This modern ranch home located in Johnson City, featured in the Hill Country Builders Association 2016 Parade Home Tour, has an open floor plan, vaulted living area with Douglas Fir beams, and spectacular views of the Texas Hill Country.

The drop-down screen for movies slides away for a panoramic view of the beautiful Texas Hill Country and the full bar and guest bath are just a few steps away. Add a pool table or shuffleboard table, […]
