1310' RIVER FRONTAGE!! Cindy Prater (325-372-7001) with Gene Stewart Real Estate in San Saba would be pleased to show you this stunning country estate worthy of being featured in a country living magazine. The all-electric home was custom designed using wood, stone and glass to give the home great indoor/outdoor livability. Standing seam galvalume roof, Andersen Brand windows and doors, and maximum insulation assure energy efficiency. Walls of full length windows, vaulted multi-level ceilings with exposed beams, beautiful stained concrete and inlaid wood engineered flooring result in a very pleasant open-air, light-filled home with unobstructed views of the surrounding land. The living area features a wood burning fireplace flanked by bookshelves and windows on three sides and is separated from the kitchen by a dining bar. The kitchen boasts beautiful easy-care Silestone countertops, plenty of storage, built in appliances, RO system, and much more. The large dining area flanks the kitchen with another door to the veranda. A combination laundry room/butler’s pantry adds more storage and counter space, wet sink and room for an extra refrigerator or freezer. A cozy sun porch has a door leading to a private garden nestled between the house and a cut-away side of a hill and surrounded by 8’ tall pipe and welded wire fence. A quaint 8x8 garden shed built like a log cabin of railroad bridge ties has a stained glass gable end and interesting antique salvaged window and no-fuss gravel floor. The growing beds in the garden are raised with gravel paths between for easier tending to the herbs, vegetables and flowers. A deck between the house and garden also connects to the “car barn”—a garage with oversized sliding barn-style doors that can be opened to double as a party barn when extra room is needed for outdoor entertaining. A 25’x40’ metal shop building has an additional covered parking area of 25’ x 27’ The shop is built on a concrete slab, insulated and sheet rocked with plenty of power to run shop equipment and heated and cooled with a window unit. Perched on the high bank above the river is the “Chicken Palace”—the fanciest chicken house ever built! It measures 16’x26’ on a concrete slab and has 2 rooms and a covered front and rear porch. The inside walls are CDX plywood; the outside is sheet metal. No insulation was used so if it was ever flooded, the water could drain away with minimal damage. The chicken room has a ventilation door, an upper ventilation window and a really short door for the chickens. The other room is fitted out as a kitchen and handy for processing meat, fish and garden vegetables. A large area in front of the Chicken Palace has been high-fenced to keep deer and other wild critters out of the most wonderful garden spot ever if you have an appreciation for great dirt for growing things. The Palace has been fitted out with gutters and a water collection system. A water well provides water to the house that the owner believes to be about 45’ deep and sustains production at 18 gpm. As a back-up plan, a sophisticated water purification system was installed that can utilize water from the river for house use. The septic system at the house was designed to accommodate 12 people. The land around the home is a beautiful green sweep of grass under hundreds of mostly pecan trees but also mesquite, elm and wild plums and is frequently visited by deer, wild turkeys, and all sorts of birds and other native wildlife. The property is perimeter fenced along the county road and bounded on one side by the ever-flowing spring fed San Saba River. The river is a great place to enjoy fishing, swimming, kayaking and canoeing. DO NOT ENTER PROPERTY WITHOUT LISTING AGENT PRESENT.
