About Hershel and Becky Sandifer

Hershel is a commercial construction project manager who loves to work on his land, restore classic cars, juke boxes, and coke machines. He loves cooking catfish and craw fish for large groups! While Hershel was building the house, Becky went back to school and received her PhD and Executive Coaching certification. They both love spending time with their family and four dogs.

Hershel and Becky Sandifer purchased this house in 2009
Why Hershel and Becky Sandifer chose Austin

Hershel used his construction experience to build their dream house. They began hosting events for their friends and family which led to the idea of sharing the house with others. Their son and his wife were married down by the pond in a beautiful outdoor wedding.

What makes this house unique

We chose this land because it was a country setting with plenty of privacy but in close proximity to Austin, San Antonio, Houston, and outlet mall shopping San Marcos.

We rented this house for our staff who were working out at COTA during MotoGP and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. The house was located very close to the track and felt like a home away from home. Wireless internet, an amazing pool and a hot tub were just a few of the many wonderful amenities. The owners were very responsive and just a phone call away if we needed anything!
