A Storybook Retreat in the Heart of Temple - Imagine arriving to your new castle being greeted by a circular driveway with hand-laid brick pavers, decorative fish ponds—one home to koi, the other to goldfish—and scenic benches for peaceful reflection. With no backyard neighbors, your only company will be the gentle rustling of the trees and the tranquil sounds of the nearby creek. Step into a world of timeless charm and architectural elegance with one-of-a-kind Tudor-style estate, nestled on 2.8 acres in the prestigious Cliffs of Canyon Creek. Designed with the stately grandeur of an Irish or Scottish castle, this custom-built home is a rare gem in Central Texas. From its antique chimney caps to the intricate brickwork and stone-laid driveway, every detail reflects Old World craftsmanship blended seamlessly with modern comforts. The sprawling 6-bedroom, 4.5-bath residence offers an inviting sense of warmth and grandeur, with soaring 20-foot ceilings, a breathtaking circular foyer, and a dramatic leaded glass entry. The great room is anchored by a striking 25-foot custom brick fireplace (wood burning generating up to 40K BTU's/hour), custom mahogany cabinetry, and intricate parquet flooring add layers of sophistication throughout. Enjoy the flexibility of having not only a primary suite downstairs but the option of an additional In-law Suite on the main level as well. Beyond the main residence, a private wooded escape awaits. Follow the private drive to a charming guest cabin tucked away in the trees—perfect for a true princess castle, or fun for camp nights out with the kids, a home office, or creative sanctuary. This extraordinary home is a rare find—a seamless blend of character, craftsmanship, and natural beauty. If you’ve been searching for an estate to claim for your castle while still wanting the comforts of home, look no further. The Throne Awaits, and So Does Your Castle!!!
