About this home
Enchanting Fredericksburg Estate with Historic Charm and Short-Term Rental Potential in an idyllic setting in one of the hottest spots in the nation.
Located in the serene valley of historic Fredericksburg, Texas, this captivating 10.26-acre property tells the story of perseverance, craftsmanship, and the American dream. A testament to the hard-working German immigrants who sought a better life in the Hill Country, this farmhouse estate offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and modern convenience, making it a perfect sanctuary for those seeking tranquility or an opportunity to host guests, comfortably sleeping 12.
Main Residence: A Symphony of Rustic Elegance and Historical Reverence
The heart of the main residence is its expansive kitchen, a masterpiece combining old-world charm with modern functionality. Centered around a majestic raised hearth fireplace, reminiscent of ancestral cooking fireplaces, the kitchen boasts a vast 6x10 feet island crafted from antique store fixtures. This space is not only a culinary dream but also a homage to the past, with its poured concrete countertops, vintage and custom-made cabinets, and a grand antique window that bathes the room in natural light.
As you ascend to the second floor, reclaimed lumber and crackled paint finishes create an ambiance that whispers tales from centuries past. Vast windows offering breathtaking valley views complement the home throughout. Modern amenities include a double vanity bath, multiple roomy walk-in closets, hidden storage treasures, and laundry facilities surround the main upstairs room.
The entry and back of the home have roomy foyers to greet guests as they come and go.
Downstairs adjoining the primary bedroom to the main living and dining area rests a picturesque breezeway that looks out onto the large stone and brick patio with fireplace visible from the kitchen.
The oversized primary bedroom wing exudes a cozy yet luxurious feel, with timber joists and a masculine fireplace adding warmth to the space. A large copper soaking tub, dual copper-top vanities, and a spacious limestone tile shower in the bathroom invite relaxation, while the antique brick patio and landscaped yard with a winding path to the garden area highlight the property's outdoor living potential. A large private walk-in closet and utility room are reserved in this gorgeous respite.
The combined open living and dining area's vaulted ceiling and antique Early American furniture are the perfect gathering spot. The seamless integration of salvaged wide pine flooring and access to a patio with an outdoor fireplace encapsulates the essence of outdoor living.
Historic Guesthouses: A Glimpse into the 1800s
- 1853 German Rock House: This two-bedroom, one-bath gem features a large living room, a cozy kitchen and dining space, and a jetted tub in the bathroom. The restoration process unveiled the stunning interior stone walls, adding a touch of authenticity and character.
- 1846 Cottage: One of Gillespie County's oldest structures, offering 1 bed/1 bath, a complete kitchen, and a unique barrel-vaulted stone ceiling cellar. This cottage embodies the essence of historical preservation and charm.
Barn and Natural Splendor:
A 2 story stone and frame barn, garden shed, and additional structure await their next chapters. A wet weather spring feeding two ponds stocked with fish, ancient oak trees, native flora, and an array of wildlife, from deer to wild turkeys, enrich the landscape, offering a picturesque setting that captures the essence of Texas Hill Country.
The Legacy and Opportunity:
This property is not just a home; it's a piece of Texas history revived with over 20 years of dedication. Its potential as an Airbnb destination, coupled with the tranquility of its setting and the richness of its history, makes it a rare find. Just a fi-minute drive from the vibrant Main Street of Fredericksburg, it offers the perfect escape into nature without sacrificing convenience
