A unique home located in Rockport, Texas, hit the market in July for $1.67 million.
The home, which now has a signed contract, features ceilings made of reclaimed barn wood.

Deep in the heart of Texas is a one-of-a-kind farmhouse. The $1.67 million home is located on a secluded lot in Rockport, a city on the southeastern coast of Texas, a half-hour drive from Corpus Christi and along the Gulf of Mexico.

The 2,515-square-foot home sits on 2.5 acres dotted with oak and pine trees. The standout feature of the residence is its 40-foot-tall screened pool barn, a unique structure that adds a modern flair to the home.

"The owners of the home definitely have an artistic vein," Douglas Elliman real-estate agent Emily Waldmann told Insider. "One of the coolest features of the home is that pool area."

Now under contract, the home also includes an outdoor dining space, a fire pit, a 1,000-gallon stainless steel rainwater cistern system, and a standing seam metal roof.

Take a look inside this rustic retreat.

The home was built in 2013. It was designed for indoor and outdoor seating, offering a seamless flow within its living spaces.

In addition to its interior square footage, about 2,500 square feet of covered patio surrounds the residence.

The pinnacle of the property is its screened barn that reaches a towering height of 40 feet. Within the enclosure is an eight-foot-deep pool.
