245 Country

Set on 10 private acres in McDade — with an additional adjoining 20 acres available for purchase — this architecturally distinctive home offers a level of character and privacy rarely found within an hour of Austin. Designed for those craving space, light, and a slower pace without sacrificing style, the home feels more like a private retreat than a traditional country property. The signature round turret immediately sets the tone, while inside, polished concrete floors, a floor-to-ceiling whitewashed stone fireplace, and expansive windows create an atmosphere that feels both elevated and deeply inviting. The fully renovated kitchen blends warmth and design with navy cabinetry, brass hardware, butcher block countertops, open shelving, a farmhouse sink, and a statement range hood. The open-concept layout flows effortlessly between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces — ideal for entertaining, quiet mornings, or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape from nearly every room. The main-level primary suite offers peaceful pasture views and a beautifully updated en suite bath with a soaking tub, antique vanity, floral vessel sink, arched mirror, and gold fixtures. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath surround the home's most memorable space: the turret room. Framed by curved walls, porthole windows, botanical wallpaper, custom wainscoting, and chandelier lighting, it functions beautifully as a bedroom, studio, office, or creative retreat. Outside, open pasture and panoramic sky views create a sense of calm and privacy that's increasingly difficult to find near Austin. A new front deck and pergola added in 2025 extend the living space outdoors, while a barn, pipe-fenced corral, private well with filtration and softener system, and current agricultural valuation add practicality to the property's lifestyle appeal. Bordering Rancho Del Lago, one of the nation's premier Andalusian breeding farms, the surrounding landscape remains peaceful and protected.
