New! Spacious midcentury steps from the square in La Grange +15 min to Round Top

Welcome to The Legendary, our beautifully restored mid century modern historic home just off the charming courthouse square in La Grange, TX.

The Legendary is named for its original owner Sheriff Jim Flournoy. Built in the 1950s for Sheriff Jim and his wife Gladys, this charming home is centrally located in downtown La Grange which kept the legendary lawman within walking (or horse riding!)distance to his office in the old jail and the county courthouse.

Situated on a quiet, oversized lot filled with heritage oaks and a large inviting back yard, this spacious home and small town retreat offers the peaceful, private feeling of being on the edge of town. Conveniently, it is also a short three blocks away from the charming downtown square where you can dine, shop local antiques and boutiques, visit the Texas heroes museum in the historic jail (lots more on Sheriff Jim there!) or stop by the beautiful Fayette County courthouse for a walk through history. Or simply grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine on the square and enjoy small town living. The house is also within walking distance of the KC Hall which offers events throughout the year. Also a few minutes walk away is the Colorado River. Several wineries are just a short drive away and a scenic 16 mile drive gets you out to Round Top for dining, dancing and antiquing to your heart’s delight!

This home has been recently and beautifully restored with the comforts of home but the feeling of a retreat in mind. With over 2300 square feet of living space, this home is roomy and tranquil. The great room is designed for relaxing and spending time with the ones you love. The three bedrooms are spacious and the two and a half bathrooms beautifully updated. The backyard is an oversized oasis with a large covered patio with a grill, fan and festive string lights for outdoor living. It is the perfect place to have your morning coffee and listen to the birds as you watch for the deer who frequently graze across the field beyond the backyard. In the evening, come back to gather around the fire pit or play some backyard corn hole while you bbq with your friends and family.

We have designed and decorated our home to honor the life and legacy of Sheriff Jim Flournoy who served as Fayette County Sheriff from 1946-1980. Also called “Big Jim”, La Grange residents who grew up with Big Jim in charge remember the towering 6’4” or 6’7” depending on who you asked as legends go, lawman always had a silverbelly cowboy hat on his head, handmade cowboy boots on his feet, and butterscotch in his pocket to offer them. He spent 60 years of his life in law enforcement holding the honor of being the longest serving Fayette County Sheriff. During his early law enforcement career, Sheriff Jim was responsible for jailing a notorious member of Bonnie and Clyde’s gang. Then in the 1970s and 80s, he gained Hollywood notoriety when Burt Reynolds played a character based on his likeness in a campy movie that told the story of the Chicken Ranch and Big Jim’s fight to keep a local legend alive and to teach city folks to mind their own business. Before becoming sheriff, Big Jim served as a Texas Ranger for two years during World War II and was inducted into the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame. He was a man of his time: a no nonsense cattleman, a larger than life lawman, and a La Grange legend.

So get away and experience a little piece of Fayette County history and relax at our small town retreat. We hope you enjoy your stay at The Legendary.

Perfect!!
Love this home!! It is the perfect place to stay, everything is so welcoming and inviting. It was easy to move around in and allowed everyone space, allowed for people with mobility issues. Kitchen was great for cooking and gathering, outdoor areas were relaxing and allowed for easy conversations. This home is by far the best property we have rented alone or with couples , in all the years we have been getting together.Love this place, will definitely rent again and would not mind buying this to live in permanently! Neat, clean,easy flow, comfortable, you cant go wrong with this home!!
