Luxury w/Fire Pit-Amazing Views

Summary:

Uniquely constructed from gorgeous slabs of carved limestone, this tranquil Texas Hill Country estate sits on 4 remote, tree-covered acres. A rustic split-rail fence welcomes you to the home, and comfortable wood rocking chairs flank the front door. Sitting about 13 miles south of Fredericksburg in the wide-open countryside, Holt+ Gail Haus is the perfect home for those searching for authentic Texas adventure. Three bedrooms provide sleeping space for 10 people, so bring your whole crew.



The Space:

Once inside, the exposed limestone walls and wide plank floors add a distinct, memorable character to the entire home. The main living area includes plush, neutral sofas facing a custom entertainment center and a wet bar that’s ideal for serving cocktails and snacks. A worn leather saddle propped in the corner reminds you that you’re deep in the heart of horse country.



In the spacious, eat-in kitchen, simple white cabinets sit underneath open wood shelving that artistically displays the glassware and flatware. The kitchen design is minimalist and chic, with a refrigerator, microwave, and an electric range. The farmhouse dining table has seating for six, and french doors open wide to reveal the sun-kissed outdoor patio.



On the main floor, there are two luxurious primary bedroom suites. The first suite features a king-size bed, piled high with comfy pillows and fluffy blankets. This suite also includes two bedside tables with lamps and a modern ceiling fan. The spacious ensuite bathroom features a step-in shower and has room for a wood bench and a free-standing, full-length mirror. The second suite features a luxe Queen-size bed, reading lamps, a ceiling fan, and an attached bathroom with a shower and vanity.



Upstairs is the third, lofted bedroom space with an intricate ceiling and tons of natural Texas sunlight. This unique, flexible space includes three queen-size beds tucked underneath the eaves, as well as lots of different seating options, including a custom-built window seat. There’s also a door that leads out to a small patio with a picnic table and sweeping views of the surrounding land.



Back downstairs and outside through the french doors, a stone patio creates a lovely outdoor space to relax with a glass of wine underneath the sparkling stars. A wood pergola is strung with twinkle lights that illuminate the comfortable lounge seats. The entire area is anchored and warmed by the cozy stone fireplace— perfect for chilly Texas Hill Country nights and roasting s’ mores after dinner.



When you’re ready to explore the nearby area, the cafes and shops of downtown Fredericksburg are about a twenty-minute drive away. You’ll also want to visit the nearby vineyards for some wine tasting, saddle up at a local ranch for an afternoon of horseback riding, or simply take a hike through the gorgeous countryside. At Holt+Gail Haus, the possibilities are endless.
