If you like round and houses and primary colors, have I got the house for you. This 1998 gem in Wimberly, Texas is all painted in crayon colors and is move-in ready. 3bds, 2ba, $799,999 + $57mo. HOA fee (This place has an HOA? And, they didn't say anything about the cement gorillas guarding the door?)
Interesting, isn't it? You can't really say it's a sunken living room, but that little lip could be a trip hazard.
Each sliding door opens to it's own deck.
The realtor Photoshopped some furniture in.
Look at the kitchen lights - they remind me either of dunce caps or road cones.
This is quite the little colorful kitchen.
There's a wine rack, open shelving and a counter for everyday dining.
This is a family room that's pretty large. Very nice.
The main hall floor is painted red.
This looks like the primary bedroom. It has a vaulted ceiling and it's got it's own patio.
It also has a walk-in closet.
Bathroom #1 has a separate shower and tub.
There is an option of showering outdoors or in.
This is bedroom #2.
The 2nd bathroom is smaller, has a shower, and a cool blue glass sink.
Bedroom #3.
In this photo you can see how each set of sliding doors has a patio.
This home comes with 5.17 acres of land.

Hello Mr. Copperbadge. I live in Texas and have just moved from Houston to a town between Austin and San Antonio, which means I've driven through a very small town named Prairie Lea and every time I see the sign I think of Six Harvests in Lea, Texas. Coincidence or intentional? Either way, it's been a bright spot on the rather boring drives back and forth so thanks for putting that particular story out into the world.
Well, it's not a coincidence, but it's intentional in a different way than it seems!
Lea in the novel is actually based, geographically, on the town of Telephone, TX (now mostly a bar and a hotel). I named it Lea primarily because a lot of towns in Texas, around the time Lea was settled, were named for various local historical figures (Houston, Austin, etc). Lea was a name I turned up in googling for what names I could use; it's the maiden/middle name of Sam Houston's wife, Margaret Lea Houston. She was a Baptist and converted him to Baptist, which fits in with the Baptist origins of the town. But also Lea fit in nicely because when you are in the "lee" of something, you are protected -- the "lee side" of a ship is the side sheltered from the wind, and Lea in the book is very much a shelter for its citizens. (It's also a very quiet tribute to my stepfather, who has Lee as a family name.)
I did a quick google on Prairie Lea and sure enough, it's also named for Margaret Lea Houston -- was named for her by her husband, in fact.
So yes! Intentional in the sense that I took what I knew of Texan naming conventions of the era and applied it, but coincidence in the sense that both are named for the same woman, not one named for the other.
(Also if you're living between San Antonio and Austin, you're in my parents' neck of the woods; they live up near Belterra, north of Wimberley. Welcome! It's beautiful, weird country.)

I would like to brag about how Texas Tough I was when it came to enduring the long South Texas summer of my childhood, but the truth is that it was winter that I dreaded most. Our house was heated by a wood-burning stove in the kitchen. Overnight, the fire would die down, and by morning the house had leaked all its warmth. As a kid, my morning routine was a shiver fest: I would cast off my electric blanket, make my way to the back porch to gather firewood, sort the kindling and the tinder, and then light a fire in the stove. While I waited, I would lay my clothes on the cast iron until they were hot to the touch—sliding into them was like putting on a comforting skin. To this day, I abhor being cold. (Maybe Switzerland isn’t for me after all.)
Despite growing up in rural South Texas without air-conditioning, I don’t remember being uncomfortable in the summers, at least not in the house. The old thing was uninsulated and drafty, inviting in the sea breezes that bring thunderstorms from the Gulf to the coastal plains. After school and in the summer, I spent hours at the town library, devouring books in the delicious AC. Plus, summers just weren’t as hot in the eighties and early nineties—I know; I looked up the data. The seven hottest summers on record for DeWitt County, where I grew up, have all occurred since 1998.
It was working outdoors that made me appreciate what it means to eat by the sweat of your brow. My chores were many: ditchdigging, brush clearing, trash burning. Near the Gulf, one moves about in the soupy air like a bird drying its wings or an aging cowboy—arms apart from the body to let the pits breathe and to keep the sweat at bay. My parents were potters back then; they quite literally made a living from heat. Their studio on our little ranch had five or so electric kilns in a metal pole barn. Temperatures inside were diabolical. We burned our household trash in a fifty-gallon drum, and the rest went into a ravine, a makeshift dump where garbage was burned. We had cattle and horses and a big garden that needed tending to. Sweat was money.
When I was fourteen we moved to the Hill Country town of Wimberley. Spring-fed Blue Hole, an idyllic swimming hole on Cypress Creek, was within walking distance of our home; so was the cool Blanco River. Our tiny single-wide mobile home was cramped, but it had air-conditioning. Just like that, we had stepped into the modern era. It wasn’t the six-shooter that tamed the West; it was AC.
Recent years, though, have tested me. I had hoped—against available evidence—that the scorcher of 2011 was a black swan, a once-in-a-lifetime heat wave, but now it seems like almost every summer finds new ways to challenge my resilience and upend my expectations of the future. Like a lot of folks, I underestimated the urgency of climate change. In Elmer Kelton’s classic novel on the 1950s Texas drought, The Time It Never Rained, the main character—a stubborn rancher who has sworn he will outlast hard times—tells his son that they just need to wait long enough to see rain again. “It always did rain here, eventually. A country don’t change climate permanently, not all of a sudden.” Little did Charlie Flagg know.

- “This is truly the coolest thing I could imagine,” singer says
It was Sarah Jarosz Day in Wimberley, Texas, Nov. 22, when the I’m With Her singer/songwriter returned to her hometown to perform a sold-out solo concert.
