Is this the best time of the year to live in Texas or what? We are finished with SNOVID scenarios and a few months away from the 100-plus degree months. Spring is the perfect time to live in Texas.
Now that we’ve established the perfect time to live in Texas, let’s find the perfect home for the spring season.
The search didn’t take long: A 3,934-square-foot Italian villa situated comfortably on a two-acre parcel of land in the La Madera neighborhood of Aledo.

Build by local builder John Askew Homes in 2014, this predominantly single-story villa consists of four bedrooms, three-and-one-half bathrooms, four garage spaces for vehicles, and so much more. The second story features a bedroom, bathroom, and home gym.

Perfect For All Seasons
What makes the home perfect for springtime? Look no further than the large glass door that seamlessly opens onto the large covered patio — making the perfect indoor/outdoor scenario to enjoy the gentle breezes and peaceful sounds of the property.


This is certainly a COVID-friendly villa. There are so many windows and doors that open to the outside that there’s no more perfect place to hold parties and gatherings with friends and family than this home.
The patio not only opens to the family room but has a fireplace, sitting area, and of course the obligatory outdoor kitchen with grill and smoker.

If sitting and enjoying the peaceful views aren’t your thing and you want to splash around and soak up some rays, you can do that easily in the luxurious pool and spa — complete with in-pool sunning chairs.

Not to be ignored is the exquisite and open interior of this villa. Hand-scraped hardwood floors, cedar beams, architectural-appropriate archways all make the home inviting and comfortable.

Should the weather prevent you from enjoying the outdoor amenities, this home not only has a gym but a family room that makes for a private media room.

The Primary Suite
Finally, there’s the primary suite … and how sweet it is. The bedroom has large windows overlooking the outdoor amenities while the bathroom is more like walking into Willy Wonka’s factory for grown-ups.


The Italian villa at 216 Nueces Trail is listed by the ever so stylish Ida Duwe-Olsen of Williams Trew Real Estate. It is listed for $1.1 million.
