EUROPEAN LIVING 
Mature live oak and pecan trees along a gated driveway leads to a European-style farmhouse built in the 1960s and remodeled in 2016. A two-story living room with vaulted-beam ceiling and the master suite that overlooks the pool have views of the 51 acres. A stocked pond, large barn, and cross fencing for hay or cattle complete the pastoral fantasy.
