Tucked behind a private gated entrance and surrounded by mature native Texas pecan trees, this one-of-a-kind property offers the kind of space, privacy, and freedom that's becoming increasingly hard to find this close to Dallas. Set on 5.17 acres with no HOA, this custom home creates a true Texas retreat while keeping everyday conveniences within easy reach. A circular driveway welcomes you around a peaceful rock waterfall feature before arriving at the home. Beyond it, approximately 3 acres of fully fenced pasture provide room for horses, cattle, or other livestock, complemented by a 36' x 36' steel horse barn with two stalls, tack room, and covered overhangs. Inside, the 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home was designed with room to live, gather, and unwind. Vaulted ceilings, French doors, slate flooring, all-new carpet, crown molding, and a wood-burning stove bring warmth and character throughout. A dedicated study, formal dining room, game room, breakfast nook, bonus room, and sunroom with terra cotta tile and skylights provide a space for every part of daily life. Step outside and the property transforms into your own private escape. Spend summer afternoons around the 48' x 17' gunite pool, relax in the built-in spa, entertain beneath the pergolas, or enjoy quiet mornings from the covered porch surrounded by mature trees and landscaping. Other features include a three-car garage, sprinkler system, invisible dog fence, thermal double-pane windows, a decked attic for storage, and recently replaced water heaters. With convenient access to I-20 and the future President George Bush Turnpike connection, this property offers more than a home. It offers room to slow down, spread out, and experience acreage living without leaving the city behind.
