Crafted rather than assembled, this secluded Salado property reflects the vision, workmanship, and care of owners whose attention to detail is evident throughout. Set behind a gated entrance on over 8.7 acres in Salado ISD, the main residence showcases handcrafted beams, a full limestone exterior, custom Durango metal doors, sealed travertine flooring, and cabinetry and built-ins individually constructed by the owner-builder. The kitchen combines generous workspace with premium KitchenAid appliances, oversized refrigeration, double ovens, a 6-burner gas cooktop, and a walk-in pantry. Featuring a custom saltwater pool with beach entry and waterfalls, tiled spa shaded by a palapa, outdoor kitchen and covered patios, full bathroom, and stone-walled green space, the resort-like outdoor living space serves as the centerpiece of the property – designed to bring everyone together. Beyond the main home, the property's versatility is highlighted by a fully equipped one-bedroom guest quarters, along with a 4,000+/- square-foot workshop featuring expansive storage areas, a kitchenette, full bath, and studio apartment. More than 500 trees, a spring-fed pond, and a separate storage building with dedicated motorhome and boat bays complete the setting, creating a place that feels like its own private world.
