Classic Craftsman Style home with many of the original features, but also with many improvements, currently on the market.  The home itself is a well built two story structure with basement large enough to be a storm cellar for emergencies as well as a “root” cellar for canned goods.  There is also an attic space with a cedar closet….they knew what was important in those days.  The home has CH/CA with new units installed in 2012, a composition roof just replaced in 2016, and new water heaters installed in 2013.  The original hardwood floors have been refinished and look great!

A nice guest house is available for over flow if need be.  It is a one bedroom, one bath, with small kitchen. There is also an enclosed porch/sunroom attached.  Follow the yellow brick road….or sidewalk and you will come to the original carriage house.  Currently used for storage, it does have space for one vehicle with an automatic garage door opener.

The kitchen in this home has been completely redone.   Stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, under cabinet lighting, gas cook top, double ovens, deep double sink and garbage disposal.  It has hardwood floors, new lighting fixtures, a walk in pantry AND a butler’s pantry.  How awesome is that.  Because no one wants to be stuck in the kitchen by them self, part of the remodel was to knock out some wall.  Now there is a clear view to the den and everyone can enjoy themselves.

The den is the only room in the house with carpeting.  It is a very inviting room with its own wood burning fireplace, built in book shelves, and under the stair cozy area for the little ones.  Beautiful beaded glass windows allow you to look out over the backyard area just in case you have little ones to keep track of.  Did I mention the loft that overlooks the den? Yep, there is one.

The master bedroom is quite large. Hardwood flooring, ceiling fan, walk in closet, and his and her bathrooms!  If you prefer a shower, it’s available! If  you prefer a bath….do we have the experience for you!   A clawfoot  bathtub!  White marble floors, and what every woman longs for, a vanity with a large mirror and chair to sit down while applying makeup.

The point of buying a beautiful Craftsman Home built in 1911 is to enjoy the magnificent woodworking throughout the home, the chandeliers original to this home, the music/library room (currently a home office).   Although this home has been updated, it retains much of the grandeur of the era.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one which boasts a screened porch accessed through French doors.  All three have large closets and parquet flooring.  Two of the three have stained glass windows.   There is also a full bath upstairs for convenience.

This home is special in so many ways.  The grounds are surrounded by the original rock wall fencing.  It has a beautiful covered gazebo big enough for your patio furniture & grill.  A huge Live Oak tree as well as crepe myrtles thrive in the manicured landscape that surrounds this property.  The home is listed at $265,000.00.  Please give us a call at 325 456-4991 to set up an appointment.

House and 85 Acres in McCulloch County

Posted on: March 15th, 2017 by Mike Barbour

This custom country home sits atop a ridge with miles of unspoiled views. The property has 180 feet of elevation change! The house is a very comfortable, well-appointed 2 story home with separate living and bedroom areas.

The kitchen in this home is a smart womans dream. All appliances are stainless steel Kitchen-aid. There is a built in convection micro-wave, regular convection oven and warmer drawer under that. A four burner gas cook-top with griddle and vent-a-hood are located right beneath the bar so the chef is never left out of the conversation! Silestone counter-tops, granite composite double sink, roll-out drawers, R O system, water softener and my favoritea window over the sink!

This is a well built, low maintenance home. Winter electric bills are less than $60.00 and summer is less than $160.00.  It is on a slab foundation, framed with red iron, 2 x 6 beams, and metal roof. This makes for a rock solid, homogeneous building.  The walls have 6 of blown in insulation that seals all potential air leaks while the ceiling has 12 of blown insulation. All wood has been treated with fire and  retardant. The concrete beams of this home are on solid bedrock.

Upstairs off the great room is a 40 x 20 composite deck, so it is low maintenance! A perfect place to set up a grill, and if you prefer, a gas grill. There is a hook-up already there for you. With its own HVAC unit, the upstairs is an open floor plan. Think lodge style living. Arrange your furniture however you wish. Make it all bedroom, separate it into living room/bedroom. Whatever works for you is the plan! A full bath, a large walk-in closet, a kitchen sink, range connections, and a wood burning stove are what you will find upstairs.  Gorgeous maple wood flooring, interior walls of 100 year old long leaf pine from old barnwood, vinyl double paned windows, ceiling fans, everything you need to be comfy and cozy.  Walk out the door and find the view spectacular enough to grace a calendar.

Every country home needs a workshop.  This home has a 30 x 40 shop attached to the home.  Use it as a garage, a workshop or both.  There are four 12 foot roll up doors, cement floors, it is insulated and has a stainless steel sink as is necessary in any good workshop.

Around the home is a great garden area, (with game fence to protect the garden) and a recreational area.  Landscaping around the home consists of an herb garden and a vegetable garden. A small greenhouse is a big advantage when winter rolls in. The front yard has a sprinkler system, while drip irrigation is installed in other places. Some fruit trees have been planted including peach, pear & plum. There are gutters with downspouts for the purpose of rainwater harvesting.

A Bosch tankless water heater is energy efficient and practical. To convey with the sale are all the kitchen appliances. Window coverings are plantation blinds which will convey. Water is provided by Richland Springs Water District. Almost all fencing is less than 7 years old and is in very good condition.

This country estate is well set up for recreation and for hunting. This acreage is well wooded with live oak, mesquite, and post oak. It also has native brush, including lots of quality deer browse such as Mexican buckeye and shin oak. A good stock tank that holds water like a jug is stocked with catfish, perch and minnows. So you have deer hunting, bird hunting, and fishing all on one place. And this is a very gamey area, with turkeys, waterfowl, dove, deer, and many other wildlife species to be watched from the deck high above the ranchland below.

435 Acres with Lodge near Fife, Texas in McCulloch County

Posted on: March 15th, 2017 by Mike Barbour

This ranch is 18 miles north of Brady, with paved access. McCulloch County is known in the Texas Hill Country for hunting and recreation.

The ranch terrain is gently sloping. The appearance is varied; part of the ranch has heavy brush cover similar to South Texas. There are nice live oaks among the bee brush and mesquites. It also has cultivated fields that are typically planted to wheat. The wheat provides some income and is a great attractant for deer.

A nice lodge was built on the ranch in 2009. It is an attractive building, solidly built and it is a very low maintenance structure. It has a masonry exterior with a metal roof.

The interior is well done with solid wood ceiling in the great room, a 9 foot island in the kitchen, and a jet tub in one of the baths. One side of the house has a 45 foot long porch, and there are large covered areas on each end of the lodge for outdoor cooking, recreation, or for vehicles. These are approximately 40 feet by 32 feet.

The house is supplied with rural community water. Water for the wildlife or livestock is supplied by 2 stock tanks or ponds on the place.

Whitetail deer, dove, turkey and varmints are abundant here.

The owner may include a portion of the minerals with an acceptable offer.

Price. $2700 per acre.

Comments. This ranch has all the features needed for a hunting ranch or a family recreational ranch. It is also a good tangible investment as a hedge against uncertain markets. Principals only please.
