Welcome to your private country retreat! This charming 1580sqft, Santa Fe-style 2+bedroom, 2-bath stucco cottage sits on a serene and scenic 9.81 acres—an ideal full-time homestead or peaceful weekend escape from the chaos of city life.
The home offers 1,580 sqft of inviting living space, including a newer addition with a private entrance and its own A/C—perfect for a third bedroom, an office, or extra living space. The open-concept kitchen features a central island and includes all appliances. Beautiful stained concrete floors run throughout, adding a warm and modern touch.
Outdoors, the property is a dream for nature lovers, homesteaders, and families alike. The pond is plumbed to the well, allowing you to keep it full for wildlife even in the hottest months of summer while leaving it open to stocking it with fish of your choice - or simply enjoy the peaceful view. The land is blanketed with ancient live oaks, mesquites, giant yuccas, and berry-laden anaqua trees, creating a haven for native birds and wildlife. It's common to spot turkeys, green jays, cardinals, woodpeckers, mockingbirds, and more from your porch or while walking the winding trails that surround the entire property.
Behind the home, you’ll find an expansive, fully-fenced garden area ready for your green thumb—grow your own vegetables, herbs, and flowers in a space designed for serious gardening while keeping the numerous deer and hogs out. Nearby sits a well-built chicken house and coop, capable of comfortably housing 40–50 hens, letting you enjoy fresh eggs daily while embracing sustainable living.
For families, there’s a designated park-like area perfect for both relaxation and play: a bench swing for quiet moments, picnic tables for outdoor BBQ’s, and a kids’ play area featuring a huge sandbox that promises hours of fun. There’s room to roam, explore, and reconnect with nature in every direction.
Additional features include a private water well, septic system, concrete parking pad, and a detached, covered carport. And yes—the oak trees are truly stunning. Texas history runs deep in this property, neighbors have wagon trails visible from the early 1800’s and have found artifacts (cuff links from military uniforms, etc) from the various people who lived and traveled through long ago.
Don’t miss the chance to own this versatile and beautiful slice of Texas country living!
