非凡的庄园巧妙地结合了历史、功能和宁静之美。 Sisterdale Farms 是一个高产的 310+/- 英亩低围栏活水牧场,位于肯德尔县。它完美地位于伯尔尼和弗雷德里克斯堡之间的 Sisterdale 路,距离圣安东尼奥国际机场不到一小时车程。这个牧场的名胜,坐落在柏树成荫的瓜达卢佩河稀有而美丽的河岸山谷中,充满了过去的历史和文化。奥特马尔·冯·贝尔男爵于 1847 年在这里定居,并以德克萨斯州的姐妹代尔命名。 Von Behr 接待了几位杰出的访客,其中一位是美国景观设计师、记者、社会评论家和公共行政人员 Frederick Law Olmstead。奥姆斯特德被公认为纽约市中央公园的设计师之一。实际上,他在他的书《德克萨斯之旅》中写到了这个姐妹谷牧场,或者他称之为德克萨斯拉丁定居点。原来的宅基地被带回了原来的生活,除了有一点改变外,业主增加了一个完整的美食厨房、洗衣房和两个完整的浴室,以符合形式、合身和风格的传统,以配合其余的部分家。使用熟练的工匠,这座房子被拆除到原始的油漆、清漆、污渍和可追溯到 1840 年代后期的地板上,包括房屋周围的谷仓。
主要住宅由 Don McDonald 于 2015 年设计和建造,坐落于悬崖之上,依偎在风景如画的海岸田野、放养池塘、瓜达卢佩河蜿蜒的柏树线和原始农庄的景观中。麦克唐纳是一位住在圣安东尼奥的 AIA 建筑师,他设计的庄园利用了该地区的文化、历史和传统建筑材料。像麦当劳这样的设计师,从设计和施工中汲取真正的乐趣。其结果是一个植根于它所建造的土地的结构,但它既有趣又独特,可以满足每个人的独特需求。房子的构成和组织在视觉上是模棱两可的,因此允许看似无意的浪漫主义,以自然和风景如画的方式呈现。这所房子的设计类似于一个古老的德国定居点,由三座建筑组成一个设计。外部由带有嘲讽接缝的铰接式岩石组成,支撑着一块被称为 Sisterdale 石灰石的粗石场。硬木手工劈开的木瓦风化成银灰色,与该地区 19 世纪的柏木木瓦和带鞘屋顶相呼应。室内和室外空间和谐地联系在一起,提供开放、现代的生活和娱乐,同时允许规模、亲密和个性的对比。
从汽车球场,客人下到美丽的前门,前门通向两个长海湾凉廊之一,可以看到并穿过精致的餐厅,可以欣赏到远山乡村的景色。左翼凉廊将您带到主厨的厨房,厨房通向带窗户的家庭活动室、地下酒窖、家庭办公室、杂物间和另外两间客房。右翼凉廊将您带到美丽的正式客厅、图书馆、主人休息室和楼上的儿童翼。由 Dwaine Simpson 和 Roy Bellows 设计的整个家庭都有手工制作的灯具、机械格栅和硬件。由 Russ Thayer 建造的手工雕刻壁炉和比萨饼烤箱装饰着家中最常用的空间,包括主卧室和浴室、餐厅、正式客厅和厨房。这个独一无二的住宅还拥有独立的客房和办公室,可 360 度欣赏美景。这个令人惊叹的牧场肯定能满足最挑剔的买家的需求。
Extraordinary estate artfully uniting history, function, and tranquil beauty. Sisterdale Farms is a highly productive 310+/- acre low-fenced, live water ranch located in Kendall County. It is perfectly situated between Boerne and Fredericksburg on Sisterdale Road, just under an hour from the San Antonio International Airport. This showplace of a ranch, set within the rare and beautiful riparian valley of the cypress lined Guadalupe River is bursting with history and culture of days past. Baron Ottmar Von Behr settled here in 1847 and gave Sisterdale Texas her name. Von Behr hosted several distinguished visitors, one of which was Frederick Law Olmstead, an American landscape architect, journalist, social critic, and public administrator. Olmstead was recognized as one of the designers of Central Park in New York City. He actually wrote about this Sisterdale ranch, or Texas Latin Settlement as he called it, in his book A Journey Through Texas. The original homestead was brought back to life as it was intended except with a twist, the owners added a full gourmet kitchen, laundry room and two full baths in keeping with the tradition of form, fit, and style to go with the rest of the home. Using skilled craftsmen, the house was taken down to the original paints, varnishes, stains, and flooring dating back to the late 1840s, including the barns surrounding the home.
The main residence, both designed and built by Don McDonald in 2015, is perched atop a bluff, nestled into the landscape overlooking a picturesque Coastal field, a stocked pond, the twisting cypress line of the Guadalupe River and the original farmstead. McDonald, an AIA architect based in San Antonio, designs estates that utilize the culture, history, and traditional building materials of the region. Designers such as McDonald, extract real pleasure from both design and construction. The result is a structure rooted in the land upon which it is built, yet playful and idiosyncratic to the unique needs of each individual. The composition and organization of the house is visually ambiguous, thus allowing for seemingly unintentional romanticism, rendered in a natural and picturesque manner. This home was designed to resemble an old German settlement consisting of three buildings formed into one design. The exterior, consisting of articulated rock work with taunt seams support a field of coarse stone known as Sisterdale Limestone. Hardwood hand split shingles weathered to a silver-grey echo the region’s 19th century cypress shingles and sheath roofs. The indoor and outdoor spaces are harmoniously linked, providing for open, modern living and entertaining while allowing for contrasts in scale, intimacy and personality.
From the motor court, guests descend to the beautiful front doors that open to one of two long bay loggias looking into and through the exquisite dining room with long range hill country views. The leftwing loggia leads you to the chef’s kitchen open to the family room with walls of windows, an underground wine cellar, home office, utility room and two additional guest suites. The rightwing loggia leads you to the beautiful formal living room, library, master retreat, and upstairs children’s wing. There are hand crafted light fixtures, mechanical grilles and hardware throughout the home designed by Dwaine Simpson and Roy Bellows. The hand carved fireplaces and pizza oven constructed by Russ Thayer, adorn the most used spaces of the home to include the master bedroom and bath, dining room, formal living room, and kitchen. This one of a kind home also boasts a separate guest house and office with 360 degree views. This stunning ranch is sure to meet the needs of the most discriminating buyer.
