LOCATION

THE HOMESTEAD
Built in 1881 and completely renovated in 2018, this historic Victorian farmhouse has stood through generations of Texas history. Once a boarding house during the Great Depression and home to both the president of the Paint Horse Association and one of the largest harness makers of WWI, it even survived the 1906 tornado that left much of the town in ruins.
Today, the residence seamlessly blends timeless character with modern comfort, offering approximately 2,900± square feet with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living areas, and a bonus room. The home features new windows and flooring (2024), a tankless water heater, spray-foam insulation, and two septic systems. Expansive wrap-around porches with a classic porch swing invite you to relax and take in the wide-open hilltop views. Every detail honors the property’s heritage while ensuring efficiency and comfort for modern living.
