This extraordinary 1951 Texas ranch-style home in the heart of New Braunfels' Comal town has undergone a remarkable renovation by an accomplished artist and permaculture designer/teacher. The property features thoughtful use of repurposed wood from the spalted pecan, harvested and milled on property, to the 1850's cedar posts re-purposed for the wrap around porches and trim details, natural stone tile work, sacred geometric patterns, and local Guadalupe rolled river rock features, making it a resilient, healthy and productive place to grow food, family, and community. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, this home offers a range of sustainable living opportunities. It features a 7K solar power plant, electric vehicle charger, lifetime stainless steel, redundant, rainwater collection system, and abundant and productive organic gardens (from decades of soil cultivation).
