Soon huge rocks started rolling in. Today, a beautifully constructed home is the result. The home, located in Mertzon, is a long structure that has a screened-in porch, living room, dining room, three bedrooms, kitchen, den and two bathsâ€â€and all conveniences found in the city home. Rustic beauty marks this 37 feet by 72 feet rock-veneered structure just completed on the Mans Mertzon ranch. It is of native rock. the cornerstone of the home is built in the shape of a star.
