Secluded Western Ranch House on 4 Acres Near Bandera
My home has been mentioned in Texas Monthly: https://www.texasmonthly.com/travel/ten-great-vacation-rentals-vetted-by-texas-monthly-writers/
If you are looking for a place close to Bandera yet in the country this 2 bedroom 2 bath home is the place. It is authentic vintage 1940’s Texas western. Located within a mile from Main street Bandera this home is situated on 4 acres in a neighborhood and feels secluded, but not isolated, near the city and offers perfect bird & deer watching. The house is loaded with character but has all of the modern amenities and is very comfortable with a restful atmosphere. This home will sleep up to 6 people. The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed, the second bedroom has 2 twins, and there is also a fold out sofa bed that will sleep two. The house was built by my grandfather and father as a family vacation lodge in 1947-48. Outwardly it appears much as it did when it was built, but it has all brand new mechanicals, wiring, & plumbing. The large living room has a rock fireplace (wood burning), hardwood floors, finished pine walls and vaulted ceiling, & is decorated with Ranch Oak & W.R. Dallas furniture.
The breezeway with D’Hanis tile floors and large windows looks out onto the wooded property and serves as the dining area. The second bedroom has a western theme with cowboy wallpaper, sheets, and furniture. The kitchen is fully equipped with all appliances, except there is no dishwasher. The home has a security system, covered parking, new central air & heat, high speed internet TV, a MP3 / Ipod capable stereo AM / FM sound system , CD player, and a washer & dryer, and there is no telephone service but excellent cell coverage. The House features: -King size bed in master bedroom -First bath with glass enclosed shower -Twin beds in second bedroom -Second bath with tub / shower combination -Fold out sofa bed for two -Kitchen with coffee maker, microwave, range top & convection oven, and refrigerator- fitted out with good cookware and appliances -Large living room -Large front porch
