1934 N WALNUT SPRINGS ROAD, JOHNSON CITY, TX 78636

Discover your Texas Hill Country escape: Designed by Rick & Cindy Black Architects, this luxury new construction sits on a 7-acre private property with 1,500 shared acres under wildlife management. Sited in the premier ranch community of The Preserve at Walnut Springs, the equestrian facilities, miles of winding trails, clubhouse, pools and recreational amenities support outdoor adventure and relaxation. The main residence, at 1534 square feet, pairs heirloom-quality construction with high-end finishes, and includes an expansive primary suite, dressing room with built-in daybed, chef's kitchen and pantry, and living and dining areas to host many guests. An authentic wood-burning stove encourages nights around the fire. A terrace with steel trellis expands the living toward the west for sunset views across the pasture. Sited within the garden is a charming 324 square foot detached studio. Guests are accommodated with a built-in double queen bunk, half bath and outdoor shower. The studio interior has shiplap board walls and a timber-framed vaulted ceiling, and offers work-from-home possibility with a built-in desk and storage loft. The property benefits from the community's wildlife management plan, allowing for a significant property tax reduction on 6 of the 7 acres. The architects have created plans to expand the footprint with an additional 2- bedroom 2-bath, plus garage. A thoughtfully designed rainwater collection system and septic are both sized for future additions. The Preserve at Walnut Springs was built upon the concept of land conservation and protected open space, creating outdoor recreation within a community that's becoming harder and harder to find. With 1,500 acres of protected, managed open space, the entire community benefits from the shared expense of land management and property tax exemption.
