Description

Don Draper lives here! Locally known as "Town & Country," these two houses on 2.02 hilltop acres are the rare Texas Hill Country find! The "Town" home by architect Milton A. Ryan - a Frank Lloyd Wright protege and Texas AIA of 1947 - highlights this gorgeous natural hilltop setting. With the hallmarks of a mid-century masterpiece, this one-bedroom pad features floor-to-ceiling glass walls, all cherry wood panels, solid cherry custom cabinets, Venetian glass throughout, a pool transplanted right out of Palm Springs, and a wood-burning fireplace set into a glass wall! View your small vineyard, gardens, and valley through updated, energy-efficient, custom-made aluminum sliding glass doors, and casement windows. The "Country" home, built in 1992 and enclosed in the gated part of the property, is out of the sightline of the Town home, and shares the same luxury and sensitive design features found throughout the property. This one-bedroom cabin of solid knotty cedar paneling and hardwood parquet flooring has been a 'rare find' on Airbnb for seven years with an annual $47k earnings. Becoming a host is extremely easy, or just use the Cabin as a mother-in-law or guest cottage. Both homes include plenty of outdoor spaces for entertaining or relaxing in your own Texas Chill-country, with private porches and covered patios, and a porch swing! It's a treat for the eyes to wander the landscaped gardens, stone paths, koi ponds, and terraces to find more unique features: - a professional artist's workshop with butcher block countertops the Milton A. Ryan two-car carport - a Bocce court - a working greenhouse and outdoor storage with barn doors - raised-bed gardens, a wine-producing vineyard, fruit trees, and a chicken coop! All systems are regularly and professionally maintained, including the 3 water heaters, 2 A/C units, and the aerobic septic system and Terminix. A new pool pump was installed in October of 2022. The Country cabin A/C unit was replaced in 2021. The site is rich in history but primed for the future as the City of Grey Forest code allows for additional home construction on the included land and up to 6 short-term rental guests. Currently, only 2 guests make up the annual Airbnb $47k revenue. Authentic mid-century indoor and outdoor furniture can be made available upon offer and in addition to the property sale.
