One of a kind custom artisan retreat tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees on 2.5 private acres just outside of Wimberley. Every detail of this thoughtfully designed home was curated to create a unique living experience connected to nature and filled with character. As you enter the home you are welcomed by a dramatic 24 foot tower surrounded by windows that flood the space with natural light. An antique stained glass window casts changing colors throughout the day adding warmth and artistry to the entry experience. The stunning living room features soaring ceilings, exposed beams, expansive casement windows, and a custom stone fireplace mantel imported from Mexico. Over 100 year old long leaf pine flooring runs throughout the main living areas of the home while the custom built in bookshelves beside the fireplace are crafted from rare old growth long leaf pine. The bedrooms feature solid oak flooring.
Designed to embrace indoor outdoor living, the large casement pella windows open directly to the covered balcony while oversized eaves help naturally cool the home year round. The primary suite features a spa inspired bathroom with a greenhouse style area behind the soaking tub and shower complete with skylight and windows overlooking the surrounding trees. Step outside to a private Hill Country sanctuary complete with an incredible greenhouse, raised garden beds, terraced pathways, and a charming chicken house all separately fenced with 6 foot iron fencing. The property also features an approximately 16.5 x 40 workshop with water and 100 amp power along with an attached 20 x 40 covered carport ideal for a boat, travel trailer, or hobby space. Additional updates include a standing seam metal roof installed in 2025 along with fresh interior and front exterior paint completed in 2025. This property offers a lifestyle centered around gardening, entertaining, creating, and enjoying the beauty and tranquility that make Wimberley so special.
