Why Koti picked this home
Own the 2026 Southern Living Idea House in Fredericksburg, featuring stunning Texas Hill architecture and custom built-ins.
An exceptional opportunity to own the 2026 Southern Living Idea House, a nationally celebrated expression of Texas Hill Country architecture and inspired design. This distinctive residence built by Kurk Homes, balances architectural presence with the warmth of a graciously appointed home. The property offers 4,072sqft of combined living space, comprising a 3,457sqft main residence and 615sqft casita, with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths overall. Lueders limestone, a standing-seam metal roof, and expansive porches establish a timeless exterior. Inside, vaulted wood ceilings, Marvin windows, custom millwork, and a statement fireplace create inviting spaces for everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen pairs distinctive green quartzite with Monogram appliances, pizza oven, complemented by a butler’s pantry, wine bar, and pass-through window connecting to the outdoor living area. The thoughtfully arranged floor plan provides separation between gathering spaces and private retreats. The primary suite features dual closets and its own deck overlooking the property, walking trails, and gorgeous spring fed lake, while a dedicated study offers a quiet workspace. A separate guest wing includes two bedrooms, a shared bath, laundry area, and a welcoming cozy lounge. The casita offers a bedroom, full bath, living area, refreshment bar, and laundry, an inviting extension of the home’s accommodations. Approximately 1,789 square feet of porches and decking extend the living experience outdoors, with TimberTech decking creating a natural setting for open-air dining and unhurried evenings. A heated-and-cooled three car garage, EV charging, and a dedicated dog wash add everyday functionality. Friedën’s spring-fed lakes, scenic trails, and preserved green spaces complete the setting within Texas’ first Southern Living Inspired Community. A remarkable offering where nationally recognized design meets the enduring appeal of Hill Country living.
