Master Gardener Tour Part Two: Breathtaking Views

Rustic Modern Home, Breathtaking Views: Master Gardener Tour

Last week I showed you all the creative upcycled items and salvaged containers in the first house on the Master Gardener Home Tour. Today is a stunning home with breathtaking views.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

It’s probably worth noting that where we live there isn’t a ton of elevation changes, that’s part of why this house is so spectacular, it’s hard to believe this is in our town. It feels other worldly!

As you walk up the curving drive you see a gorgeous sleek and modern yet rustic and woodsy house peeking it’s peak from behind layers and layers of juxtapose textures and shade of green.  Rock retaining walls look so natural, as if they had been there all along. As they should!Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

This home is rich in succulents and drought tolerant plants. They add such an interesting texture to the landscape and the crafty way they spread themselves in clumps is fun to see.   Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

As you meander around the large planting beads you have a surprise with every turn. This landscape is a testament to the fact that your plant palette doesn’t need to be filled with showy bloomers to make an impressive impact.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

A metal bridge spans a dramatic dry river bed that I am sure fills with natural run off in a rain storm to fill the thirsty lake at the bottom of the hillside.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

From here you begin to see the view this home enjoys. As you overlook the pastureland you see horses and a gorgeous barn in the distance. Next you eyes land on the exotic deer the owner breeds laying lazily by the lake.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

Past the deer is the first glimpse of the muddy Brazos River running past and hiding behind a small patch of forest only to come out the other side offering another exquisite view from the home.  The house sits on an Ox Bow of the Brazos.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

Neatly lined rows of the Pecan Tree Orchard quickly catch your eye as you look out over the expansive property.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

The swimming pool on this property is the perfect mix of blurring the lines between modern, clean lines and natural landscape elements.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

The infinity edge pool spills over into a limestone pool seating area.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

The beautiful story is how long the owners have had this land, they have been evolving and improving it since the 70’s and this is actually their second home on the property. I like this story because it makes me hopeful to know while my home looks nothing like this today it’s all about the constant desire to grow and improve what you have…this is proof of endurance and vision.Visit the garden of a sleek rustic modern home with breathtaking views around every corner, agave and native vegetation, infinity pool and pecan orchard all overlook the Brazos River in the distance.

I could have sat all day and taken in that view but I had baseball games calling my name back to reality. So off I went to have ballpark nachos for dinner for what feels like the 100th time this month, but I cheered on my loves with sweet visions and goals for tomorrow. I am hopeful you have your sights set too friend. If you want to learn more about Gardening or are interested in joining the Master Gardener program, look for the one in your area.

      Isn’t it gorgeous! Because I know just enough about plants to be dangerous, but not all the details here is what my master gardener friend said about the plant: The plant is Cuphea micropetala- a cold-tender perennial in our area. It likes warmer climates, so is not frequently seen here, but if planted strategically for protection from cold, just might make it. Also called candy corn plant, firecracker plant.
      Hope that helps!
