Come see The Shelby, comprised of seven buildings built between the early 1800s and 1980 and located on four beautifully landscaped acres, surrounded by a pretty iron fence, in the quaint community of Shelby, approximately eight miles from Round Top. You can own a piece of Texas history!
The newly renovated Homestead is a charming 2430 sq. ft. two-story home with hgih ceilings, wood walls and floors, a very large remodeled country kitchen, three huge bedrooms, two bathrooms, a butler's pantry, and a parlor with lots of windows. This house is the cornerstone of the property.
Nearby is the Carriage House, which houses two vintage horse-drawn carriages (negotiable). Upstairs is an adorable one-room apartment (sitting area, kitchen, and sleeping area) with separate bath.

The log chapel, built in the 1980's, has a wonderful front door from a mission church in Mexico, wrought iron light fixtures and ceiling fans, cedar church pews and pulpit, magnificent stained glass windows and an antique church bell. The chapel is popular for weddings.
The 5,500 sq. ft. Inn, built in the 1800's, once housed drummers selling to the local mercantile stores. The ballroom/dancehall, which occupies the entire 2nd floor, has hosted many dances and wedding reeptions. There was even a bar in the root/wine cellar. (The root cellar is still there, though I'm not sure about the bar.) A recent remodel has created two 3-bedroom, 1-bath suites.
A 1,075 sq. ft. school house has been converted into a cozy guest house. The main floor is living area with a kitchen and bathroom. In the open loft is a sizable bedroom which will accommodate two double beds. A huge school bells hangs from a towner nearby.
Next to that is a 1,294 sq. ft. Texas ranch house with long covered front porch and smaller back porch, a nice size eat-in kitchen, sitting room, bedroom and bath.
And finally, the oldest structure on the property, Alex's Country Mercantile, operated as a Republic of Texas Post Office from 1836 to 1846, then became a combination barber shop, post office and country store until 1962.
The current owner recently remodeled all of the buildings and the grounds and began her dream to operate a bed and breakfast and wedding facility. However, life happens and her plans have changed. So this is your opportunity. Live here and have the best of the best or open your own business. Let us hear from you right away.
