Took a shortcut and look what we found !

We took a shortcut back to the freeway on 

the "Old Fredericksburg Road" and found this lovely place ... all deserted, but still beautiful.

 The large iron gate had many interesting features ... a little bit of rust only added to the charm. 











The fence was made of native Texas stones and honeycomb rocks ... 
  

and the fence went on forever on both sides of the gate.

I did not see any cracks in the wall. 

They just don't build them like this anymore. 
Some of those stones are HUGE.
 

(That honeycomb rock at the bottom, looks like a skeleton face).

When I peaked over the fence ...

... this is what I saw and WANTED !!!
 

because 

... just look at this ... 

... a balcony with French doors

  ... likely off the master bedroom.

and this ...

  

... those roof tiles and oh my ... that chimney

two old metal chairs under those awesome large oak trees.

... what stories they could tell !!!

I would really love to live there ... (if I were younger).

now you see why I WANTED it.

beautiful house and a wonderful rock fence. 

Glad we took this shortcut. 

Hope you enjoyed seeing this outstanding Texas rock fence.
