It is the tallest straw bale home in Texas, and architecturally unique. This romantic home is perfect for a romantic getaway.
It is designed to sleep two, however bedding may be added to sleep up to four.
Words cannot describe this incredible home built of straw bale construction. It has been featured on many home tours as well as the HGTV episode,"Straw with Style, Dream Builder Edition" and the cover of Natural Home Magazine.
There are two living areas with a viewing tower and deck on the third floor. Santa Fe style construction has stabilized earthen floors with hand set stones on the main floor, and pecan wood on the upper floors.
This home features a soaring entry and a corner stone fireplace in the great room. The covered porch has a wonderful view of the lake and corner fireplace with hand painted tiles.
