Behind private gates and a canopy of mature trees, a French Country estate unfolds across 10 secluded acres in Aledo, a house shaped as much by restraint as by grandeur, just minutes from fine dining and easy commuter access. The arrival is classical: a checkered tile foyer beneath soaring ceilings, with a formal dining room and study to either side. Beyond, the house opens into volume. Cathedral ceilings rise over the living room and chef’s kitchen, where warm brick and stone meet a massive island, a butler’s pantry and herringbone wood floors that flow into the living room. There, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace holds the center, framed by brick-accented built-ins, while tall windows draw the landscape in. The soul of the house is its bibliotheque, a library of dual fireplaces, custom millwork and a full bar, as suited to a dinner party as to a quiet evening with a book. A first-floor theater offers another place to gather. The primary suite is a study in quiet richness, with paneled walls, hardwood floors and its own fireplace. Its bath carries the checkered motif in polished neutrals, with a walk-through brick shower, a freestanding soaking tub, his-and-her closets and laundry tucked within. Guest suites are generous, the plan wastes nothing, and full spray foam encapsulation keeps the house efficient in every season. A five-car garage completes the picture. Survey, pool renderings, build plans and select furnishings are available upon request.
