About the host
Hosted by Joy Perry
We’re a family rooted in both craftsmanship and care. My husband and youngest daughter own and operate J.R.A.D. Construction LLC, a family‑run company known for paving, grading, and site work across Texas. Together, we’ve built more than projects—we’ve built a lifestyle. Beyond construction, we raise farm‑fresh chickens and beef right here on the land. Guests often catch a glimpse of Granddad feeding the animals in the evenings—a tradition that keeps our homestead alive
Why they chose this property
It’s quiet and on family land.
What makes this property unique
You can always find granddad at the end of the day feeding animals or out on the property doing something.
