A unique opportunity to lease a grand country manor home in a gorgeous setting with a pond. You would only need to maintain about an acre of grass (the rest is under hay exemption), but have use of the entire acreage. 3 woodburning fireplaces, real wood floors, high ceilings, granite, crown molding, over 1100 sq ft of porches that include a private back porch overlooking a wooded area and a lovely front porch overlooking the selectively cleared acreage and pond...the list goes on and on. This property has it all! If you don't need all the bedrooms, the upstairs with 2 bedrooms, a small open area, and Jack and Jill bath has it's own HVAC system and can be completely closed off. Huge downstairs living area with wet bar and fireplace is perfect for entertaining or spending a quiet evening at home. Natural light streams into living area through floor-to-ceiling windows and French doors that provide access to the covered back porch. The over-sized primary bedroom suite also has floor-to-ceiling windows and access to covered back porch, has a spa tub and separate shower + a separate attached room that could serve as a sitting room, nursery or office. The wood-paneled office/library is just across from the primary bedroom and also has a wood-burning fireplace. The formal dining room is located just off the foyer, next to breakfast room. The island kitchen features a wood-burning fireplace, a butler's pantry, and abundant cabinets. Covered front and back porches for relaxing and enjoying the views. Split plan has two secondary bedrooms and full bath, plus the large laundry room on separate hall. Wood floors and tile in main areas of home and upstairs; nearly-new carpet in downstairs bedrooms. This is a lovely, high-end property that is move-in ready. 33 minutes from Brenham; 15 minutes from Industry. (For prospective buyers: 7 acres is under Ag Exemption, so you'll save on property taxes!)
