Property Description
The entire interior was gutted and reimagined with new framing, insulation, and drywall. The electrical and plumbing systems were completely overhauled, elevating the home to modern standards. A new HVAC system was installed on the second floor, and spacious new rooms were created. The original rear porch was converted into inviting living space, and a new covered porch was added, offering the perfect retreat. The heart of the home—the kitchen—was relocated and beautifully rebuilt in 2021, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, new cabinets, and elegant granite countertops. The second floor was enhanced with two luxurious bedrooms, two spa-like bathrooms, and a grand second living room. The roof was painted, chimneys rebuilt, and windows replaced for energy efficiency. The original first-floor bathroom was expanded, and the home was freshly painted inside and out.
For equestrian enthusiasts, a riding ring and footing were added, along with two run-ins and a round riding pen. The yard was regraded and reseeded, while the parking area was expanded for ease of guest access. New gutters and downspouts were installed, as well as mini-split systems for year-round comfort. The heating system was replaced, and wide base moldings were added throughout. A new poplar board fence offers privacy and elegance. The estate continued to evolve with an open-concept kitchen and family room, five meticulously designed paddocks, and an updated back porch with new pine flooring. A UV filter and whole-house dehumidifier were added, improving air quality. A large freezer provides ample storage, and new gutter guards were installed. The main bedroom was enhanced with custom barn doors, offering rustic charm. New carpeting and insulation were added for a serene retreat. The back entry was reimagined with new framing and insulation. The Eco Flow solar battery backup system ensures energy independence by generating 7,200 watts of power, while a new 200-amp breaker box ensures safety and efficiency.
The barn was fully gutted and restored in 2023, with new poplar barn doors, repaired posts, a repainted roof, and a cleared lower level for future use. The stone foundation was repointed, and netting was installed to protect against birds and bees. Water diversion features were enhanced for long-term preservation. The estate's landscape has been carefully curated with roses, lilacs, crepe myrtle, magnolia trees, dogwoods, 20 evergreens, and weeping willows, creating a secluded paradise. Two wells are on the property, along with Hays Creek flowing beneath the historic bank barn, and multiple springs providing abundant water sources. This exceptional estate offers a rare combination of modern luxury, equestrian facilities, and stunning landscaping, making it the perfect sanctuary for those seeking both elegance and functionality.
