400 Kandus Cove Some homes are built. This one was designed around a story. Before the first wall went up at 400 Kandus Cove, there were the doors. Salvaged from a historic bank, these extraordinary antique entry doors became the soul of this custom China Spring estate — and the owners designed and built every square foot of this home to honor them. The result is a residence that feels both rooted in history and completely, luxuriously livable. Nestled in the sought-after Hills of Childress community, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home delivers the kind of peaceful, unhurried lifestyle that Central Texas buyers search for... where the pace slows down, the views open up, and home actually feels like a retreat. This is quiet cove living at its finest: no through traffic, genuine community feel, and the rolling Central Texas Hill Country unfolding right from your own back decks. The outdoor living here is genuinely exceptional. Full-width covered decks on both the upper and lower levels create a layered indoor-outdoor experience that lets you take in those sweeping hill country views from morning coffee to evening sunsets — no matter the season. A workshop with electricity adds serious functionality for the hobbyist, the craftsman, or anyone who values having real working space on their property. Inside, the transitional, elevated traditional design speaks to buyers who appreciate timeless style with modern sensibility — where warm, intentional finishes meet thoughtful layout and every space feels like it was designed to be lived in, not just admired. Custom-designed, one-of-a-kind build. Homes like this — where the story, the setting, and the quality of life all align — don't come along often in China Spring. If you've been searching for something that feels genuinely different, you owe it to yourself to walk through those doors.
