Just 35± minutes west of Houston and north of Brookshire lies the 221 Farm, a 90± acre estate steeped in Texas heritage. Formerly known as the Buller Ranch, this property is recognized by the Texas Department of Agriculture as a Family Land Heritage Ranch and exemplifies the balance between historical preservation and modern rural luxury.
The circa 1934 farmhouse was fully renovated in 2019 by Jake Houseberg Homes and Virginia Kelsey Architects, maintaining its traditional charm while incorporating thoughtful updates throughout. The three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence features custom woodwork, vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows that bring natural light and countryside views into every room. The pointed arches at the entry evoke an old country chapel, while the living room’s wood-burning fireplace and screened porch with a firepit and pizza oven offer inviting spaces for gathering.
Two one-bedroom cottages and a three-bedroom foreman’s home complete the property, creating a versatile compound suitable for family, guests, or staff housing.
The 24-stall barn, designed by Dillon Kyle Architects and built in 2019, is a remarkable structure in both aesthetics and function. It features Rocking J stalls, air-conditioned tack rooms, a feed room, and a bathroom, all strategically designed to optimize airflow and comfort.
The land is characterized by sandy loam soils, open pastures, and wooded sections that support thriving wildlife populations, including white-tailed deer, quail, and dove. With two ponds, three wells, underground utilities, and excellent elevation above the floodplain, 221 Farm offers beauty, functionality, and enduring value—all within reach of Houston’s westward growth corridor.
