The space
Step into a world where time stands still, and history whispers through the walls of a 1840s farmhouse nestled on a serene 10-acre property in the heart of Round Top, Texas. This vacation rental home isn't just a place to stay; it's an enchanting journey back
in time, a sanctuary where old-world charm meets modern elegance.
As you approach this lovingly restored farmhouse, you'll be captivated by its timeless beauty. European designers have poured their hearts into every detail, preserving the essence of the past while infusing it with contemporary comforts. This is a place where
dreams are born and memories are woven.
Step through the door, and the world outside fades away. High ceilings adorned with rustic wooden beams stretch overhead, creating a sense of grandeur and space. The soul of this farmhouse beckons you to explore its history, to feel the stories it holds within
its walls.
Three bedrooms await your embrace, each with its own unique character. The master suite, a luxurious retreat, boasts an ensuite bathroom, ensuring your comfort and privacy. The second bedroom, with an adjacent bathroom, offers a cozy haven for restful
nights. The third bedroom accessible with a spiral staircase from the master bedroom.
As you wander through the living spaces, you'll discover the rich Texan history woven into the very fabric of the house. Legend has it that this very farmhouse was crafted by none other than Joel Walter Robison, the Texan hero who captured the infamous Mexican
General Santa Ana during the Battle of San Jacinto. Every creak of the floorboards, every whisper of the wind through the trees, seems to tell a tale of the past.
Outside, the property unfolds like a painting, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and a sense of tranquility that soothes the soul. Take a leisurely stroll, let the sun kiss your skin, and breathe in the fresh Texas air. You're only a mere 4 minutes away from
the charming Round Top Square, where the heart of the town beats with art, culture, and community. And just 2 minutes down the road lies the renowned Marburger Farms, a treasure trove of antiques and vintage delights.
This farmhouse in Round Top, Texas, isn't just a vacation rental; it's a place where history, beauty, and serenity converge. It's where you'll create memories that linger in your heart long after your stay has come to an end. Book your escape to this enchanting
retreat, and let the stories of the past embrace you in their warm and welcoming embrace. Your journey back in time awaits.
