Cool Water Ranch was selected for the Progressive Farmer magazines site of an Idea House and Farmstead in 2007. This annual project has been done in select communities in the south and this was the fifth such home to be built across America. The Progressive Farmer has recognized the trend of families seeking a rural lifestyle. In an effort to promote this trend, the magazine showcases a rural area through the sponsorship and building of a new country home.

These new country homes are built with the most modern designs and style. The home design developed by Mark Carlson, AIA of Cornerstone Group Architects in Austin is in style of Hill Country Vernacular. The home is situated perfectly on 8 wooded acres in Cool Water Ranch and consists of 4,000 square feet of heated and cooled space with three large bedrooms, two full baths and two half baths, an office, family room, study hall, an attached 1 bedroom 1 bath guest Casita, three car garage. Outdoor patios and porches wrap the home to soak up the outdoor beautiful setting at Cool Water Ranch. Additional land is available for sale.
