901 Court Street , Fort Davis, TX 79734(Jeff Davis County)

Today the Grierson House has been completely renovated for modern living, but the two bedrooms, two and one half baths, 2900 sq.ft home retains the Art and Craft charm of its original construction. This home is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. Period architectural details abound including 12-foot ceilings, encased hardwood doors and windows, hardwood floors, rustic fireplace, built-in closets, shelves and cabinets.

Updates to the home include central heat/ac, replaced plumbing and electric, new roof, a large, fully remodeled kitchen, custom cabinets and countertops and laundry area, enclosed sun porch and back deck. The bathrooms have elegant, "old style" bathtubs and fixtures. There are two bedrooms in the home, one a master suite with a full bath, and a second, guest bedroom with bath.

The exterior stone walls, constructed in 1903, are of locally quarried stone, the same stone used in the officer quarters at the fort thirty years before. The house echo the solid appearance of the Fort Davis officer quarters of the 1880s, Harry Griersons family home. It sits on 2.3 acre lot almost at the foot of Sleeping Lion Mountain with views of unusual rock formations and the open vistas beyond. Even though it is located in the town of Fort Davis, the home has the quiet and secluded feel of the country. Good neighbors are close by, but not too close. The windmill, water storage tank, and carriage house still stand on the property.

Although not a typical King Land & Water listing, the "Grierson House" is a valuable and unique property that we strongly feel qualifies within our conservation mission statement. If you have ever dreamed of owning a historic, beautiful home, consider the possibilities of this property.
