HOUSE plus SHOP, SOLAR, RAINWATER, GARDEN, FRUIT TREES, AND GREAT TOWN!  Rustic charm, Hill County comfort, privacy, and versatility converge on this near 1/2 acre property in the charming town of Mason.  The house, built by a local craftsman circa 1994, comprises stucco-finished 2 ft thick rammed earth wall construction, deep light- filtering windows, spacious rooms, and high ceilings, Finished with reclaimed wood beams and beadboard, juniper cedar logs, local stone and Mexican and D'Hanis tile, the home has the look and feel of a vintage property.  In keeping with the style of the house, the current owners built a 1000 sq ft shop/studio with 12' high walls, 20' ft roof peak, huge north-facing windows, and 200 amp electrical service.  Rough plumbing for a handicapped  bathroom and kitchenette facilitates conversion to an apartment or auxiliary unit.  Add the 27,000 gallon underground rainwater cistern (serving the house), solar panels, and a 3 1/2 bay carport and you have it all.  A generous front porch overlooks large trees and native plantings.  Wildflowers surround the temperature controlled garden shed in spring, and raised vegetable beds and fruit trees yield year round.
