The space
Originally built in 1976 on 87 acres, this home is bursting with incredible history. One of Waco, Texas' own country music stars spent a lot of time in this home in his youth- his name is carved into the cement of the carport. It was later purchased by a couple who built the horse barn & had up to 80 Egyptian Arabian horses at one time. In '97, the publisher of the Waco Tribune Herald purchased the home & enjoyed the property for 14 years before the current owners bought the land, house & guesthouse.
The house is a sprawling 5,000 sq ft of pure delight. A large & spacious kitchen with a wonderful view of the pool outside. 2 dining areas with two tables & space for 12 seats total. An inviting living area with a large tv & plenty of seating options/reading nooks. An adjoining game area with pool table, couch & 65" smart tv. The den leads out to a massive 500 year old oak tree that is so majestic you'll find yourself staring at its large reaching branches in pure amazement & wonder (it really is spectacular).
With 11 beds & a fold out futon in the main house, there is plenty of space for all your favorites. The main house also features 4 full bathrooms, keeping the fights for showers at bay (hooray!)
There is a guesthouse located a short walk from the main house that is rented out long term. Any long term guest staying at the guesthouse has their own parking & will not interfere with your stay.
