DESCRIPTION of HOME:

An Elegant Country Manor in a class of its own is truly without equal in this part of Texas. The home, completed in 2003, has almost 6,000 sq. ft. under roof and is the stunning result of two years of careful design and planning followed by 18 months of construction. Austin stone and classic stucco exterior accented by the dark gray multi-planed metal roof and tall white roman columns merely hint at the splendor of the interior. Click Here for Pictures

Light spills through the many panes of the ornate double entryway door and is reflected in the gleam of the marble floors. Gothic Roman columns support the domed ceiling above the hallway leading to the various living areas in the open arrangement. Each area has at least one unique feature. The formal living room displays a beautiful 17th century crystal chandelier imported from Spain and suspended from the triple cathedral sunk ceiling with triple crown moldings; the large formal dining room has a wall of custom built china display cabinets with the counter made of marble imported from the Dead Sea ; the den has beautiful hardwood flooring made cozy with a wood-burning fireplace and plenty of windows to let the outdoors in, and cabinets housing an impressive stereo system providing surround sound to the entire house and outdoor living areas.

A Brazilian granite dining bar that seats 8 separates the den area from the dream kitchen designed with the serious cook in mind. In addition to the wonderful granite countertops, the kitchen boasts custom built cabinets with many slide-outs, a cooking island, Jennair gas cook top, double-ovens, microwave, dishwasher, sub-zero frig, refrigerated built-in cabinet drawers, reverse osmosis water filter system, and much more.

A breakfast nook surrounded by windows is situated just off the kitchen and the sunken bar with a window to pass refreshments from the bar inside to the bar built into the edge of the swimming pool outside. Bar stools built into the pool along the edge of the bar provide convenient seating.

An octagon shaped ‘picture memory area’ is an anteroom for 3 bedrooms. Each bed-room has a full bath and huge walk-in closets. A bonus room upstairs is suitable for a playroom or an additional bedroom. Click Here for Pictures

On the opposite side of the house is the master suite accessed by double doors at the end of a marble hall. The master bath is a study of detail: gold-leaf paint and ornate gold hardware, unusual ceiling design, marble floors, Russian imported black granite countertops and shower, custom-designed beveled wall mirror, 2-passenger shower with full-body massage, huge Jacuzzi tub, ornate hand-painted wash bowls, separate water closet with toilet and bidet, wall-mounted flat screen TV, and a California style his & her closet. The master bedroom is spacious with its own wood-burning fireplace and dou-ble French doors opening to the outside pool area. A double picture frame ceiling, gold-leaf paint and thick carpeting accentuate the luxury of the room. Click Here for Pictures

Double doors separate a spacious home office from the main living area. Other rooms include a large laundry room with an exterior door; a mud room with a wall of custom-built cabinet storage and a sink. The mudroom provides access to the 3-car garage with automatic doors. Click Here for Pictures

Large windows and divided-light doors throughout add to the open spacious affect of the home. High, beautiful ceilings and the artful use of crown molding add to the grandeur.

Another gathering area is the outdoor kitchen featuring a massive outdoor built-in grill, sink, black tile counters and a bar with seating for four. It is situated just off the den with easy access to the pool area, the pool bathroom with shower, and the game/theatre room which is fully self-contained with separate a/c system, surround sound, kitchen area with sink and frig, and opens to the pool area.

The pool area has definite attitude! A stone privacy wall separates the pool area from the rest of the property. Several seating areas scattered around the white Austin stone patio allow family and guests to enjoy their time spent here. A small waterfall connects the hot tub to the main pool. The pool is 3.5’ at the shallow end and 4.5’ at the other – a comfortable depth for a family pool. Another unique feature in addition to the swim-up bar is a waterfall that cascades from the roofline of the house and falls into the middle of the pool!

The outdoor entertainment does not end with the pool. In the terrace below the house is a horseshoe pit and volley ball court. A path from the side patio leads down to an Austin stone terrace built next to the fishing pond. Rain water is collected from the roof of the house with a system of gutters, downspouts and underground drain pipes to fill this fish-ing pond. This is but one example of the thought and planning that went into the design of this house.

DESCRIPTION of Property: The land gently rolls away from the house standing stately on the hill. The 15 acres surrounding the home is bounded by white rail horse fencing that begins at the impressive entrance gate constructed of 8 huge white Austin stone columns accented by high-flying USA and Texas flags. The 185 acres is divided by game fences in two fields (70 acres and 32 acres) of cultivated farmland, 17 acres of manicured native pasture with mesquite, and 60 acres of improved coastal pasture. The soil is sandy loam and provides excellent pasture for horses and cattle. Two tanks (ponds) provide water for livestock as well as wildlife. Dove hunting is reported to be exceptional in this area.
