Where the city ends and the country begins.

Cook a real dinner. Curl up by the fire. Take the porch as the sky turns. Small on the outside, every comfort within. Come slow down.

The view

Eighteen hundred acres of wide-open Texas.

Step out back and the farmland runs all the way to the horizon. The crops change with the seasons, every one of them its own kind of beautiful, and the sunsets out here put on a show most nights.

No neighbors crowding in. No traffic. Just room to breathe and a whole lot of sky.

After dark

And then the stars come out.

Step onto the porch as the Texas sky turns gold, the day starts to slow, and the minutes stretch farther than the farmland. The air smells like cut hay, the only sounds are crickets and a far-off tractor, and the fields reach so far you can watch a storm roll in from miles away. When the sun drops, the sky fills with more Texas stars than a country music award show. And that's when it happens. All that city stress just melts away. Come kick off your boots and stay a while.

The location

Quiet country, close to everything.

You're minutes from historic downtown Waxahachie, the "Gingerbread City," with its Victorian streets, local shops, coffee houses, and restaurants. The whole Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex is an easy drive when you want it.

Perfect for a weekend reset, a family getaway, a romantic escape, or a work stay near the hospital.
