A Study in Composure
Set on just over half an acre in south Lafayette, 101 Rio Ridge Drive is a new-construction estate that trades spectacle for composure. Completed in 2024, its 6,800 square feet unfold without haste — rooms sized for gathering, thresholds that open to the pool and the covered loggia, light that moves through the day and settles by evening.
Five bedrooms and five-and-a-half-plus baths are arranged for both retreat and welcome. The living spaces reach outward to a private pool and spillover spa, an outdoor kitchen, and a covered living area warmed by a fireplace — where the boundary between house and landscape is drawn lightly and crossed often. A four-car garage anchors the practical side of a house built for a life lived fully.
This is a single property, offered once. What follows is not a list of amenities but an account of a place — private, newly made, and finished to the standard its address suggests.
Some houses announce themselves. This one simply waits, and lets you arrive.
