The Preserve 833

White oak, limestone, and Roman clay on a Hill Country knoll.

On a 3.28-acre knoll at Boot Ranch, Fredericksburg, this single-level house looks 180 degrees over a 100-acre wildlife preserve. Oversized metal-and-wood-clad windows and doors open the 20-foot-high living, dining, and kitchen spaces to the view. White oak floors and custom white oak millwork by local artisans set the base for iron, brass, limestone, porcelain, Roman clay, and marble. The garage can take an 848-square-foot guest suite above.
