In the quiet of Creek Road Ranch, 250 McKellar rests on 2 private acres where the Hill Country still feels unhurried. Mature live & red oaks frame the house before opening to long-distance views that make the setting feel both protected & boundless. The architecture belongs to the landscape. Hand-hewn Tennessee chink logs, Louisiana cypress board & batten, and native limestone give the home a storied presence—as if it grew from the land rather than being placed upon it.

Behind the house, the pool & waterfall, hot tub & fire pit create an inviting outdoor living area, w music from the outdoor speakers filling the space w/out competing w the surroundings. Inside, 14-foot walls & vaulted ceilings open the rooms to light & air. Oak floors run underfoot, & a wood-burning stone fireplace w gas assist anchors the living space. A window-wrapped dining room makes even a weeknight dinner feel considered. The kitchen is built for someone who cooks: a Thermador range w griddle & steam oven, a hidden appliance cabinet, a wine fridge, and Newport Brass and Kohler fixtures. The primary suite is quieter still, w vaulted ceilings & a bath that feels like a retreat. A soaking tub sits before a beautiful view, turning an ordinary evening into something slower. A separate living wing offers 3 bdrms & its own gathering space—an easy arrangement for guests or family. 1 bedroom has a private bath; the other 2 share a generous connecting bath. Away from the main house, a 742-square-foot conditioned shop w water & power is ready to become a studio, workshop, or living quarters. A small barn w a fenced turnout, water & power sits on the other side of the property. DSISD, DS Water & PEC complete a setting that is both rare & remarkably complete.
