The first thing you'll notice is the trees. Not just a few scattered oaks, but towering, generations old oak trees that blanket this 28.5-acre Hill Country property and give it a character that's impossible to recreate. As you travel down the paved drive, rolling terrain, elevation changes, and sweeping views reveal what makes this property so special. Perfectly positioned to capture breathtaking Hill Country sunsets, the home offers views you'll never get tired of. Enjoy peaceful mornings on the porch and evenings in the covered, outdoor lounge area with built in kitchen, surrounded by nature. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was designed for comfortable country living, featuring a stunning limestone fireplace, concrete and tile flooring throughout, a spacious office, and a primary suite with a jacuzzi tub and oversized walk-in closet. Outside, you'll find a covered 3-car carport, separate storage carport, animal pen, seasonal creek, and a 720-square-foot metal workshop with electric RV hookup. Whether you're looking for a homestead, weekend retreat, or full-time residence, this property offers privacy, versatility, and the beauty of the Texas Hill Country in one exceptional package.
