158.84 Acres in Thrall, TX - $786,258
Just a few years shy of 100th birthday, this still stately, but weathered farmhouse and an accompanying mix of comparably aged barns, sheds, pens and coops sits just North of Brushy Creek and west of Little Brushy Creek on 158+ acres of some of Central Texas's richest and quickly disappearing row-crop backland. It's been in constant production for over 100 years and home to more than five generations of a hard-working, Thrall, Tx. farming family. Every detail-rich room, still with it's original hardwood floors, pine-trimmed doors and windows and beadboard wainscoting bearing witness to their busy lives under her gabled roof and the daily work on the family farm.

The home's rooms are still bright with sunlight from rows of antique, wavy-glass windows, the dining room and kitchen share her best and most decorative feature, an original pine and glass-fronted cupboard/passthrough with a most interesting screened back. The Master bedroom features another of her charms,
a petite music room built to house the family piano that's said to have inspired impromptu dances on her broad wrap-a-round porches. A "hidden" staircase crafted from the same richly-stained pine and beadboard leads upstairs to an expansive, open room with four separate areas, one under every gable of her roof, each with it's own closet, unique row-crop view and built just for the farmer's daughters... The boys slept in a separate bunkhouse just outside the backyard gate. Built without indoor plumbing (an outhouse still sits out back) two full baths were added much later along with sheet rock and new electrical wiring.
Never meant to be grand or grandiose, intended instead to serve the needs of a working family, with good bones and thoughtful practicality, she's worse for the wear but worth one's time and investment.
Still standing, wrapped by the land she anchors, patiently waiting for someone to rediscover her, understand her worth and fill her again with happy voices, lively music and good memories.
