Property Description
Welcome to the iconic W.H. Kokernot Mansion, currently operating as the Saint James Bed & Breakfast, one of Gonzales' most distinguished historic estates. Situated on nearly one acre in the heart of Gonzales, this remarkable Colonial Revival residence offers a rare opportunity to own a true Texas landmark. Built in 1914, the home encompasses approximately 9,162 square feet and showcases timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and historic character throughout. The mansion was commissioned by W.H. Kokernot, a member of one of Gonzales County's most influential ranching and banking families. It was designed by renowned Texas architect Henry T. Phelps, best known for designing many of Texas' historic county courthouses and other landmark buildings. More than a century later, the home remains a testament to their enduring legacy. Inside, you'll discover six spacious bedrooms, eight bathrooms, multiple formal and informal living areas, elegant dining rooms, beautiful hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, original pocket doors, intricate crown molding, and nine fireplaces. A detached two-story carriage house offers two private guest apartments. The upper level features a three-bedroom, two-bath apartment, while the lower level includes a one-bedroom, one-bath apartment connected to a two-car garage. The beautifully landscaped 0.92-acre corner lot features mature trees, expansive porches, balconies, and inviting outdoor spaces. Located just moments from historic downtown Gonzales, museums, restaurants, shopping, and community events, the property offers both privacy and convenience. Whether envisioned as a private residence, the continued operation of the Saint James Bed & Breakfast, a multigenerational estate, or a unique hospitality or event venue, the W.H. Kokernot Mansion offers exceptional possibilities. Rich in history and timeless elegance, this extraordinary property is more than a home, it's a legacy waiting for its next steward.
