About this property

Georgetown Square Minutes From Riverside, Countryside Farm Home, Family & Pets

Experience the evolution of vacation travel - stress-free countryside living at this one-of-a-kind Texas Hill Country home. Situated among centuries-old live oaks on a mile of San Gabriel River frontage, 172 acres of working farmland, and full of history. This Georgetown farm is sure to captivate the whole group with its stunning views, terraced patios and original charm.

Throughout this thoughtfully designed home, you'll marvel at unique touches that speak to its special appeal. From the hand-laid stone pulled from the river, to the pond with fountain. You'll even find framed reproductions of art painted by previous owner and artist C.P. Montague (who happened to be one of President Lyndon B. Johnson's favorites) decorating the walls.

The open living area offers plenty of air conditioned space to catch up with friends, while the gourmet kitchen provides all you need to prep family-style meals, including a dishwasher for easy clean-up. Curl up with a book by the wood-burning fireplace (wood provided), host family movie night on the 62" flat screen Smart TV and DVD player, or stream your favorite show through free Wi-Fi on your devices. For those of you needing to work from while visiting, the Internet tower is in the top pasture, so you will have hi-speed Internet!

Two luxurious king suites come complete with light-filled sitting rooms and beautiful linens, while a queen sleeper sofa with an additional 4" mattress topper in the living alcove, or a 22" queen self-inflatable mattress with comfy bedding creates room for up to 6 travelers. If you brought the little one, a Pack-n-play and strap-in booster chair with tray, and a small canvas stroller are available too.

There are two baths; one with a walk-in shower, the other with a square soaking tub. A front-load washer and dryer helps keep packing light.and addition

An entertainer's paradise lies just outside! Relax with a glass of wine on multi-level terraced patios while listening to the song birds, or the fountain in the pond below. Fire up the charcoal grill and dine alfresco with the whole group. At dusk, a fire pit awaits for story swapping, S'mores making, and stargazing.

Just 10 minutes down the road is historic Georgetown, with "The Most Beautiful Town Square in Texas", with museums, wonderful farm-to-table restaurants and live music. Wolf Ranch in Georgetown is a destination shoppers delight; shopping at IKEA and the outlet mall is just 20 minutes away; and you'll be in the heart of Austin in 30 minutes.

Or stay close to home and find great fishing and tubing in the San Gabriel River, along with 172 acres for hiking and birding. Be sure to check out our free farm tour where the whole family can learn about local fossils, plants, search for arrowheads, engage with the animals, or take tractor rides. Don't forget your pets! Open acres of leash-free space are a dog's dream come true.

Ditch the city life for the serenity of the Texas Hill Country countryside and come see what it's like to live on a working farm and explore a living museum!

Peaceful + Restful + Comfortably Wonderful!
The quaint-Texas elegant farm house with its comfortable furnishings and historical artwork was perfect and priced right. The private treed site and fire-pit rock and forest back yard more than offset the older style of the house. What topped it all was the walk through the orchard to the stunning private riverside setting where we spent hours in seclusion and beauty. The host delivered warm muffins and even had plenty of coffee and other necessaries all in position. We will be coming back.

Home on the Ranch
This is our third stay and it's becoming our "home away from home" when we visit our Texas family. It's comfortable, has a farm animals and wildlife nearby, the river is a wonderful place to visit and the hosts are extremely kind and accommodating. We love it there!

Slow pace girls weekend
Sheron was a peach to work with! She took pride in her property and was very knowledgeable about it. She even made us homemade blueberry muffins. I feel she went over and beyond and was wonderful with her communication skills!

Location Location!
You cannot beat this property!! We have stayed many places and we just love the landscape of Scurlock Farms! This was our second visit and we were not disappointed. This is a great family vacation spot. Chilling by the river was lots of fun, and our daughter loved it. Sheron was so helpful as always, and made the best muffins for us! We got a flat and one of her sons came to help us right away. You can’t go wrong with Scurlock Farms.

Farmcation
We had a great experience at Scurlock Farms. Sheron and her family were so welcoming and were the best host. My kids enjoyed interacting with all the animals and exploring the property. Unfortunately, due to the drought, we were not able to enjoy the river on the property but hoping to go back soon when the river is flowing once again. I would definitely recommend vacationing with the Scurlocks!!!

About the host

Hosted by Sheron Scurlock, Owner

Host profile image
Dan and I both grew up in Rockdale, a small town 45 minutes from Georgetown. I grew up in the country on a small 3 acre farm and Dan grew up in town. We were childhood sweethearts and both attended Baylor University.

I have loved furnishing and decorating the homes for our guests. I continue to do a lot of the landscaping and taking care of the general upkeep of the homes.

I love to garden - there are even kitchen gardens for our guests to enjoy!, and I am an avid reader. Since I have retired I have more time to volunteer. Dan is always busy working on something on the farm - he will never be bored!

Our youngest son, David, was 6 weeks old when we moved to the farm and he and his family live on the farm. David chose a home site along the bluff and built his home. David is a Georgetown motor officer, so if you see a police car on the drive, there is no problem - it is just David coming and going!

Our oldest son, Daniel, sold his IT business in Dallas and moved back to the farm in 2018! He and Sherry are avid gardeners and cooks/chefs. Look for some of their homemade goodies in the home that you can purchase.

My nephew, Grant Burnham with Grant Burnham Ceramics has made custom mugs and tankards for me and guests have loved them as souvenirs. they are in the homes as well. Grant makes them, then fires them at the kiln on the farm. He photographs them on the terraced patios of Rocky Overlook.

As you can tell, Scurlock Farms is a family affair! We have all loved meeting and getting to know our guests as we meet them out and about the farm or while giving tours or tractor rides. We take great pride in what we do. I believe we offer a boutique farm stay experience to our guests. Not boutique as in "fancy schmancy", but boutique in providing a one-of-a-kind experience to our guests. I gave a tour this afternoon, and as I dropped a guest off, she commented, "thank you so much. You made me feel like a member of the family!"

Why they chose this property

When Mom and Dad bought this beautiful piece of property, they gave each of their 5 children the option of building a home at a location of our choosing. Dan and I jumped at the opportunity and were the only ones to take them up on it. We moved to the farm in 1971 and built our home in 1977.

After my dad died in 1986 Dan and I began buying the farm. When my mom died in 2010, she left her home and art studio to us.

We've raised our family here and made the same offer to our two sons and our youngest took us up on it and built a beautiful home for his family in the middle of the property.

Our oldest son can't wait to retire and return to the farm!

Rocky Overlook and The Palette Pad are the heart of the farm and I could not even think of selling them. I didn't want them to fall in disrepair from not being used, or vandalized. Both are so unique that I wanted to share them.

My sisters helped me and we totally remodeled the interiors of both and the results have been spectacular. It has been so gratifying to share my parent's dream home, history, and talents with others.

In each house, I have a notebook with the story of their searching for and finding the property and building the houses. Also, the story of mama's painting and how she became C. P. Montague and a favorite of President Lyndon B. Johnson. The joy and appreciation that guests have when staying there are a living tribute to mama and daddy!

What makes this property unique

This large, open home was designed around centuries-old live oak trees. It is constructed of river rock; every rock was picked up at the river on the property by Sheron's parents, Bill and Pauline Thweatt.

Guests have marveled at how the rock was laid - all of the grout exactly the same depth and smoothed, and the lines of rocks precisely straight. Mama laid all of the rocks that show on the front of the houses, the columns in front of the homes, and the interior rock fireplace walls. Daddy laid rock on the back and sides where they would not be as visible! Daddy did an outstanding jpob, too, but the artist in Mamom had to have the very straight, precise lines!!

There are special rocks interspersed with the river rocks and mama could tell you a story about each one. I am sorry I didn't write those stories down.
