About this home

Some properties simply cannot be recreated. Hidden behind a gated entrance on five breathtaking acres, this remarkable estate offers an opportunity rarely found—an extraordinary setting where timeless grandeur meets unlimited potential. The residence is tucked away from the road, creating a private retreat that feels worlds away while remaining only minutes from the charm, boutiques, dining, and vibrant atmosphere of downtown Buda. A winding approach leads to a circular drive framed by magnificent crepe myrtles and towering mature trees. The striking white stone and stucco exterior evokes the elegance of a European manor, making every arrival feel unforgettable. Inside, nearly 5,000 square feet showcase soaring ceilings, impressive architectural details, rich wood columns, a stunning staircase, statement chandelier, expansive gathering spaces, formal entertaining rooms, a dedicated office, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Upstairs, an oversized balcony overlooks the peaceful surroundings, while below a covered patio stretching approximately 70 feet creates an exceptional setting for outdoor living beside the refreshing in-ground pool. Guests will appreciate the detached garage apartment complete with a Murphy bed, offering flexibility for extended stays, multigenerational living, or private accommodations. Nature provides the soundtrack here. Step outdoors to birdsong, gentle breezes through the trees, and a level of tranquility seldom available so close to modern conveniences. While the interior awaits thoughtful renovation, the foundation is already extraordinary. Grand scale, unmatched privacy, an irreplaceable location, and distinctive craftsmanship combine to create a canvas worthy of a visionary. For the buyer who recognizes enduring quality and dreams of restoring a magnificent estate to its full brilliance, this is more than a home—it is a legacy waiting to be reimagined.
