This Texas Hill country getaway was redesigned to hold a growing family that needed more room. Texas Architect Trey Rabke reimagined his family's getaway, since he was coming to as a child, to fit into the surrounding 90 acres it sat upon. Rabke maintained the original spirit of the cabin and built on the original footprint; keeping one important feature, the long, deep porch bookend by a massive rough-sewn limestone hearth. To keep with the region he used native cypress for construction, and even galvanized water troughs for bathtubs. Even though it is a new house, it still has the same since of family as the first cabin.

I remember seeing this in Garden & Gun and loved this place! I really like how the architect incorporated so many natural elements into the structure. It totally reflects the location in which it resides.
I saw this in G&G too and like it. It's clear that a talented eye can take simple materials and make something beautiful.
What an incredible place...lucky for me I live close enough to go check it out. Would make a great setting for a girl's getaway!
What a heavenly place to spend some lazy summer days! Also, living in the north, I had never heard of Garden and Gun but now I'm excited to check it out. Thanks for sharing!
Love that bathtub.

this place makes me giddy. That long table on the patio, swoon.
Love this, I am putting the opics into my ranch house design book, for the house we will build one day.

It's so beautiful! I love the how the outdoor spaces and indoor spaces are merged. The mix of industrial metal and warm wood. Makes me want to move to Texas.
I love the last picture... I'd love to take that walk to my cabin. I need that back porch...
Love so many of the design details that they implemented.
Great ranch!
