A 58 acre Hill Country Ranch and Chateau awaits you! This Stone Farmhouse, designed by visionary architect Scott Carson of Cosan Studio, unfolds like a storybook. Designed of interconnected structures, the home gives the illusion that each building matured organically centuries ago. The Texas quarried limestone walls, concrete floors & occasional plaster walls make a backdrop for carefully selected and placed antique lights, doors & architectural details. The inside welcomes you w/ high ceilings, exposed beams & a massive limestone fireplace. Antique French glass doors adjoin the spacious dining room to the family room as natural light from every direction highlights breathtaking views across the back porch & pool down to the valley into Fredericksburg. The kitchen holds a blend of old & new, like a 19th century Italian shop counter as the island, 6-burner Wolf range positioned under an antique French fireback, stand-alone Subzero refrigerator/freezer & farmhouse sink with old copper pots hanging from a hand-made pot rack over a 17th century stone vegetable sink. The wine room displays an antique French cast iron down spout as a sink resting gently on an antique French wooden workbench with modern steel shelves, making quite the statement. Nestled into the stone walls is a French 17th century wine rack, the first purchase for the home. The groin and barrel ceilings of the gallery showcase artwork from local artists and hang on exemplified 24 inch thick walls, keeping the house cool and insulated. Plenty of storage can be found in the Butler's pantry offering gorgeous cement tile flooring and an extra dishwasher and farm sink. Continue through the Butler's pantry to a quaint office/reading area that overlooks the courtyard. The master suite and master bath include exposed concrete floors, plaster walls, groin vault ceiling, gorgeous soaker tub, marble walk-thru shower w/ antique sconces. The private porch offers another way to enjoy the morning air & scenic views. The guest wing includes concrete floors, limestone walls, painted beams & antique touches. The guest rooms include their own private baths & feature a shared sitting area with access to a private porch opening to a courtyard. Across the courtyard is a unique guest tower w/ (1) bedroom & a separate sleeping loft above. The tower would make a great home/office flex space, workout room or playhouse for the kids. Just off the family/dining area is a spacious back porch equipped with a wood burning pizza oven & separate stone wood burning fireplace. All of this overlooking an inviting pool & patio area with a built-in gas fire pit & seating area under inviting shade trees.
