Perched atop a scenic hill just 8 miles from Round Top, this retreat spans 11 acres of wide-open space and fresh air. Unwind under a majestic 100-year-old oak tree, soak in breathtaking sunset views, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

This newly renovated property features two distinct homes: a 2B/2B stone-built main house and a fully equipped 1B/1B guest house, each with its own large south-facing deck for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or stargazing.

The space
Designed with intention and a sense of ease, both homes offer light-drenched interiors, curated details, and plenty of room to gather or spread out. Handmade textiles, natural materials, and layered lighting give each space its own personality, while still feeling connected. Whether you’re hosting a dinner, curling up with a book, or watching the sky shift through every window, this hilltop escape invites you to slow down, settle in, and stay awhile.

Note: The listing includes 6% state & 7% local lodging tax.

My work: nonprofit management
I’ve been traveling all my life, first packed into a car with my big family, now with my own. I love finding any excuse for an adventure, especially the kind that brings people together. Whether it’s an incredible meal, a good laugh, or a new place to explore, I’m all in.
