The focal point of this home is the amazing kitchen. The Cypress cabinets and mesquite countertops were handmade by a local artisan who is renown for his woodwork. They are a masterpiece. The wood-burning fireplace was assembled with rock from the property and stands stately in the corner of the living room so as not to obstruct the amazing hill country views. This is truly a home to enjoy indoors and out. The property is divided into numerous pastures. The owners have horses and there is a round pen and sand arena, plus covered sheds in 3 paddocks for shelter.
