Country singer Jon Wolfe has seamlessly blended his passions for music and design in his Texas home, recently showcasing his stylish man cave. Wolfe, who is also the founder of Juan Lobo Tequila, purchased a three-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom residence in New Braunfels, Texas, in late 2022. The house, which spans approximately 3,500 square feet on a one-acre lot in the scenic Texas Hill Country, was a near-complete new build when Wolfe and his wife, Amber Wolfe, decided to make it their own.
Wolfe describes their home style as modern traditional, although he acknowledges some variation in taste between him and Amber. “What happens a lot in the Hill Country of Texas is it’s a mixture of styles,” he explains. “You look at the kitchen, and it’s traditional meets modern farmhouse.” This collaborative approach to design is evident throughout the home, particularly in the man cave—Wolfe’s personal sanctuary.
Creating a Personal Retreat
The man cave serves as a retreat for Wolfe, offering a space where he can relax and pursue his many interests. With dark, industrial finishes, the room is designed to provide a comfortable atmosphere for family and friends. “We work on that stuff together,” Wolfe says about their design process. “I can give my wife, like, four options, and as long as I’m relatively okay with all four, I’m going to land somewhere where I’m happy.”
The couple’s journey to find their ideal home was not without challenges. Initially, they had bought land in Driftwood, Texas, and collaborated with an architect to design a home. However, they soon realized they wanted to be closer to family members living in nearby towns like Boerne and Buda. Selling the land proved to be a wise financial decision, allowing them to focus on finding a new home in New Braunfels.
Wolfe highlights the spacious kitchen and grand ceilings, which range from 14 to 17 feet, as significant features that attracted them to the property. “The kitchen is huge. My wife, she’s an amazing cook and loves to entertain,” he notes. Although the house lacked landscaping upon purchase, its overall potential was a major selling point.
A Sanctuary for Relaxation and Creativity
The man cave is painted in Sherwin-Williams’ Tricorn Black and features impressive trim work, including picture-frame wainscoting and tall velvet curtains. Wolfe has incorporated elements that reflect his personality, such as a large television and a tequila bar, which complements his role as a tequila entrepreneur. Guitars are also prominently displayed, making it a space where he can play music and write songs.
Wolfe’s passion for Texas sports is evident throughout the room, as it serves as a hub for watching local teams like the Texas Longhorns and the San Antonio Spurs. The walls are adorned with tour posters from his performances, along with memorabilia from favorite locations. Industrial-style furniture from Four Hands contributes to the room’s aesthetic, blending comfort with rugged charm.
The couple’s taste extends to unique decor items, such as a custom coffee table that showcases cherished items, including books, rocks, and a vintage safe from the 1800s. Wolfe plans to convert the safe into a cigar humidor, further enhancing the room’s character.
Wolfe emphasizes the importance of a personal space that allows him to unwind from the demands of his career. “It’s a place that, when I come home, it’s relaxing,” he says. “I’m able to watch football. I’m able to kind of turn off the world… it allows me to decompress.”
As the couple continues to enhance their home, they plan to create custom shelving for their vinyl record collection and further personalize their man cave. With a growing Napa Valley wine collection and a love for music, Wolfe and Amber are curating a space that reflects their shared interests and passions.
Jon Wolfe’s man cave exemplifies not only his success as a musician but also his commitment to creating a welcoming environment for family and friends. With its thoughtful design and personal touches, it stands as a testament to the balance of work and relaxation in the life of this country star.
