Property description

Nestled on 13.160 fully fenced acres, you will own both sides of the creek banks. The elegant custom home and carriage house are built above the 500-year flood plain with a design that follows Salado Creek's meandering course. Entry to the property is through a magnificent wrought iron gate and stunning courtyard shaded by the largest of eight mature live oaks. The main home is 6,968 SF with 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths and 2 half baths. It is entered through striking 24-foot entry wall of iron and glass to a magnificent grand foyer with 31-foot copper dome ceiling atop a sweeping quarter-sawn oak staircase. The stairs are accented by copper risers and a forged iron and copper handrail. The resplendent alabaster chandelier can be lowered to floor level. The dome's accent lighting rotates on a track for bulb changes. A 4-person elevator connects the home's second floor and two bedrooms with en suite baths and upper viewing terrace. A seasonal storage room houses a professionally decorated Christmas tree that can be lowered by the touch of a switch to the marble floor below. As the gold ceiling dome lowers the tree, a second midnight blue fills the void. Downstairs amenities include a spacious primary bedroom with 2 walk-in closets, private balcony, library, laundry room and gym overlooking the swimming pool and hot tub terraces. The bespoke French country kitchen with barrel clay ceiling is the heart of the home. Indulge in premium built-in appliances, oak cabinetry, 3 copper farmhouse sinks and range hood, 2 large islands, butler pantry, 2 walk-in pantries and a breakfast room. Formal dining, 4 living areas, an office with room-size vault, laundry room and 4 attached garages complete the first floor's ensemble. The main home's creek-side walls, terrace and outdoor spaces conform to the bluff's curves. Wrought iron railings separate the main terrace and a 40-foot drop to the creek, affording spectacular views of the manicured acreage beyond. A separate 3,118 SF carriage house offers 3 additional garages, workshop and full caretaker or guest accommodation with 2 bedrooms, laundry facilities, kitchenette and bathroom. The home is built from native limestone and has a durable concrete tile roof with copper flashing and an exterior spider be-gone system. A propane generator provides backup power for both buildings. Two gates and a stone wall secure the property from the public road. The interior acreage on the opposite side of the creek is ranch fenced, wooded, manicured and free of juniper. Both sides of the creek afford plenty of room for horses and accompanying facilities. The creek can be crossed either by stepping stone or a low-water crossing.
