All sinks in the home are custom hammered copper with fixtures to match. A 48” refrigerator and all appliances are stainless steel. A walk-in pantry is large enough for all the canning and storage one could want. Saltillo tile floors throughout the home lead from the open kitchen to the dining and living areas. From the solid oak double door entry, a massive wood burning rock fireplace ascends all the way to the 20’ beamed ceilings. Two large bedrooms and baths are set up as suites at each end of the home and an office and half-bath complete the package. Three zones for heat and air, along with ‘instant hot’ water, a reverse osmosis water system, 6 inch walls and extra insulation make living comfortable and energy efficient. A “nerve center” closet houses all the wiring for the security system, computer system, entertainment center and speaker system throughout the interior and exterior. The veranda features a unique seating area around the outdoor wood-burning fireplace and the set-up for a summer kitchen. Outside, the driveway from the gated entry winds through the prettiest coastal field scattered with majestic oaks and oak-mottes, passes a one acre tank and picnic area and up to the home, which is nicely secluded behind the oaks. The property is fenced and cross fenced for cattle and horses, has a custom built deluxe hen house for those farm fresh eggs and a huge fenced in organic vegetable garden. A 360’ Edwards domestic well keeps all of the above amply watered. Other utilities include gas cooking, heating and fireplace starters, and Medina Electric provides all the power. Ag valuation will keep the taxes comfortable. This home is brand new in 2010, completely custom inside and out and made to order for the discriminating individual seeking the upscale yet relaxed country lifestyle!
