A Timeless Country Retreat on 18 Acres: Where Heritage Meets Craftsmanship 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 home offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with a custom metal scrollwork catwalk connecting the upstairs bedrooms. Throughout the interior, you'll find knotty alder cabinetry, granite countertops, and rich wood accents — all enhanced by repurposed trim, accent walls, and doors from the original homestead, preserving the legacy of the land. Out front, the original hand-dug family water well still stands as a nod to the past. Just beyond the homesite, a fruitful orchard includes pear, plum, apple, nectarine, and peach trees, offering seasonal harvests. Adding charm and utility, seven ducks and geese roam freely — gentle enough to be hand-fed. The pasture area, previously used for cattle, include a pole barn, chute area, and fencing, ready for livestock. The home is equipped with a 200-amp electric service, 500-gallon propane tank, and a new water well with a softener system. A second 200-amp service is in place — ideal for a future workshop or expansion. As part of the sale, the seller will convey the 25% mineral rights they were conveyed, offering a unique potential. This unique property blends rustic charm with modern convenience, offering a serene rural lifestyle rooted in history — with city access just a short drive away.
