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. Importantly, the house and majority of the property are situated on high ground and are not at risk of flooding, offering both peace of mind and long-term security. 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.
