Property Description

Custom home by architect Gary Brim & Associates, constructed by Burnette Builders, both local firms specializing in Texas Hill Country style, for sale for the first time since its completion in 2006. Gated on 85 acres, with a detached guest house. The single story home features 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms plus a dedicated office, 2 living rooms, and the primary suite has a Rumford fireplace, dual closets, and bonus room for fitness or nursery. Interior design and finishes directed by Julie Evans, JEI Design Inc. with premium appliances and fixtures throughout. The European-inspired pool is a heated 40 ft long infinity pool with spa, complimented by a cabana with La Cantina accordion doors, full bath, living/game room, and observatory. Approximately 850 sq ft of covered stone patios in the front and back of the house and a firepit provide many areas to gather around and dine al fresco. The stone used in the construction of the home is native to the property offering a unique sense of place and belonging. The original home now functions as a detached guest house with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and exudes rustic charm; it has been used as a short-term rental for supplemental income and has its own private pool. Experience extreme privacy and quiet surrounded by 100+ year old oak trees. The property is large enough for farm animals, gardening, and hunting, and is currently home to a herd of longhorns which is negotiable if the buyer would like to keep them in place. Note that the property benefits from an agricultural tax exemption, which substantially lowers the “actual tax” below the “estimated tax without exemptions.” Some key benefits include no HOA, two gated points of access, cattle guards, perimeter fence, 2 wells, rainwater collection, buried electricity with surge protection, and a backup generator. Located within 9 miles of Wimberley town square, and 32 miles to Austin. Convenient to ABIA and SAIA.
