About This Property
Tucked away in a quiet slice of countryside, the Rainer Family Farmstead is the perfect landing spot for those needing a well-appointed rural relocation or an escape from urban life. Passed down through the Rainer family for decades, it is a beautiful mixture of lovingly preserved original details and modern amenities.
The main body of the farmhouse was built in 1909, with two back rooms added in the 80s. The house, pond, and barns all hail from the original Rainer farmstead, giving it a charm that goes back more than a century. Mr. Rainer purchased the farm when he got back from the war in 1946, then worked the original 35 acres and surrounding 140 acres till his passing. The farm remained in the family until 2021.
Recent renovations have kept its original farmhouse character, with some original cabinets in the kitchen and refurbished sliding doors in the home. A professional interior designer picked floors, paint colors, hardware, and more to ensure that turn-of-the-century vibe. Original longleaf pine flooring in the living and dining rooms, salvaged and refinished, completes the look.
Because everyone wants the latest and greatest, the home was gutted to the studs, and walls were moved where necessary. The result: excellent bones with modern appliances, a relatively open floor plan, and tons of light. Recessed LED bulbs lend a soft glow to the home at night.
The 1,777-square-foot home now boasts all-new electrical as well as an expertly leveled foundation, completed before renovations. The new roof was installed using a 30-year architectural shingle. New siding and spray-foam insulation, plumbing, low-E windows, an energy-efficient tankless water heater, and a high-efficiency 16 Seer A/C and heating system complete its modern facelift.
Sitting on 3.5 acres, graced with a small pond and fencing, this property is ideal for equestrians and anglers. An abundance of trees along the property’s edge provide serene views and plenty of privacy.
Located in the West ISD school district, it’s an excellent location to raise kids. The farmhouse is situated far enough away from the urban bustle that you’ll feel perfectly secluded, yet close enough to make daily living simple and convenient.
If you’re looking for a home that has been elegantly restored and thoughtfully designed, but with plenty of room to add your own personal touch, the Rainer Family Farmstead is it. Come take a look … and maybe stay a while.
