Thoughtfully updated, the home features luxury vinyl flooring throughout and a beautifully designed modern kitchen complete with a herringbone tile backsplash, quartz countertops, and built-in stainless steel appliances—blending rustic warmth with contemporary style. This property is as functional as it is inviting, offering a powered workshop and a shipping container for additional storage. Enjoy outdoor living year-round with an above-ground pool and fenced deck, or unwind under the stars in the hot tub. Designed with self-sufficiency in mind, this prepper’s dream includes a 20KW solar array, Generac standby generator with a dedicated propane tank, rainwater collection system, a large fenced vegetable garden with greenhouse, chicken coop, and mature fruit and pecan trees. Equestrian-ready and thoughtfully laid out, the land is fully fenced and cross-fenced, featuring a two-stall horse lean-to with tack room, along with water and power access. A flat, fenced riding arena completes this exceptional horse property. Additional highlights include an electric gate, full RV hookups, and a dedicated kids’ playscape/area—making this property as versatile as it is unique.
