Timeless Texas Wine Country Retreat

The limestone exterior and metal roof immediately establish a sense of classic Texas craftsmanship; and vintage wood doors and granite countertops throughout the home reinforce a warm, rustic charm that feels both authentic and enduring. Designed for generational gatherings, the home offers plenty of room for family and friends, both inside and out. A bright, vaulted living room encourages everyone to converge and connect, with a cozy fireplace to snuggle around on cooler nights. Warm summer evenings will see everyone gravitating towards one of three porches where they can sit with a dish of ice cream or a nightcap and watch the fireflies. The oversized kitchen provides plenty of room for the cook and helpers, with abundant counter space and an oversized island. The adjacent breakfast room allows others to chat while a meal is being prepared; extensive storage helps keep things tidy.
Relax and Recharge
The main-floor primary suite features French doors which open out to a gravel patio where you could enjoy morning coffee gazing out over the prairie. A sizable bathroom enjoys a soaking tub, separate limestone-clad shower, granite countertops and a large walk-in closet. A second en-suite bedroom on the main floor also looks out over the landscape. Upstairs, a spacious open area with its own full bath currently functions as a flexible bonus space; but can be used as a bedroom or office, and easily enclosed if desired. A guest apartment only a few steps away from the main house also allows for a bit of separation.
Room to Roam with Ample Expansion Opportunities
Dotted with mature oaks the level acreage offers plenty of room to roam, whether the roamers are human or animal. Currently the property has an agricultural exemption and hosts two steers, but can also provide a welcoming home for goats, chickens or other native wildlife. The flat landscape offers the opportunity to expand the compound with additional dwellings, a studio, pool or almost anything else you can dream up. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or legacy Hill Country property, this Fredericksburg offering delivers timeless Texas character, thoughtful design, and exceptional versatility near the Texas wine country.
