As the sun sets on the Brazos it cast it's hues of the evening across the tops of the swaying grasses at the Star E Ranch, 65.37 undulating acres located west of Weatherford near the Lambert Switch. Oak, Elm, Cottonwoods offer wildlife habitat and shady areas for the young Red Angus calves bawling for some "cow candy". The intermittent stream wanders through the treeline, feeding the stock tank where grassy banks wait. This is life on the Star E....serene yet purposeful and always pleasing... offering a place for family and friends to gather or a retreat from it all. The ranch is graced with an inviting entrance of stone and cedar stays and as the gate swings open the gravel ranch road beckons you to "come on in". Pastures on both sides of the lane are usually dotted with ranch livestock or whitetail deer. A beautiful restored 1939 red barn is nestled in trees to the right. And then....you are at "headquarters". An artfully crafted Sante Fe style compound offers a welcome to "come stay awhile". The main house offers a spacious open concept kitchen, living, dining area that opens onto the covered patio for additional entertaining options. The living area has a large fireplace with hearth for cozy evening fires. Adjacent is a spacious office with french doors. This is a two bedroom home designed as the owner's retreat with one large bedroom en suite and a smaller bedroom/craft room and guest bathroom nearby. Family gathers in the kitchen around the granite island and bar. This kitchen is designed for cooking and entertaining offering top of the line appliances and ample work space. A mudroom with bonus desk and a handy laundry room are off of the garage. This home exudes warmth with a western flair.
Walk through the back door to the covered porch and walkway to what is called "the bunkhouses". The original home and additional bunkhouse are a step back in time, beautifully maintained but of a different era. The knotty pine with scalloped edges along the ceiling, the beams and wooden floors and quaint lighting have everyone gathering at the round table off the kitchen to play games or sit around the fireplace for some storytelling.
