Imagine living in this charming 1901 Victorian Craftsman home, nestled at the end of a country road on ten acres, that has been restored with integrity and respect. Next, imagine yourself with a bustling business, guests coming and going to visit the Cedar Lakes Woods and Gardens, the underwater diving caves, Devils Den, Blue Grotto, Black Prong – an equine driving jewel – and Two Tails Ranch, the elephant sanctuary, and the 5 million years an old Montbrook Fossil Dig. This property is minutes from the World Equestrian Center. This estate could be the perfect spot for a Guest House / Bed and Breakfast, Airbnb, or your personal home to raise a family or retire in. Walking up the stairs to the massive front door, you are greeted with the original mechanical twist doorbell – one of many authentic details left untouched by time. Welcome to the Montbrook House, 5500 square feet of hardwood floors, six fireplaces, six bedrooms, and four bathrooms – two with gorgeous clawfoot tubs. Lots of original millwork, crown molding, hand-carved door casings adorned with rosettes, and plinth blocks.
The door opens to a beautiful foyer and staircase. The walls covered in sumptuous, hand-painted wallpaper. The first floor hosts two bedrooms, a flex room perfect for a home office or baby nursery, a gorgeous parlor with custom-designed board and batten walls, multiple closets, and a stately dining room with shiplap walls and the original working chandelier. The large kitchen has craftsman cabinets, butcher block counters, and a large island with a sink and space for a dishwasher. The kitchen is attached to the original scullery and converted into a large pantry. The kitchen and dining room both have beautiful wind-rated French doors that open to the vast screened wrap-around porch off the side and back of the house. A door in the kitchen leads to a 1500 sq. ft. entertainment/man cave/family room that opens to the 33,000-gallon enclosed pool. This room has a luxurious hand-stained tongue, groove ceiling, whitewashed tongue, and groom walls. The ceiling has spray insulation for extra energy efficiency. A cabana full bath opens up to the pool area. Walking up the stately original staircase, notice the large hallway landing area with another original chandelier, board and batten walls and ceiling, and a large bathroom with a working clawfoot tub. Four bedrooms are upstairs with a 2 with a connected bath. One bedroom opens up to a covered deck overlooking the back of the property – a perfect spot to watch the sunrise. Outside is an attached room for a workshop, tools, lawn equipment, and tools. The plumbing has been updated with PVC, and the entire home has been rewired from the original cloth wiring to 100% 2023 code. The home has three AC Zones – one for the 1500 sq. foot entertainment room, one for the downstairs, and a newly installed unit for the upstairs. The well has a new pump and rods, and the three-chamber septic has been pumped. Water has been piped from the well to the back pasture for livestock and gardening. The house sits on 10 acres of cleared land with Grandmother Azaleas and Camellias, ligustrum, and an ancient pecan tree still producing. A custom-built chicken coop and multiple outbuildings for workshops, barns, and storage, these ten prime acres make it a perfect choice for a farm-to-table enterprise. The possibilities are endless; the Montbrook House is a must-see.
