186 | SIMPLY INFLUENTIAL The owner of this one-of-a-kind estate ranch told me that when he was a youth, he would have to go out to a spring and haul water into the house – it left an indelible impression on him – and he vowed that a source of fresh water would be an essential part of his future home. When this great ranch property in the midst of piney woods became available, the first thing that got his attention was the artesian well flowing perpetually through the property! The artesian well became the source of fresh water when the owners designed and constructed this 4 bedroom and 3.5 bath two-story structure. An equestrian stable with 8 stalls was added, and an existing cabin on the property was renovated as a caretaker’s home. The pictures tell the story of elegance and style put together by one of the country’s foremost interior designers who is the wife and mother to the family that has occupied the oh so comfortable yet posh abode. An electric gate entry leads to the Austin quarried stonewalls surrounding the motor court. The entry foyer is grand, with the stairway going to the upstairs level guest rooms and study. The main level encompasses the 2 level Great Room with floor to ceiling windows and a fireplace, Master Bedroom, Library, Game Room and a Kitchen with every amenity and high end appliance including granite countertops for the gourmet chef. Four fireplaces inside and one outside add to the warm ambiance. Imagine a location just one hour from Dallas in the lush, green rolling hills of East Texas.
