Hidden deep within Texas Hill Country, just a stone's throw outside
Fredericksburg, is the Cool Water Ranch communitya 400-plus-acre plot of gently
rolling hills and pastoral meadows that provide a playground for wildlife.
You sort of just happen upon this house, which fits comfortably into the
Southwest landscape with its palette of greens, taupes, native stones and groves
of elms and Spanish oaks. This nearly 7,600-square-foot ranch compound was built
to be functional and self sustaining.
