Beautiful historic 3050 SF Markward Manor with 624 SF carriage house nestled among mature oak trees on 18 acres. This is one of the most unique properties in Lampasas County and sits right at the edge of town on a gorgeous hilltop. Built in 1875 by Theo Barfine for John Markward and his family. The carriage house was built first and the family lived in it until the main home was finished. Once the family moved into the main home the carriage house was used as a kitchen, dining room, cellar, and the cook's room. No cooking was done in the main house in those days. Much of the home's original character still remains today including detailed woodwork throughout, oak hardwood floors, beadboard ceilings and wainscoting, rock fireplaces, transom windows, window seats, built-in china cabinet, door hardware, 18' thick limestone walls, decorative stone lintels above exterior doors and windows, light fixtures, and amazing architectural features. The exterior boasts many covered porches, open air clay tile courtyard, two-car carport, fencing and cross fencing, antique wrought iron fencing, gazebo, storage building, an enormous metal building, gated entrance, and concrete walkways. The property has also been used as a Bed and Breakfast. The tranquil setting that this property offers is truly one-of-a-kind. Must see this property to truly appreciate it.
