Architect Jeff Basehore is a specialist when it comes to bringing nature into country homes. That’s evident in a Texas dwelling Basehore built in 2000.
An article about a Texas Hill Country home, featured in Metropolitan Living Magazine, was the inspiration behind the 15-year-old Basehore home that just hit the market.
Situated on about 50 acres in Hawkins, Texas — about an hour and 45 minutes outside of Dallas — this 6,233-square-foot home has three bedrooms with prime views of the outdoors.

Made entirely of aluminum siding, the main house has 3,773 square feet of space, including a 30-foot-high, screened-in porch with panoramic views of the heavily wooded lot. The property also includes a 1,200-square-foot caretaker house, a 960-square-foot guest house and a private lake.
The home’s style merges contemporary design with rustic country-style elements. In addition to the home’s modern aluminum exterior, its interior showcases stained cement floors with a contemporary pattern, as well as a wide-open floorplan.
