A rare opportunity to own a piece of history in its own historic setting. This home sits on approximately seven beautiful acres at historic Rabbs Prairie, just five minutes north of La Grange. From the front deck there is a panoramic view of the prairie, a natural phenomenon that attracted William Rabb to seek one of the first land grants from the Mexican government. (See the historic marker at the entrance to Rabbs Prairie from the U. S. Hwy. 77 N., attached). Out the back door you can walk across rolling, park-like meadows, with ancient pecan trees, to your own stretch of the Colorado River. The home itself was built in the ”prairie style” made famous by architect Frank Lloyd Wright: emphasizing natural construction and visual continuity with the surrounding prairie, well above the floodplain. Cedar siding, wide porches, etc. the interior has solid oak and natural stone flooring, showers and countertops. The owner also offers below market owner financing with below market down payment and terms.
