Experience architectural brilliance by an award-winning Santa Fe, New Mexico architect in this captivating home boasting two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three cozy fireplaces (kivas) on 5.78 acres. Explore meditation trails cut throughout the property, offering tranquility and a serene escape in nature's embrace.

Nestled within 5.78 acres of scenic landscape, this Spanish-style home is a masterpiece, featuring distinct architectural elements such as Latillas ceilings made from materials harvested off the property and saltillo tile floors that contribute to its unique character. Renowned for its exceptional design and quality, the home's architectural features were showcased in the HBO film "Temple Grandin" in 2010, featuring Claire Danes.

The interior welcomes guests with a spacious living area adorned with two queen-sized pullout sleeper sofas, offering flexibility for accommodation. The living space seamlessly flows into the dining area, accented by a Kiva fireplace built-in, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. The fully equipped kitchen boasts modern stainless steel amenities, catering to culinary needs with style and convenience.

The master bedroom, adorned with its own Kiva fireplace, offers a regal king-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom complete with a spacious walk-in shower. The second bedroom features a comfortable queen-sized bed and a full bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for all guests.

Both courtyards provide tranquil spaces to unwind and immerse oneself in the serene natural surroundings. The property is meticulously designed with meditation trails cut throughout, hammocks swaying under the trees, picnic bench seating for moments of relaxation, and swings offering a nostalgic charm, creating an idyllic outdoor retreat. There is also a meditation cabin on the property offering a quiet sanctuary.

Situated in the heart of the Texas Hill Country entertainment zone, this property offers unparalleled access to a vibrant scene. Across the street from Vista Brewing and neighboring the Duchman Family Winery, guests are minutes to Trattoria Lisina Italian restaurant and four other esteemed Hill Country wineries. Additionally, nearby culinary delights await at Salt Lick Bar-B-Que and Hays City Store restaurant, providing a diverse array of dining experiences.
