Property Description
A REMARKABLE PIECE OF TEXAS HISTORY CAN NOW BE YOUR NOLAN VALLEY COUNTRY RETREAT! Originally built by Texas Ranger, land grant recipient, & veteran of the The Republic of Texas, Edmond T. Estes, this memorable limestone residence was constructed in 1859 after, according to legend, local Indians had burned down his family's wood frame home on the same site. In 1977, new owners began a major remodel using the same stones & identical shape of the original Estes home, which can also be found memorialized as part of the mural highlighting the history of Belton along the north side of the dam. Situated on a 1.49 acre lot and surrounded by native landscaping (including the trumpet vine that graces the west wall & was planted by Estes), the main home has a large open living area that is easily divided into two, thanks to the second floor staircase. Each room has a large south facing window that floods the space with natural light while the west & east facing stone walls allow for each living area to have its own wood burning fireplace complete with mantle & hearth. While there is a bedroom downstairs with access to a full bath, the home's spacious master & 3rd bedroom are upstairs both with private ensuite baths. The welcoming kitchen has matching black appliances including a double oven & a reverse osmosis system to use with the well that has never run dry. The 1977 remodel also included the addition of an attached carport & cottage. This quaint getaway, with its own private back porch, offers a kitchenette, living/dining area, bedroom with closets, & a full bath. The breezeway between the two houses can also double as an additional carport. The discriminating eye will also take delight in the plethora of native plants & flowers that grace the property. Just minutes from shopping, schools, I-14 & I-35, this rich piece of Bell County history stands ready to embrace a new generation of memories, love and life within its timeless walls.
