| Built in 1883, the history of this Hill Country mansion is magnificent and has been featured in several television programs, magazines and numerous newspaper articles. The "Norton Mansion" (as it has always locally been known) is one of the nicest homes in Llano county and the Hill Country. It is certainly one of the most unique, historic and colorful, as it was intended. It was built by a mineral wildcatter in the 1880's, there are 60 beautiful acres with more adjoining acreage available, 2 ponds, unique granite outcroppings and sits atop a hill overlooking the entire town of Llano. It has served many purposes but is now at its most prestigious and majestic state. The home boasts 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, 3 interior fireplaces, multiple spectacular chandeliers, huge baseboards, oversized doors, windows to the floor, a wonderful big kitchen, formal living room with a fireplace, sitting room, large formal dining room, game room, utility room, plenty of storage, custom pressed tin 12 ft. Ceilings, incredibly thick walls, massive cut granite foundation, 1800 square feet of porches, observation deck/roof patio overlooking the city of Llano, a rock patio with fireplace, 3 car detached garage, 2 strong water wells and storage system, a small barn and working pens, several interior/cross fences(wood, barbed and mesh), a water trough in each pasture, huge ancient live oaks, post oaks, towering cedars and pomegranate trees.
