting us to auction his home.
“I’m convinced that auctions are the best way to sell one-of-a-kind luxury homes and within the next decade will be a standard,” Ross explains. “My family and I are preparing to move into a new property we’ve built. The convenience, surety, and global reach of Concierge Auctions will enable a smooth transition.
And, Ross is not alone.
“As with most of our clients, the Garbers reasons for selling are not financial or personal. They are simply moving on to the next phase in life and want to simplify,” President Laura Brady acknowledged. “We look forward to making that happen.”
Market Dynamics.
Previously offered for $16.9 million, 101 Pascal Lane will sell to the highest bidder without reserve in cooperation with Gary and Michelle Dolch of Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
“It’s an exciting time for the Austin real estate market, and this auction presents a great opportunity for buyers to take advantage,” stated Gary. “With the current influx of business funding, new residents, and global attention to Austin, there’s no doubt we will continue to see the quality and quantity of luxury properties increase. The next owners of 101 Pascal will be frontrunners in this trend. The compound would cost over $20 million to reproduce today, and that number is only climbing.”

101 Pascal Lane goes to auction on May 25. The property is available to preview daily 11-2 by RSVP at 212.390.0449.
