Leave it to Texas to figure out how to make a barn chic.
Known as Arch Stanton Ranch, the property is spotted with “rare, historically significant restored antique barns,” according to Dolch.
The wood-focused features from within the home and the multiple buildings on the property make it ripe for events and playing host to a large group of people. With three barns, two corrals and an 8-car garage, there’s plenty of ways to make room.

One of the most expensive properties on the Austin market is Lake Austin Ranch, across the river from the Austin Country Club.
Located just 30 minutes northwest of Austin on the Colorado River, Compass’ Dolch calls it “one of the last opportunities to own a large tract,” featuring hills covered in trees like pecan, oaks and cypress.
The recreational spot also includes an eight-slip marina and hidden gems like a pirate ship. God Bless Texas, indeed.
