Come see THE SHELBY, comprised of seven buildings built between the early 1800 s and 1980 and located on 4 beautifully landscaped acres, surrounded by a pretty iron fence, in the quaint community of Shelby, approximately 8 miles from Round Top. You can own a piece of Texas history! The recently renovated HOMESTEAD is a charming 2,430 sq. ft. two-story home with high ceilings, wood walls and floors, a very large remodeled country kitchen, 3 huge bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a butler s pantry, and a parlor with lots of windows. This house is the cornerstone of the property. Nearby is the CARRIAGE HOUSE, which houses two vintage… Show more horse-drawn carriages (negotiable). Upstairs is an adorable one-room apartment (sitting area, kitchen, and bedroom) with separate bath and clawfoot tub. The log CHAPEL, built in the 1980 s, has a wonderful front door from a mission church in Mexico, wrought iron light fixtures and ceiling fans, cedar church pews and pulpit, magnificent stained glass windows and an antique church bell. The chapel is a popular venue for charming country weddings. The 5,500 sq. ft. INN, built in the 1800 s, once housed drummers selling to the local mercantile stores. The ballroom/dancehall, which occupies the entire 2nd floor, has hosted many dances and wedding receptions. There was even a bar in the root/wine cellar. A recent remodel has created two 3-bedroom, 1-bath, suites and a large common parlor on the main floor. We are just getting started. A 1,075 sq. ft. SCHOOL HOUSE has been converted into a cozy guest house. The main floor is living area with a kitchen and bathroom. In the open loft is a sizeable bedroom which will accommodate two double beds. A huge school bell hangs from a tower nearby. Next to that is a 1,294 sq. ft. TEXAS RANCH HOUSE with a long covered front porch and smaller back porch, a nicely sized eat-in kitchen, sitting room, bedroom and bath. And finally, the oldest structure on the property, ALEX'S COUNTRY MERCANTILE, operated as a Republic of Texas Post Office from 1836 to 1846, then became a combination barber shop, post office and country store until 1962. This structure has the potential for being the most unique antique store anywhere around. The current owner remodeled all of the buildings and landscaped the grounds and began her dream to operate a bed and breakfast and wedding facility. However, life happens and her plans have changed. So this is your opportunity. Live here and have the best of the best or open your own business. Let us hear from you right away. The property is also available as 5 structures on 3 acres for $525,000 and 2 structures on 1 acre for $195,500. Call for details.
