Description
As you drive down the driveway, you are transformed to a time past where travelers stopped and picnicked by the Cypress Creek while allowing horses to graze and rest in the Pecan Bottom before continuing their journey. This property holds a historic marker with the National Register of Historic Places. Built in 1874, it has been a Stagecoach Inn, a Post Office, General Store, and a Blacksmith Shop. The home and the livery stable have 18 thick limestone walls giving to a natural insulation from the summer heat. The livery stable has 4 stalls on a concrete floor, with an amazing enclosed upstairs room perfect for a venue. The 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is 2900 sq feet with 3 fireplaces as was customary in the 1800s. The historical integrity has been kept while updating some things for comfort, including a new septic system, 2 full baths, new plumbing, electric, ductless units, paint, stalls, fencing, and gates. Whether you want a weekend getaway, a peaceful homestead, or a venue, this property is a Texas historical dream. In 1857 the post office was established and the town was named Round Mountain where this stage stop and mail route between Austin and Fredericksburg began
