Plantage Monte Verdi

Step back in time and immerse
yourself in the rich history of this Greek Revival masterpiece, constructed in
the 1850’s for Julien Sidney Devereux that he named Monte Verdi meaning “Green
Mountain”, this sprawling property spans over 100 acres.  This stunning property, listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, boasts not one, but three Texas
Historical Markers, making it a true gem for history enthusiasts and
architecture aficionados alike.

As you approach the house, you’ll
be captivated by its timeless elegance and the stories whispered by its walls.
The main home, proudly bearing a Texas Historical Landmark designation, stands
as a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Alongside it, the Old
Birdwell House and the Monte Verdi Family Slaves markers add depth to the
property’s historical significance.

Spanning an impressive 2,800
square feet, this home offers ample space for modern living while preserving
its antebellum charm. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it strikes a
perfect balance between historical authenticity and contemporary comfort. The
primary bedroom, a spacious retreat, invites you to unwind after a long day of
imagining life in a different century.

The Old Birdwell Cabin is a slice
of Texas history right in your backyard. Originally constructed in the 1840s
and relocated from Mt. Enterprise in the 1960s, this converted
”dog-trot” cabin now serves as a delightful guest house. With two
bedrooms and two fireplaces, it’s the perfect spot for visitors to experience a
taste of pioneer life without sacrificing comfort.

living piece of Texas history. Whether you’re a history buff, an architecture
enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the unique and extraordinary,
