30 impeccably maintained acres in Aledo ISD offering a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most exceptional private estates. Backing to the South Fork Trinity River, this property combines country living and self-sufficiency, but located just 5 minutes from I-20, H-E-B, Costco, and Sprouts. Whether you're seeking a private retreat or an estate built for generations, this property offers the space and freedom to make it your own. Updated and expanded over the years, the estate includes a fully insulated and air-conditioned studio with its own half bath, offering flexibility as a secondary office, fitness studio, workshop, or creative space. A covered cabana, outdoor kitchen, and dedicated pool bath, added in 2010, create an outdoor environment for quiet evenings or large gatherings. In 2013, a substantial metal outbuilding with two overhead garage doors and a loft was added, providing abundant space for equipment, recreational vehicles, or storage. Outside, the grounds are just as impressive. A heated pool overlooks the back acreage while mature trees, intentionally planted and nurtured over the years, create a peaceful setting. A picturesque pond with a fountain welcomes guests upon arrival, and a caliche walking trail winds around the pond and throughout the property. A custom treehouse and play area provide another place to enjoy the outdoors. Raised garden beds and a custom-built Magnolia-inspired garden shed further enhance the functionality. Two private water wells drawing from the Paluxy and Trinity aquifers provide an abundant, reliable water source. Additional highlights include a new metal roof, an attached 3-car garage with a built-in tornado shelter, private gated entry, WiFi-enabled security cameras, and a propane generator capable of powering the primary suite, outdoor kitchen, and pool during power outages. Combining natural beauty, thoughtful improvements, and exceptional privacy, this is a property designed to be enjoyed for generations.
