Set along the scenic countryside, this is a rare opportunity to revive a piece of Washington County history. Originally built in 1916 and thoughtfully relocated to a picturesque hilltop, the farmhouse rests on approximately 6.5 ag exempt acres of rolling terrain with sweeping, long distance, panoramic views. Rich in character and architectural charm, the home offers 1688 sq/ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 car garage, original hardwood floors, vintage details, and timeless elements. While the residence is in need of renovation, it presents an exceptional canvas in one of the area’s most desirable settings. Complementing the property is a recently built guest cottage featuring 2 beds, 1 bath, & an open-concept living space, complete with its own septic system and electric service.
Just minutes from the charm of Chappell Hill and a convenient drive to Brenham, this property combines location, history, and potential in a way that is increasingly rare to find.
