Set on more than eight acres, this North Texas retreat blends wide-open spaces with timeless ranch character. A private electric gate and a winding drive lead through pipe-rail fencing and cross-fenced pastures of sandy loam soil to a single-story ranch home tucked beneath mature trees at the crest of a hill. The 1,800-square-foot residence is perfectly positioned to overlook the land, with wooded areas, open pasture, and a stock pond visible from the nearly 40 foot wide front covered porch. Just below, the barn offers multiple stalls, a corral, and even a ranch hand apartment, supporting both equestrian and agricultural pursuits with ease. An existing agricultural exemption and the absence of city taxes add financial advantages to the property, while the surrounding environment enhances its lasting value-neighboring multi-acre tracts and undeveloped Corps of Engineers land across the road provide built-in privacy for years to come. Location is another highlight. Only five miles from Denton, 2.5 miles from shopping and dining in Cross Roads, 11.5 miles from the PGA of America's Frisco headquarters, and just minutes from Lake Lewisville, the estate offers a rare balance of seclusion and convenience. For those seeking expanded possibilities, additional acreage is available-including a barn, pond, and a 6,500+ square-foot luxury executive estate (MLS 21073173).
