Hey, ‘Fixer Upper’ Fans! Chip and Joanna Gaines Built a Spec Farmhouse in Texas

Even if you’ve watched every episode of “Fixer Upper” that’s ever aired, chances are you haven’t seen every home Chip and Joanna Gaines have ever built and designed.

For example, take this gorgeous new modern farmhouse for $624,900 in China Spring, TX.

Recently finished, the four bedroom, 4.5-bath, two-story home was built on spec by Magnolia Design and Construction, the Gaines’ own real estate development company. As per usual, Chip oversaw construction and Joanna took the lead on design .

Chip and Joanna were working on homes in the Waco area long before “Fixer Upper” was an HGTV sensation. They’ve continued to do so even after the bright lights and boom mics have been stored away.

The new property is located in an area outside of Waco in a subdivision called “The Preserve.”  Built with the couple’s signature touches, the four-bedroom home offers 3,150 square feet of interior living space.

And about those touches: There’s an abundance of gleaming white shiplap, wide-plank French oak flooring, and antiqued wood doors. Joanna also added heavy, natural wood-beamed ceilings and black paned windows—two other elements familiar to “Fixer Upper” fans.

 

The open kitchen also has Ms. Gaines written all over it, thanks to its open metal shelving, galvanized stove hood and overhead lights, white drawers and cabinets, and central island with natural wood sides.

And, yes, there’s a mud room with individual cubbies for each family member. An adjacent shiplap-lined laundry room is also part of Joanna’s design.

There’s custom cabinetry throughout the home and high-end finishes including Carrara marble vanity tops. Spacious porches anchor the ground level, and an attic bonus room tops it all off.

But the famous duo aren’t the only builders and designers in this new Central Texas subdivision. Several other contractors have also built homes nearby, so the area is chock-full of new homes—but without the cookie-cutter feel you see in most new housing tracts.

And if your heart is set on a brand-new Magnolia home and this one vanishes quickly, never fear. All the lots in phase one of the development have been sold, but there are a number of lots still available in phase two.

Lots range in price from $75,000 to $120,000. A buyer could snag a lot and then contract the coveted Magnolia team to build a dream house. Just try to catch the couple before they begin work on their new Magnolia-branded TV network.
