5904 Old Yoakum Road, Cuero, Texas

Description

Aptly named "Mas de L'ange" (House of Angels) and inspired by a home of the same name in Arles, France, this Country French custom-built home occupies a stately presence on the highest point of the 45-acre property. The sweeping view overlooks rolling meadows, a meditative labyrinth, two ponds, and wildlife habitat acreage. A gently winding road leads to the impressive cypress front door through which one enters the expansive great room with its massive wooden beams supporting the grand vaulted ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace, slate floors, hand-plastered walls and gorgeous wrought-iron chandelier. The heart of the home, the kitchen--with professional-grade appliances, knotty alder custom cabinets, breakfast bar, built-in buffet and walk-in pantry--opens to the great room, an herb garden in the front, and a covered patio in the rear. The master suite, also with beamed and vaulted ceilings, has a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with a double antique vanity, jetted tub and separate shower. The guest suite features large closets with custom-built cypress doors, an ensuite bath, and lovely views of the property. A third downstairs bedroom and ensuite bath is spacious enough to serve also as an office. The upstairs flex space offers versatility as an office, exercise room, craft space or fourth bedroom. The half bath features an antique Moroccan-tiled wall sink and a mural of Provence's lavender fields. Outdoor entertaining space is ample with the covered porches, the sitting area surrounding the tower fountain, the nationally-recognized labyrinth, and numerous grassy areas. Deer, turkey, and native birds are abundant; the ponds are stocked and may be filled through underground piping from one of the two wells. New hog-wire fending surround the property and the home afford the opportunity for cattle. Two storage buildings offer space for an art studio or a workshop. This unique property truly offers luxurious country living!
