Details

Inspired by the minimalism of West Texas and modernist barns of Calistoga, the Albert House is a luxury bunkhouse, with an unhurried aesthetic, built for friends, gatherings, relaxing, and reflecting. Exceptionally private acreage and conveniently located just over an hour from Austin or San Antonio in the Texas Hill Country, the perfect distance for a weekend retreat. An airy, minimalist expression that offers a genuine exhale from the urban hustle.

Built by highly regarded Fredericksburg builder Lemburg House, the single-story home includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a large central open living, dining, and kitchen with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and unobstructed hill country views. The back porch is the hub for evening hangouts and quiet morning coffee.

Designer lighting throughout from designers such as Rich Brilliant Willing and AlexAllan Studio. Custom window treatments. Stucco wood-burning fireplace. Incredible natural light.

Inspiring kitchen with dramatic quartzite backsplash and architectural fur down feature encasing the hood vent and contributing to the clean minimalist design. Open shelving displays everyday dishes, serving bowls and platters, and drinkware. Stainless steel Bertazzoni 30” Master Series duel fuel range, Bertazzoni vent hood, KitchenAid French Door refrigerator, and KitchenAid 39 decibel dishwasher (extremely quiet). Massive quartz island with an undermount Blanco single basin sink and Kohler pull-down faucet.

Incredible primary suite with space for a king-size bed and a work zone. The spa-like bath and shower open directly to an outdoor soaking tub and shower, because the Hill Country sky is worth it. A walk-in closet with built-in storage and a window seat rounds out this owner’s sanctuary.

Fourteen acres of total privacy. Fully fenced. Wildlife exemption in place. After years of over-grazing by cattle, the owners have worked to restore the native grasses, coaxing wildflowers back into the meadows, and bringing songbirds back to this tranquil setting. A grove of live oaks anchors the property behind the house.

Truly an unbeatable hill country location. The Albert House sits on a county-maintained dead-end road with no through traffic, no highway noise, and no neighbors in your sightline. Travel west, just twenty-five minutes to downtown Fredericksburg, or travel east, just twenty-five minutes to Johnson City. Only five minutes up the road to the Albert Dance Hall, one of the top live music destinations in the Hill Country, and reliably cold beer. Multiple wineries and distilleries are also within a 10-minute drive. No HOA and light deed restrictions leave room to grow: additional structures, a casita, studio, workshop, barn, horses, vines, even events.

Furnishings negotiable.

Privately offered. Inquiries welcome.
