9774 Rocky Rd. , Bellville, TX 77418(Austin County)

You'll love this darling, one-and-a-half-story house, built in the early 1900s, which has lots of windows, and three porches, to take in the tranquil views of the pond, pastures, and surrounding rolling hills. The almost century-old home (originally built by a master carpenter from Germany) has been updated with all the modern amenities while leaving the vintage character intact. The home has the original long-pine flooring, shiplap walls, bead-board ceilings and wainscoting, high ceilings and windows. Exterior of home has the original dollhouse washboard wood siding, which has an overlay of vinyl siding for ease of maintenance.

The living room features a 9-foot-tall antique carved-wood fireplace mantle with 12-foot-long, Old-Chicago-brick hearth seating. The farm-style kitchen is spacious enough for several cooks and family gatherings.

Additionally, downstairs there are two large bedrooms, a spacious dining room, a sun room and a full bath. (Several antique furniture pieces, including two massive armoires and a drop-leaf farm-kitchen-table/island will remain with the house.) Upstairs features a large open-concept Western-style-bunkhouse, with alcoves, which sleeps up to five, and includes a sitting area and bathroom.

Board fencing surrounds the large yard, which is heavily shaded with several huge pecan trees in the backyard. The property has improved pastures and densely-wooded wet-weather creeks bordering each side of the ranch. The pre-Civil-War-era barn with a concrete floor, two open lofts, and an attached pavilion is perfect for rustic country-style entertaining. The property also has several 100-year-old wooden buildings that could be restored to their original charm.

The back of the property also has an additional home building site, with an existing water well, on a high hill with a 360 degree, approximate 20-mile panoramic view.

Rocky Creek Ranch is located on a few minutes from Brenham, with easy access to shopping, schools and medical facilities. Come and view this beautiful property and get a feel for the relaxed and tranquil lifestyle it provides, even if its only for your weekend enjoyment. (Short commute from Houston and Austin)
