A wood rail post fence and crushed limestone drive lead to the custom home and multiple outbuildings. The centerpiece of the property is a 2,400 sq. ft. home, constructed in 2015, designed for entertaining. Enter through wooden double doors to find expansive rooms, two bedrooms, two baths, and an office. The home features custom wood accents and tile finishes that evoke the charm of Taos, New Mexico. The spacious living room with a coffered ceiling includes multiple seating areas, a wet bar, a wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter and electric plugs in the floor. The kitchen with a coffered ceiling offers custom cabinets, an oversized island, a freestanding gas range with double ovens, a large walk-in pantry, and an adjacent dining area with built-in cabinets. The primary bedroom ensuite has built in cabinets, two walk-in closets, two sinks in the bathroom, a walk-in shower, and a heated towel rack. The utility room, located off the kitchen, includes a washer, dryer, and built-in cabinets.

The exterior of the home features native San Saba sandstone and a standing seam metal roof.

The front yard is landscaped with Tifway 419 Bermuda grass and various plants, fenced with pipe and panels, and lined with rose bushes. A flagstone sidewalk leads to the front porch, with flagstone borders accenting the landscaping. A crushed granite path leads to another gate, attracting birds and butterflies. The porch features eclectic patio furniture vignettes, adding a Round Top, Texas charm. The artistic owner's style is evident throughout the home and outbuildings.
