Set on a hill country estate, this property centers on a hand-built 2,300-square-foot log cabin with vaulted ceilings and a rustic, cabin-style interior.

Outdoor features include an expansive veranda overlooking a koi pond, a stone patio, and a cabana.

At the heart of the estate is a meticulously crafted stone chapel designed as an open-air sanctuary capable of seating 80 guests, suitable for weddings, concerts, and other events.
