Description from the owner
Deep in the heart of Texas, down a country lane, this home was designed around gorgeous hundreds of year old live oak trees by famed TX landscape artist C. P. Montague. It is constructed of river rock, picked up at the river on the property by the artist and her husband, also hand-laid by them. There are two interior rock fireplace walls with working fireplaces, firewood provided. The home is about 2,400 sq. ft. with large open living areas and two large, master bedroom suites. One has a beautiful Texas river landscape mural painted above the square tub by the artist. The second has a very large walk-in shower. The main living area has... a large screen HDTV. You won't mind being in the fully furnished kitchen as you enjoy the spectacular view out the wall of windows above the sink, overlooking the upper patio and the lower terraces and patio, fish pond and 5-tiered water fall, then on down the bluff to the woods. Artist's painting area has a wall of 7' windows with game table.
Farm Activities: Within walking distance to the San Gabriel River, Rocky Hollow is on a working 112 acre farm and has 1/2 mile river frontage. See horses and goats across the drive and feel your stress melt away as you inhale the freshly mowed hay from the pasture. Relax surrounded in rustic beauty with a clear view of the night sky and stars, perfect for stargazing. In the fall and winter, enjoy the fire pit as you relax outside; in the spring and summer, enjoy the breezes we always enjoy. Pick up pecans in the 19 acre orchard if you'd like in the fall. Archaeology buffs can hunt the limestone river banks for a variety of fossils or the hillside for Tonkawa or Comanche Indian arrowheads. We have many birders stop along the property trying to catch site of the many species we have seen on the farm. Binoculars are provided.
Maybe you'd prefer to have a campfire and weenie roast on the banks of the river? Take the picnic basket and cooler that are provided and go for a picnic along the river. Practice your casting in the San Gabriel or sit on the bank and watch the catfish and bass swim by. Make yourselves at home while you are in our care. A recent guest caught several 15" wide-mouth bass and many blue gills and said "there are hundreds of blue gill".

The studio was so comforting and inviting. It has amazing view out windows, great yard to cook out in. Interesting history of the studio of local artist. We were staying 3 nights ended up adding another one. Look forward to our next getaway at the studio, thinking winter for use of fireplace.
