Description
The Tonkawa riverfront retreat (The Tonk), located on the Middle Bosque River, is a one-of-a-kind architectural masterwork hidden away on 10 acres. This unique, designer home has garnered several national and statewide awards and is featured in magazines and videos. This gated entry to the property has a deliberately unassuming approach and is surrounded by forests, river and meadows, one-half mile from the nearest neighbor. Property has over 180 yards of river frontage. This home is perfect for entertaining or even hosting large gatherings to include weddings and special events with additional outdoor living space and RV accommodations or food truck. It was recently celebrated as the #1 Airbnb mansion in Texas by a prominent travel website. Surrounded by cool reflecting ponds and waterfalls, the 147 floor-to-ceiling windows generate continuous dancing light on the walls and ceiling. How many other homes have a 20-foot, 6-ton working waterwheel, glass floor over the water, or hinged bookcases that conceal hidden exits to the garage and a designer bathroom? Gourmet kitchen with generous cabinetry, gas Viking convection double oven/stove with 6 burners and griddle, double sinks, commercial ice maker, newer refrigerator, microwave, trash compactor, granite and soapstone countertops. New Savant smart home programmable system controls lighting scenes, climate and AV and locks from smart phone or programmable wall switches. Custom wood Pella crank-open windows. Five private porches. Huge stone, wood burning fireplace piped for gas. Imported dry-stacked sandstone walls and columns with impeccable masonry work. Stained concrete floors on 4-foot thick slab. Steel I-beams support a 31-foot ceiling in the great room. Entire home is clad in solid cedar with expert workmanship. Three separate climate-controlled areas. Spacious laundry room with storage and utility sink. Two spacious bedrooms with king beds and mounted televisions included. Huge, climate-controlled closets in each bedroom with built-in shelves. Outdoor entertainment area includes Coyote Bluetooth controlled grill/pellet smoker, large warming tray and dual-ring hi-temp for boiling/frying, two drawer refrigerator, stainless steel sink, drop in cooler, copper-top counters and curved red oak bar top. Wildlife feeder and riverside firepit for enjoying native animals, the rushing river and sounds of nature. Quiet and void of all light pollution for wonderful night sky viewing. Original design by renowned architect Stan Love. https://galleries.page.link/cyuv7
