The interior of this Texas ranch house consists of a maintenance-free shell of stained pine floors, ceilings and walls. No sheetrock or paint was used. The original floorplan was zoned into adults on one side of the home, children on the other, with common areas in the middle. The home is two story with soaring ceilings and airy spaces, rooms flow into one another without the use of traditional hallways. By orienting the home on an east-west axis each living space was supplied with north and south windows for maximum cross-ventilation. A double fireplace with free-standing chimney warms two opposing rooms equally, living and dining, and contributes to the wintertime energy efficiency. The floorplan offers four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a formal dining room that flows outside to a covered entertaining porch, a relaxing living room and a cozy kitchen/family room with its own woodburning fireplace.

The exterior of the home is of vertical cedar planks reminiscent of old-West architecture. Porches face north, south and west allowing enjoyment of the outdoors from all directions. A large 4+ car garage/shop offers plenty of workspace and storage. Several ponds are waiting, ready to fish. The home is somewhat centered within the 122 acres for maximum privacy.

Truly difficult to describe in words this property needs to be seen to be appreciated. As stated by architectural judges praising the design in 1981; “Straightforward … very intelligent, it’s what Texas architecture ought to be about...” More photos available by clicking the tour link above.
