Unique, custom home with rich history behind it! Constructed at the turn of the 20th century, it stands as a tribute to the grit, strength and fortitude of our ancestors’ determination and will power! It’s featured in the San Saba County Museum!
Located on 15.586 acres in Locker, San Saba County just off FM 500 not far from the famous Colorado River Regency Bridge, this home is sturdy and strong, having survived 115 years. It simply needs to be loved back to life!
Built by a stone mason who was the first country doctor to Locker and surrounding areas, this distinctive 700 SF+/- rock house was completed in 1909. It features three wood burning fireplaces, 11′ ceilings, walls 14″ thick with solid rock slabs above doorways and windows, and an inviting wrap around porch.
The original home featured four rooms; indoor plumbing was later added. Beautiful custom cedar doors accent craftmanship of wood and stone. New windows and wood flooring. Central air and heat with rural water add comfort. (Richland Springs water meter) There’s even a large cellar underneath.
The completely fenced ag exempt acreage hosts 2 tanks. A large stone patio area is great for outside activities with a nearby full-service RV hookup. A small storage shed / chicken house is located in the yard. There’s a shed with pens in one pasture of the cross fenced acreage.
A written record of Dr. S. T. Dowda building the home and his life as a country doctor in the early 1900s is a charming aspect exclusive to this property.
