About this property

Enjoy Country Living at it's best. Located a short distance from San Antonio

This Historical Fachwerk Home was built by Adolph Kappleman Sr. in 1865. It is the only Fachwerk house in this part of the Hill Country. It is comprised of four rooms, one large bedroom, large living room, a small kitchen with eating room and a small bathroom with a footed tub and shower. The house also Features wood floors. It is built with Hand-Squared, Native Cedar Studs and Beams, all pegged in place and hand made bricks for filler. The bricks were baked in a Kiel on the ranch. The ranch was acquired by Herbert and Hulda Mayer in 1920 and in 1957 by James and Lillian Mayer. It is still a working farm today.

The home was restored to it's original way in 1999 by James and Lillian Mayer. It is furnished with many family heirlooms and antiques. The living room has a sleeper sofa, T.V., comfortable chairs and is decorated in burgundy and white.

The bedroom has a queen size bed, antique dresser, chair and other antiques. It is decorated in pink and white. The bathroom has a footed tub and shower which is decorated in burgundy and navy. The kitchen area and eating area has a sink, small microwave and small refrigerator, an antique table and chairs and is decorated with in an apple motif and burlap curtains.

A look into the past
The house is perfect for what we wanted. Small with kitchen, separate bedroom, living room and bathroom. Loved the history and how it was displayed throughout the house. A/C was appreciated. The porch swing was perfect for morning devotions and relaxing after a busy day. We had car troubles and Beverley was quick to help us, getting friends to help and offer much needed advice. Such a blessing when we were completely stranded in the middle of nowhere. A few side notes the house did smell musty, but opening the doors took care of that immediately. There is no stove/oven in the house but they did provide a grill and all utensils for it. Lastly, the driveway is steep and exits directly into the road. No biggie once we got the hang of it. All in all 10 out of 10 stay. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

House was unique. Interesting history. Amenities over the top. Noisy traffic and dogs at night. RV with occupants in the front yard unexpected.
