Property Description
This rare single-story home offers 2,801 sq. ft., 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an oversized 2-car garage—but what makes it unforgettable is the artistry in every detail. Surrounded by Texas native plants, carefully engineered landscaping, and hidden features, this home feels like a private retreat designed for beauty, sustainability, and creativity.
The front garden is more than flowers. It invites hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. A dry creek bed, rock bridge, turf walkways, and a bronze horse create a living work of art—all with no mowing, no chemicals, and minimal water.
In back, a shady retreat centers on a 6-foot Haddonstone fountain with handmade tile surround by artist Diane Holycross. A trompe l'oeil mural with mirrors expands the view, while terraced rock work and bronze herons add whimsy.
Hydraulic design channels rainwater into cascading creek beds built with Pedernales boulders and Rain Forest river rock. Paver-set driveways and walkways complete the eco-friendly design.
Inside, red oak floors carry the eye through three sets of French doors to a Cumaru deck of matching color. Abundant windows and artful lighting bathe the home in warmth and natural radiance.
The study doubles as a guest suite with a granite-top desk, queen-size Murphy bed, and bookcases that open into a hidden closet. Throughout, storage is generous, beautifully designed, and seamlessly integrated.
The expansive kitchen offers ceiling-high cabinets, granite counters at multiple heights, pull-out shelving, and two hidden appliance garages—perfect for cooking and entertaining.
From rosemary lining the paver path to the chemical-free air and careful sound design, this home delights the senses. Even the garage invites creativity, with workspace for tool chests, benches, or easels—ideal for a mechanic, gardener, or artist.
This property isn't just a home—it's a rare experience of art, engineering, and nature in perfect harmony.
