Private 172-Acre Farm with River Access

The Palette Pad isn't just a cabin—it's a piece of Texas history. Originally built as the art studio of C. P. Montague, one of President Lyndon B. Johnson's favorite artists, this inspiring space is where she painted hundreds of Texas landscapes overlooking Scurlock Farms. Many guests tell us that after reading C. P.
