I have a personal connection to that house. It was not actually built in '99. It was started a few years before that. I actually worked on the house a little myself. The property and house have some interesting stories and "secrets". I sent the video link to a woman who bought the property with her partner and started the house. The casita was actually designed as music room for her and had a piano while I was there. The creek bath was actually THE bath for quite a while. Hope fully she will chime in with some info! Cheers Y'all. If she declines to comment I will too, otherwise I can share more info. In the end I am very happy to see the purchaser of the property retained a lot of the original structures and finished the property wonderfully.

As a disabled person, I just see it as impractical for me personally. (Not to mention my fear of snakes, scorpions, & flash floods!) But for the right family, it would be an awesome abode. A dream house for a creative minded, introverted, ADD/ADHD individual. Imagine all of the energy one would burn off just living day to day life. Your brain could be engaged 24/7. Between just existing in the multi-level home to the piddling required to maintain the acreage, a person would never be bored!

Looking forward to more unique content - always fun to see inside creative minds!

@margaretleboeuf6765 2 ай бұрын

You are so right! This house is definitely a dream house for creative types who appear to be somewhat of an introvert. I'm a bit of an introvert who enjoys spending time with a few people, avoids large groups and crowds... I also enjoy spending time alone to pursue artistic activities that bring peace and enjoyment to living my life. I was mentally moving in and imagining how to utilize and enjoy each and every area. The art room for me, and the workshop for my husband 💕

Now they do scorpions and I’m petrified of snakes but if you are careful and watching where you’re going they won’t attack you unless you attack them. I’m 62 disabled female myself and I now live in the city in South Texas and we have snakes in the city not just in the country. So no matter where you are you can’t hide from them because they roam around everywhere. Like I said they aren’t going to attack you if you don’t attack them or if they don’t feel threatened by you. I would take my life there in a heartbeat even being disabled because having lived there before I know what all that has to offer!!

One new trend that I really like is all of the bedroom closets include a compact washer and dryer… The only other place I would consider putting one would be the master bathroom with the possible addition of an ironing area. This places washers and dryers in the areas were dirty laundry is going to accumulate, also very close to where linens are going to be replaced on the beds, towels are stocked in bathrooms, and clothes can go straight from the dryer to be folded and put away or hung up. Multi use closets like that really should have air conditioning registers, maybe a ceiling fan, and probably dedicated air returns as well. Many contractors don’t even bother to put air handing features in closets - just because they never did. As closets got bigger, and began serving as auxiliary laundry areas, they found themselves spending considerably more time in the “closet“ than they used to, and climate control became an issue. Especially large closets even include some kind of dressing seat or bench. Some even include a small TV, Extension speakers from the stereo, and an access point to a household intercom system.

Do you like flood waters rushing through your home? Because I'm pretty sure that building on the side of a hill, near the bottom of a creek, is a sure fire way to have that happen.

Good video presentation. However, that house is a quirky design located on a non-picturesque tract with a dry creek bed running through it. No big deal. Also, the construction and finish out is not that great. The only real stand out feature of the house is it’s casement windows throughout. Lastly, putting the laundry room (effectively) on the third level with access being across a vertigo “catwalk” is not something that will inspire many prospective buyers - especially those with rambunctious small children. Getting those appliances (W/D) up into that laundry room must be a nightmare - presumably they come with the house !!! Lastly, the steel pillars that the house is built upon are only truly sturdy if they were taken down to bedrock (which they may not have been because it’s very expensive). Just my thoughts….

@livinginaustintx 2 ай бұрын

Interesting….The house is interesting. I didn’t see much room for actual furniture. Each little area was almost like a nice motel space. Dining room was disappointing; the “main” bedroom was REALLY disappointing. The decks were the nicest part of the house. The view was pretty, but I know the climate. I wouldn’t pay a million plus for five acres of Texas scrub. And cleaning all those odd levels? 😱

Cool property. I almost bought something similar to this in leander. This property needs the right owner. I personally see it as a nightmare, like the almost completely custom house made by a woodworker in leander. If anything needed to be replace there nothing was standard. The house is on a hill multiple levels. So my aging parents and in-laws would not be able to use or visit the property. And would be completely unusable to me after my knee injury for at least a while. It was built solid but i saw no floor insulation under the build. So in the last few winters the floors must be ice cold as i can’t imagine it has In floor heating throughout. And then how much maintenance for the water system? I do like that it off the ground and built solid, but see a lot of issue. I live on a great property now but in a custom nightmare. I have already spent lots on remodeling and removing custom designed and outdated tech in the house you can’t find parts for. I am all for unique spaces but make them accessible.

@livinginaustintx 2 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! I definitely understand your sentiments on things that are super-custom! A couple of notes on your comments, first on the floor. With a wood subfloor and the cork, the floors don't get chilly in the winter. It's actually a really great design for that. And, on the rainwater, I've had whole house rainwater for 7 years and it's a little more maintenance than a well, but not much. Changing filters and UV bulbs mainly. But the difference in the water quality is completely night and day! 🍻-Chris
