One-of-a-kind, one-owner home thoughtfully nestled on 12 acres for unbelievable views and maximum seclusion. This custom-built home is a masterpiece of craftsmanship by local Salado architect, Darwin Britt. Built on a solid pier-and-beam foundation with historic reclaimed materials, this property is as unique as it is charming. Step through the grand double front doors – 75 to 100 years old and salvaged from an old Temple hardware store – into a grand space filled with character and warmth. On chilly winter nights, gather around the striking reclaimed brick fireplace, where you can still spot traces of a vintage Coca-Cola painting on some of the bricks. Soak in miles of views of the Temple skyline from the wall of picture windows or the spacious back deck, which wraps around a stately oak tree, offering shade and serenity on summer days. The scenic private drive, lined with majestic Texas post oaks, leads you past a natural pond to the home, which is set approximately 3 acres off the main road for ultimate privacy. A portion of the land could easily be cleared to expand lawn areas and uncover a picturesque stream that winds through the lower part of the property. This home truly must be seen to be fully appreciated. If you’re seeking a property that blends charm, beauty, character, and limitless potential, your search ends here.
