A Timeless Country Retreat on 18 Acres Nestled in the peaceful countryside and conveniently located between Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, this 18-acre property offers a rare blend of history, comfort, and thoughtful design. At its center is a two-story home built from beautiful cave select stone, featuring a striking central stone fireplace that adds warmth and character. The 4-bedroom, 4-bath layout is thoughtfully designed for both privacy and connection. A custom metal scrollwork catwalk links the two upstairs bedrooms, offering a unique architectural touch. Inside, rich knotty alder cabinetry, granite countertops, and repurposed historic materials bring warmth and authenticity throughout the home. A hand-dug water well in the front yard speaks to the property’s heritage, while a nearby orchard of pear, plum, apple, nectarine, and peach trees provides seasonal abundance. Seven gentle ducks and geese roam freely, adding charm and life to the landscape. Enjoy peaceful outdoor living with an enclosed leisure porch, a cozy firepit sitting area, and a private hot tub on the back porch overlooking the countryside. The open pasture supports livestock with a cattle shed, chute area, water trough, electric, and perimeter fencing. Built in 2017, the home includes a 200-amp electrical service, a 500-gallon propane tank, a 200-foot well with softener system, and a second 200-amp service ready for a workshop, studio, or guest space. Fiber optic lines run directly to the home, providing high-speed internet—perfect for remote work or streaming. 25% mineral rights convey, offering future potential. Whether you dream of a working ranch, weekend escape, or heritage-rich homestead, this unique property invites you to live with purpose, rooted in nature and timeless beauty.
