Set on 5 unrestricted acres just outside the city limits, this modern farmhouse blends wide-open Texas skies with thoughtful design and everyday comfort. The 3,159 sq ft main home offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, complemented by a beautifully finished 917 sq ft guest house (ADU) with its own bedroom, full bath, kitchen, living area, and bonus room. Built in 2017, with the guest house added in 2022, this property delivers space, flexibility, and a lifestyle that’s hard to find — all just minutes from Rockwall’s top-rated schools and conveniences.

From the moment you arrive, the front porch and surrounding trees set a peaceful, welcoming tone. Inside, the main home opens to a bright, airy layout centered around a standout living room with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf, rolling ladder, large picture window, and cozy reading nook. An electric fireplace adds warmth and ambiance year-round.

Throughout the home, you’ll find luxury finishes, custom built-ins, and thoughtfully curated details — including original 1900s farmhouse doors that bring character and history into the space.

The kitchen pairs beauty and function with a farmhouse sink, Sub-Zero refrigerator, luxury gas range, and seamless flow into the dining and outdoor areas. A private study with barn door sits just off the main living space. The downstairs primary suite offers a true retreat with a sitting area and spa-like bath featuring a jetted tub and walk-in shower.

Upstairs includes three additional bedrooms (one ensuite, two with Jack and Jill bath), a spacious game room, and second laundry room. The two-car garage also has walk-up attic storage!

Both homes feature inviting front and back porches. Enjoy unforgettable Texas sunsets from the rooftop deck atop a shipping container w- added storage. Outdoor living continues with a covered patio, electric shade screen, and sport court, and firepit.

This home features a rare blend of space, character, and versatility — come see it for yourself!
