Surrounded by majestic oak trees and sweeping hill country views, the rustic yet whimsical farmhouse offers 4 beds, 4 baths, and multiple living spaces designed for gathering and relaxation. The 2017 addition provides flex space for a 5th bedroom if desired. A large kitchen with ample storage opens seamlessly into the heart of the home, while four expansive decks invite you to enjoy sunrise coffee, evening sunsets, and the peaceful sounds of nature. The grounds are equally impressive featuring a sparkling pool with hot tub and fastlane swimjet,  a 30,000 gallon rainwater collection system, and a garage/storehouse, all arranged to support a tranquil country lifestyle.
