Featured Listing: Glensprings Ranch
Memory is the meaning of Glensprings Ranch. It’s been both the setting and the main character for enriching the moments that family has together, in the quiet, outside the city-noise. The home was built to embrace the land, to enhance and honor the silence. Here, you’re never lonely as the longhorns graze nearby, but ever quiet, ever nourished. You and that great oak can both grow stronger with your feet in the same spring water. Sleep comes easy when the nights are still, the great windows let in the night air, and the soreness in your muscles reminds you of all the good-living you have shared in just one day.
Barndo Basics
Also known as a barn house or barndo, a barndominium is a dual- or multi-purpose structure that encompasses living space and a barn, workshop, or other workspaces under a single roof. Barndos are popular as no-frills buildings on recreational properties—complete with living quarters, a kitchen and even room for a few all-terrain vehicles and tractors.

Currently, inventory is tight. Buyers are anxiously waiting to purchase a suitable property when it becomes available. In several instances, Bownds has sold multi-million-dollar ranches before he’s even had a chance to have photos taken. A limited inventory means that buyers don’t have the luxury of long deliberations.
