8571 Lone Star Parkway , Crawford, TX 76638(McLennan County)

This appx 97 acre property has almost 1/2 mile of frontage on the Middle Bosque River, one of the most pristine rivers in Central Texas. It has a solid rock bottom, long gravel bars, and is, at time, reminiscent of the rivers in the Hill Country. One of the aspects that makes this river so valuable is the extended array of wildlife. This property features trophy deer (several 150 class in the last several years), fantastic turkey(owner shot one with 4 beards), and many other unique wildlife. There is a huge indian camp on the farm and many great arrowheads have been found. Many are yet to be found. Enjoy floating and fishing the river, hunting wildlife, and discovering arrowheads on this fabulous property that is also well-equipped for horses and livestock. The property features a 6 stall barn with an extra appx 500 sf of loft space for hay storage or your own barn apartment, and approximately 25 acres of improved pasture planted in hybrid bermuda, as well as an appx 1/2 acre stock tank. If you like to garden, there is appx 400 sf greenhouse and 8 appx 4' x 10' raised gardening beds for your enjoyment. Fruit trees abound on this property, to include plum, peach, pear, and apricot, not to mention persimmon trees. Don't be surprised to also find wild blackberry vines. Only organic fertilizers have been used in the gardens and pastures by the current owners. Fenced and cross fenced, the property includes an amazing 3-story 4750sf(appx) lodge-style home with steel siding and a metal roof. The home consists of 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, a free-standing wood-burning stove, stained concrete, wood, and tile flooring. The living room with its 27 foot ceiling is covered in stained paneling and moldings from floor to ceiling. There is a feeling of grandeur in it, but the wood stove gives a cozy feel on a cold winter day. Speaking of the stove, the whole 4750 square foot home can be heated with it because of the superb foam insulation that the whole house was blown with. There are two gas furnaces, but the owners never turn them on because the stove heats so well. The kitchen is as fine as any that exists. All the appliances are top end stainless steel. There are two dishwashers-a Fischer & Paykel drawer type, and a Viking traditional. The microwave is a multifunction G. E. Advantium. There is a G. E. Monogram wine cooler and the main fridge is a built-in G. E. Monogram 4 foot side-by-side. The stove is a commercial grade Viking six burner with a griddle and dual ovens. There is even a built-in (totally custom) pot filler at the stove. The cabinetry of the kitchen is unbelievable. The wood is knotty alder which is the top wood of custom homes. The moldings are custom made acanthus leaf crown and corbels. All drawers are full extension and all doors have European-style concealed hinges. The countertops are a beautiful cream colored granite which complements the totally unique rock backsplash. The bar back is also rock and wraps around into the island backsplash. This is an extremely unique feature that complements the entire lodge feel of the rest of the house. The kitchen is complemented with a large walk-in pantry with rubber coated steel wire shelving for increased shelf lighting. There is plenty of room for a chest freezer or a couple of extra refrigerators. The home has two separate central heat and air units for energy efficiency, appx 27' ceilings in the main living area, a slide that goes from the third floor to the second floor, and an elaborate security system for your protection and peace of mind.
