The improvements on this 247-acre ranch were built with intention, blending functionality with the kind of craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Constructed in 2021, the custom log home reflects quality materials and thoughtful design, while the property as a whole has been meticulously cared for under the current ownership—something that is evident from the condition of the improvements to the management of the land. The 2,220 square foot home immediately sets itself apart with vaulted ceilings, exposed log beams, and tongue-and-groove woodwork that carries throughout. The main living area offers an open layout with natural light and views across the ranch, creating a space that feels both comfortable and connected to the land. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with custom cabinetry, ample counter space, and an L-shaped layout with bar seating—well-suited for both everyday use and gathering. Stainless appliances, a vent hood, and a detailed tile backsplash add to the overall finish while maintaining the home's warm, ranch-style character. The primary suite is positioned for privacy and features a spacious layout, large walk-in closet, and an updated bathroom complete with double vanities, a walk-in tiled shower, and a separate soaking tub. Additional bedrooms and bathrooms are well-appointed and consistent with the quality seen throughout the home. A standout feature for daily ranch life is the oversized laundry and mudroom, offering built-in cabinetry, workspace, and a utility sink. Just off the mudroom is a full bathroom, providing convenient access after working cattle, spending time in the yard, or coming in from the barn—an intentional detail that adds to the functionality of the home. Outdoor living is just as intentional. The three-sided wraparound porch, finished with wood-lined ceilings, provides multiple covered seating areas and a natural extension of the home—ideal for taking in the surrounding landscape and keeping an eye on livestock and pasture conditions. The ranch infrastructure has been thoughtfully laid out to support both livestock and long-term land stewardship. A 60x40 metal barn anchors the improvements, complete with four mechanical roll-up doors, along with insulation, electricity, and water already in place. An attached covered awning extends the functionality of the barn, offering additional space for equipment storage or covered parking. Two additional equipment sheds provide further support for day-to-day operations. Working pens are conveniently located near the barn, allowing for efficient livestock handling, and the property is cross-fenced into multiple pastures to support rotational grazing and improved land management practices. The layout of the ranch allows for both ease of use and flexibility, whether running cattle or managing wildlife. Water is a strong attribute of the property, with a reliable house well supported by two irrigation wells positioned on both the east and west sides of the ranch. Multiple spreader dams traverse the property, enhancing water retention, slowing runoff, and contributing to the overall health and productivity of the native grasses. The land itself offers gently rolling topography, a strong presence of mature oak trees, and a setting that supports both agricultural use and recreation. The property is high fenced on three sides, providing additional versatility for wildlife management while maintaining accessibility. This is a well-rounded Hill Country ranch where the improvements, water, and land have all been carefully considered and maintained—creating a property that is ready to be used and appreciated from day one.
