About this property

An art filled, 120 year old limestone house, 4 blocks from Main St.

The unique, charming Potter's Cottage is the private and separate half of a 120 year old, historic limestone house. It is located in a country-like setting just 4 blocks from Marketplatz on Main Street. There is one bedroom, with a queen bed, perfect for a couple seeking a private, quiet place. The master bedroom is 4 steps up from the comfortable living room. Please keep the steps in mind when considering this property for the elderly or those with special needs. There is a downstairs bedroom with twin beds if separate sleeping is needed. Walk through the private entrance into a living room filled with art. Two outdoor seating areas, offer a lovely setting to enjoy the drier, cooler weather of the Texas Hill Country. The front yard and patio are both fenced as this is a pet friendly home away from home.
Finn, the owner of this house is a potter. The art- filled rooms reflect her love of beauty, simplicity and the hand made.
You'll enjoy a quiet stay here, reminiscent of simpler times in a small Texas town.

Awesome Place!

We loved staying here. There's a really cool downstairs area with two beds that we didn't use. The house is decorated beautifully throughout, and our favorite part was the large outdoor area. Quiet neighborhood. Highly recommend this property!

What a find

Historical. Felt like a little gem! Loved the brick and historic feel of the basement entry. Very eat out or have leftovers type of kitchen area. The house is split with owners on otherside. Very quiet home overall. Loved the location super close to town. Only saw owners once, very kind. Loved the fully fenced in yard for dogs! Overall would stay again 100%. Enjoyed my alone time here!

Why they chose this property

'While growing up in San Antonio, I had often visited the Hill Country as a child. Even then, I knew that some day, some way, I would live there. When my son was 4 years old, that opportunity came and we moved here to this very special small town with its wonderful community.'

What makes this property unique

This antique and art filled property, is a well cared for, family home that has in the past, sheltered many people in a loving way. The sun bleached limestone walls give this house it's rightful sense of place in the Texas Hill Country.
