Who Lives Here?
The Country Modern
Space Seekers
Picture the remote workers who wanted horses, a real backyard, and neighbors they can't see from their kitchen. One works from home for a Fortune 500, the other homeschools their three kids. They escaped the suburbs for genuine Texas living - star-filled skies, room to roam, and a 30-minute drive to anything they need.
