Nestled in the rolling Hill Country, this timeless custom-built home sits on 16 stunning acres enjoying panoramic scenery for miles. Award winning Fredericksburg builder, Richard Laughlin placed this home perfectly to capture the breathtaking long-range views of the Guadalupe River Valley. Meticulous attention was given to every detail designing this 3,252 square foot haven. This home radiates a simple but elegant lifestyle including unique features of refurbished barn floors, ceilings and beams. The open floor plan showcases a 30 high ceiling, a timeless limestone fireplace, charming farmhouse kitchen, antique doors, custom cabinetry and a newly updated master bathroom. This hilltop escape promotes outdoor living with an impressive porch that holds a hot tub flowing into a custom designed pool below that truly compliments the home. Entertaining around the outdoor firepit will make your guests want to extend their stay in this rare jewel of the Texas Hill Country.

Main House:

The well-crafted main house boasts a charming blend of rustic elegance and modern convenience. Beautiful, natural light greets you when you step through the front door, as it features high ceilings, big windows, and an open floor plan. The master bedroom showcases expansive windows that frame sweeping views of the Hill Country, along with a spacious, newly remodeled bathroom and walk-in closet. Upstairs, the two bedrooms and full bath are linked by a hallway designed with two built-in desks.

The generously sized kitchen is a chefs delight, with custom cabinets and Kitchen Aid appliances. The kitchen seamlessly flows into a spacious living room with high vaulted ceilings, a custom stone fireplace, and a back porch with the picture-perfect views you dream about in a Hill Country home. This creates the perfect place for both the entertainer and those looking for a quiet, cozy evening. This space also includes a 100+ sq ft loft, ideal for accommodating extra guests. Additionally, there's a room adjacent to the entryway, suitable for use as an office, additional bedroom or nursery. The spacious laundry room is just down the hall from the master suite.

Additional Improvements:

Just adjacent to the main house, you'll find a covered parking area that includes a large, airtight storage room in addition to a separate 1-bedroom, 1-bath suite. This area is equipped with a new split unit for added comfort and privacy for longer term guests. Attention to detail continues to shine through, with the garage roof crafted from antique hand-crimped tin, adding just another touch of character. Below the house, there is a barn ideal for equipment storage or raising small livestock. This barn also includes an additional airtight storage room with sliding barn door.

Land:

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a well-maintained chip-seal driveway that winds through ridge after ridge of stunning oak, cherry and cedar elm trees. Climbing over 100 feet in elevation to the home, you are rewarded with breathtaking views that stretch for miles with not a roof top in site. Every tree on the property has been carefully manicured, enhancing the overall beauty of this estate.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be amazed at the abundance of wildlife on property- from large populations of Axis and Whitetail to the occasional Rio Grande Turkey.

Location:

Conveniently located just a few minutes from IH-10 and the thriving town of Comfort, this property offers the tranquility of country living without sacrificing the convenience of the popular nearby hill country towns.
