Lovely Place
A lovely old home and was nice to spend the night at. Loved learning the history of the home as well. We went to Bryans on 290 for dinner and it was in walking distance from this home.

Why they chose this property

This property was given to my family by Sam Houston Johnson when he passed away. It has always been a place of gathering for my family during the holidays. I'm delighted to share this special property.

What makes this property unique

This historic home is constructed of pink granite, quarried from nearby Marble Falls. It is the same pink granite used on the Capital Building in Austin.
