About This Home
As of April 2025Nestled on 5.21 private acres, this Hill Country retreat is more than a home—it’s an experience. Imagine waking up to golden sunlight streaming through your windows, stepping outside to a 1-acre permaculture garden designed by Food Forest Abundance and installed by Thriving Roots Design. Here, 40 fruit and nut trees flourish, wildflowers burst into color every spring, and the air hums with bees and butterflies.
Your outdoor paradise awaits:
? Modern pool with a shallow beach area, perfect for sunbathing and relaxing
? Hot tub under the stars for the ultimate unwind
? Stone raised-bed vegetable garden to grow your own produce
? Gated permaculture orchard, designed for beauty and sustainability
? Unforgettable sunrises—truly some of the best you'll ever witness
Step inside, and the home feels like a curated masterpiece. White oak wood floors, custom light fixtures, and architectural arched doorways create a warm yet refined atmosphere. Every detail, from the organic textures to the perfectly balanced mix of old and new, has been chosen with care. It’s effortlessly stylish, layered with character, and inviting in a way that feels both timeless and modern.
Beyond aesthetics, this home is designed for wellness and efficiency. Bedrooms are EMF-shielded and grounded by Dr. Carlos Ritter, creating a sleep sanctuary unlike any other. Energy-efficient upgrades include air-sealed ceilings, top plates, and attic hatches, R-38 cellulose insulation, custom UV shades, and new quiet Panasonic bathroom fans in all four bathrooms. Even the fireplace has an insulated plug to reduce energy loss.
Tucked off the road for ultimate privacy, you won’t hear or see your neighbors—just nature at its finest. This is luxury meets sustainability, where modern living blends seamlessly with the land. Are you ready to call this sanctuary home?
