About 5904 Old Yoakum Road

Aptly named "Mas de L'ange" (House of the Angels), this custom-built County French home was inspired by a house of the same name near Arles in the Provence region of France. Magnificently situated on the property's highest point, it overlooks green meadows, a meditative labyrinth, two ponds, and acreage maintained as a wildlife habitat. The curving road and circular driveway lead visitors to the impressive cypress front door through which one enters the great room with its massive wooden beams supporting the cathedral ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace, slate floors, hand-plastered walls and a gorgeous wrought-iron chandelier. The heart of the home, the kitchen--with professional-grade appliances, knotty alder cabinets, breakfast bar, built-in buffet and walk-in pantry--opens to the great room, an herb garden in the front and a covered patio in the rear. The master suite, also with beamed and vaulted ceilings, has a generous sitting area, a walk-in closet and an en suite bath with a double vanity, jetted tub and separate shower. The guest suite features large closets, an en suite bath, and lovely views of the property. The third downstairs bedroom suite currently features a daybed for overflow sleeping and serves as an office. A charming half bath displays a Moroccan tile wall-mounted sink and a hand-painted mural of lavender fields. The upstairs flex space may be a fourth bedroom, home office, home gym or hobby room. Outdoor entertaining is a dream with the covered back porch, the sitting area around the tower fountain, the labyrinth and the beautiful grassy areas. The two stocked ponds may be filled from one of the two wells on the property. Deer, wild turkey, hogs and native birds are abundant in their habitat at the rear of the property. Two storage buildings provide ample space for a workshop and art studio. An exterior shower affords easy cleanup after gardening. This property is truly unique and offers the very best in luxurious country living!
