Hidden Gem on the prairie, a house of light and ease

Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space.
Get away from it all and immerse yourself in nature from the comfort of a distinctive modernist home, where floor-to-ceiling windows and soaring ceilings bring the outdoors in, affording endless views across the rolling landscape of fields, woodlands, and wildlife.

Greet sunrise from the expansive bedroom with two luxe queen-sized tempurpedic beds, one with massage functions. Unwind in the spa-like ambiance, with two bathrooms separated by a unique, open double shower featuring multiple jets and hand-held shower heads. Luxuriate alone or with your partner in the deep, two-person tub with jets.

Enjoy meals at the large handmade table in the spacious, open-plan kitchen/dining/living room. Begin your day with eggs fresh from the chicken coop. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped and generously provisioned with beyond-basic cooking essentials.

A large, cushy sectional sofa beckons for reading and conversation, but don’t feel surprised if you fall into a dreamy nap. Or kick back on the deck, shaded by live oaks. Count the variety of birds flying by or stopping at the feeders. The resident deer tends to wander by every afternoon; you can feed her by hand if you like.

While most guests come to unwind, unplug, and recharge, the library does have a television set with access to the internet.

Peaceable Kingdom encompasses 30 acres. Explore the rolling landscape on trails through woods and fields, along streams and ponds. Marvel at the architectural follies and large-scale sculptures strewn across the land. Stroll through our extensive gardens.

There are four other homes spread across on the property, each with their own acreage. Your guesthouse is set away from the others in a private glade. You’ll be left to enjoy your own space, but your hosts will be on call should you need assistance with anything.

Peaceable Kingdom is the perfect place to put away your devices, disconnect, and recharge your mind. Cell phone and internet access is very weak to non-existent at the guest house, but you can get stronger connectivity near the office at the center of the property.

The nearest town, historic Navasota, is about 8 miles away; there you’ll find a supermarket, several restaurants, and some shops. The larger town of Brenham—Washington’s county seat—has more stores and restaurants. Texas A&M in College Station is 23 miles away. The antique wonderland of Round Top is only 43 miles away.

We are dog-friendly; feel free to bring your house-trained dog to stay with you. Your pup should remain on leash when you’re hiking the trails to protect our wildlife. Your pup can be off leash if under voice control. There’s also a large, shaded pen so Fido can safely enjoy being outdoors. Several large, friendly dogs live at Peaceable Kingdom, and you might cross paths with them as you explore the property.
