A rich history is embedded in this land and was once the location for the first institute of higher education in Texas. The Rutersville College was founded in 1837, by Martin Ruter of which the college and the township were named for. Also, a Texas Historical Commissioned marker setting states this property is the site of the first Methodist Annual Conference in Texas. With abundant Oak/Pecan trees and a pond, the Austin-stone home has been enjoyed over the years by happy families. The staging of the sunset viewing is complete with white pillars that accent the front porch running the width of the home façade, with chairs in place for your morning coffee and enjoying the hilltop breezes and super views. Entering the front lead-glassed double doors, you will enjoy the high cathedral expanse, floor-to-ceiling windows, a north- walled rock wood-burning/gas fireplace, Saltillo tiled flooring and a spacious loft bedroom/bath area. A split floorplan with the Living/Dining/Kitchen living space area open via French doorway to the sunroom that also serves as a huge Dining Room and with access to the huge open-aired Pavilion covered outdoor space with outdoor cooking/entertaining pool side area to enjoy.
