The original maids quarters upstairs has been repurposed into a luxury closet which doubles as a laundry room. At the back of the home is the original limestone "barracks" structure which now houses a workshop, several storage rooms and another outdoor full bath. There is also a delightful "chauffeurs cottage" attached to the 2 car garage with a full bath which could make a lovely home office or guest suite. The Fort has miles of wooded nature trails along Las Moras creek perfect for hiking, biking and birding and then there's the famous Las Moras Spring fed pool, the 3rd largest spring fed swimming pool in Texas and the 9th largest natural spring in Texas. There is also a fitness center, art club, gun range, fly-in airport, 18 hole golf course and much more.
