About This Home
Kepley Place is a 35-acre property located on Highway 36 between Cross Plains and Rising Star, Texas. This hidden gem features beautiful hardwood trees and thick mesquite, with small open areas rich in native grasses. A lovely pond along the southern boundary enhances the landscape and serves as a valuable resource for wildlife, cattle, or horses, should you choose to have them. Just inside the front gate is an old home that could become a charming residence for a small family with a bit of love. Built-in 2006, this two-bedroom, two-bath home was never fully finished, but it has good bones and potential to be brought back to life. Surrounding the house are small pens that could also be restored with some effort. This is an excellent piece of land that would make a wonderful homestead near town.
