Modern Ranch Retreat on 13.23 Acres with Ag Exemption
Set on 13.23 acres of pristine, fully fenced land, this modern ranch estate delivers a rare blend of sophistication, privacy, and practicality--complete with an agricultural exemption for significant tax savings. Designed for both elegance and function, the home showcases seamless indoor-outdoor living framed by expansive views of rolling hills and serene water features.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a private primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, double vanity, oversized walk-in shower, and a custom closet connecting directly to the laundry room. A chef's kitchen anchors the home with quartz countertops, floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, high-end appliances, a massive pantry, and a statement island for gathering. The open living and dining area is bathed in natural light, highlighted by a dramatic glass wall leading to the covered back porch.
Upstairs, a versatile second level awaits--ideal for a game room, theatre, in-law suite, or additional bedrooms--with private balcony access to sweeping country views. Modern amenities include foam insulation, a new roof (July 2025), smart-home technology, and energy-efficient systems for year-round comfort.
Outdoor living is equally impressive: two stocked ponds, an enclosed well, storage shed, and a climate-controlled two-car garage with workshop potential. A built-in tornado shelter adds peace of mind, while the absence of an HOA ensures complete freedom to enjoy the land your way--whether for recreation, livestock, or simply a private sanctuary.
This exceptional property is more than a home--it's a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to enjoy luxury living with all the benefits of wide-open Texas land.
