In the thick of the Texas Hill Country, miles and miles away from Austin or San Antonio, a historic property is now for sale that may be the oldest home on the market in the Lone Star State. Already listed in the National Register of Historic Places, it stands as a chance to own a literal piece of Texas history, along with prime Hill Country real estate.
The Stagecoach Inn and Livery Stable in Blanco County was first built in 1874 and is now selling its historic property for $1.2 million, according to its listing from Circa Old Houses. Carrying the “spirit of the Old West,” the property resides along North Cypress Creek in the town of Round Mountain and previously went through iterations as a stagecoach stop and inn, a post office, general store and even a blacksmith shop. One of only 40 stagecoach inns in the nation, future owners will be able to walk through history every day on their new home.
The property covers 2,900 square feet and comes with three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, living and dining rooms, two screened-in porches, a front porch and a livery stable with four portable stalls and an upstairs bathroom, according to the listing. It also offers 18-inch walls and has been updated with new septic, plumbing and electrical systems, as well as ductless units, fresh paint, stalls on a padded concrete floor and new fencing and gates.
“Whether you wish to escape into your own personal sanctuary or create an intimate event venue here in the picturesque Texas Hill Country, this property offers the perfect setting to fulfill your vision,” the listing reads.
