146 -- Metzger Rd A rare opportunity to own a private Hill Country estate on 7.18 acres just blocks from the heart of Fredericksburg. Designed with exceptional attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, this custom residence blends timeless architecture with thoughtfully incorporated reclaimed historic materials, creating warmth, character, and enduring style throughout. A gated entrance welcomes you to the property, where the home is tucked behind a grove of mature Sycamores, offering an immediate sense of privacy and tranquility. The arrival experience continues inside the striking entry, featuring walls constructed of re-salvaged limestone and reclaimed brick flooring — an introduction to the craftsmanship carried throughout the residence. Vaulted ceilings, reclaimed wood beams, refinished longleaf pine floors, reclaimed brick accents, and a full masonry Rumford fireplace anchor the light-filled living spaces with understated sophistication. The kitchen reflects classic, timeless design with a light-drenched layout featuring a butcher block island, soapstone countertops, Wolf 6-burner range, and walk-in pantry accented with antique details — equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a sunroom overlooking the patio provides an inviting space to relax, dine, or gather while enjoying views of the surrounding landscape. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a Victoria + Albert soaking tub, glass-enclosed rain shower, dual vanities, and direct access to a large screened-in porch. The home's thoughtful layout also includes a private secondary guest suite, along with two additional bedrooms connected by a well-appointed shared bath, creating comfortable accommodations while maintaining privacy throughout. Outdoor amenities create a private resort atmosphere, including a double lap lane pool with tiled push wall, expansive circular swimming area, spa, limestone fire pit, and beautifully landscaped grounds supported by multiple water sources, rainwater collection, and irrigation systems. Additional improvements include an enclosed two-car garage, separate covered parking for four vehicles, solar panels, aviary, chicken coops, and thoughtfully maintained acreage. With no HOA and a location just moments from Fredericksburg's historic Main Street, this property represents a rare offering where craftsmanship, privacy, and timeless Hill Country living come together in a setting designed to be enjoyed for generations.
