For most of us, our dream is to find a place surrounded by nature, isolated and beautiful.  What we seek is a place that allows us to indulge in our dreams for a while, to find a momentary solitude that fortifies the spirit and rejuvenates our energies.  Such a place lies on 25.967+/- acres in Washington County, only a short drive west of Houston. 

From a distant view, the anticipation of reaching this magnificent hilltop home is overwhelming.  Winding up the steep hilltop on the red gravel road one sees in the distant view, the American flag proudly waving in the breeze from the wide-welcoming front porch.  Large rocking chairs grace the porch overlooking miles and miles of the rolling lush countryside from this 440+ ft. elevation. 

The timeless 1986, five bedroom, four bath, two-story farmhouse style home was designed by renowned Houston architect, Barry Moore.  It was carefully positioned on the hilltop to catch the prevailing southern breezes.  It is indefinable quality endowed with comfort and a captivating view. 

Upon opening the large stately double doors, the unexpected comes into view…bold expanses of windows filling the interior with mood and colors of the world outside.  Light enters the home exactly as it enters the day…easily and gradually.  Features include glistening hardwood flooring, transoms, high ceilings with beams in the living room and kitchen, crown molding, master bedroom and one guest room down along with two full baths and three bedrooms upstairs.  A cozy study banked with floor to ceiling bookcases on two walls is located between the two downstairs bedrooms.  The kitchen features an indoor Jenn Air grill & oven, warming drawer and large island with spacious storage.  The generous utility room has washer and dryer connections, a sink and room for a refrigerator. 

Interiors aside, the secret to country living is out the back door.  Enjoy evening sunsets on the back covered deck overlooking the swimming pool.  Additional amenities include a shuffleboard court, gazebo and two car garage. 

If you yearn to live surrounded by nature’s bounty…the stirring presence of wildlife…the warmth of caring neighbors…then welcome to this exceptional home in the country.   #4  $1,225,000
