The spacious back patio has a washed gravel concrete surface with stone accenting. There is a stone outdoor fire ring centered in the back patio. The garage has storage and is open on two sides and supported with large stone columns. The stone exterior and the type of material used in building the boxing and ceilings of the porches make this home a low maintenance home. The 36'X60' barn was just finished in March of 2009. It has horse stalls, tack room and storage. It could easily be converted to any kind of use. The property has been perimeter fenced and crossed fenced into four pastures and a corral. The owners were using the property for their horses as well as a few goats. The goats should qualify a new owner in the future for an agricultural tax exemption on 14 of the 15 acres and will lower the property taxes. Wildlife here is typical of Texas Hill Country with many deer, turkey and dove. Students can attend either Liberty Hill or Florence school systems.
