About this property

Countryside Farmhouse, backporch breezes, hillside views, and in Walburg!

Top of the Hill Farmhouse is located in the heart of the small historic community of Walburg. This house boasts two large covered porches perfect for taking in a fresh breeze and watching nature thrive all around. Or one could enjoy a sunrise or a sunset famous in the heart of Texas. Small town atmosphere close to dining and entertainment.

The recently renovated craftsman style home offers tons of natural lighting with large windows, and spaciously appointed rooms. The house also has blackout curtains for privacy and sleeping in. This family-friendly home has a fully equipped kitchen, as well as games, books, and a smart television with the option of signing in to your favorite subscriptions. The house offers 2 large bedrooms with queen sized beds as well as two full sized bathrooms with toiletries provided. The living room has an electric wood burning stove that provides heat or just ambiance with a flames only option. The living room also offers a coffee table that pops up for extra dinner seating or dinner and a movie style relaxation. The living room also offers a sleeper style sofa for extra guests.

For those needing inspiration, ample work space, or a wonderful place to keep the kids busy, discover the nook-style breakfast room. It has several large windows overlooking rolling green hills. The breakfast room also has a large elevated work desk and wifi connectivity.

The home itself sits on over 1.5 acres and has several outbuildings to include a garden house, a detached garage that houses an antique 8N tractor, a 100 year old red barn and a newer style horse barn. These outbuilding are not for access due to safety reasons for guests and for the sustainability of the property itself. We require that guests do not access out buildings or cross over fences in place. We have video surveillance of off limits areas only to protect our animals and property. Please only access the house, the yard immediately surrounding the house, or the driveway. Guests may occasionally see from the porch the resident chickens roaming about on insect patrol or strategically hiding eggs in the shrubs. Our guesthouse also features 2 horses that were rescued from slaughter, they may look over the fence and smack their lips at you beckoning you to feed them a treat. Please do not approach or feed any of the resident animals as they all have special needs/diets that must be maintained.
The home itself also features an elaborate system for rain water collection used for supplemental watering of animals and garden areas beyond the barn. This system has several holding tanks throughout the property. Guests can see from the porch there is an Aeromotor Windmill beyond the barns that can be utilized in the event of a power outage to maintain our animal's well-being.

Had a short amount of time to get a little stress relief and visit with an old friend. Your home did not disappoint. Would love to return again sometime.

Perfect Little Getaway
We loved this little old farm house, equipped with games to play as a family and a large table we could all eat at. We also enjoyed the original details such as built in cabinetry and covered porches. The owner was very accommodating and we had a great time visiting with family.

Nice place to stay away from the hectic city
It was so nice to stay out away from the busyness and noise of Georgetown, Round Rock and Austin yet Georgetown and Round Rock are 10 - 15 minutes away. Walburg is a cute and small town. The views from the back of the house and the back porch were pastoral and relaxing. The house affords plenty of room for multiple people and long stays. The host was helpful and responded quickly to all of our questions.

Quick trip to Georgetown
We loved staying in this wonderful country home. We were in town for the Two Step Inn festival in Georgetown and had the best stay. The owners were very accommodating and responsive.
