A perfect combination of spacious and cozy, this 2,662 sq ft home is located on 18 acres just outside of rural Forestburg, TX. It is a regular wood construction build (not a bardominium), sided with metal to lower maintenance costs, and is completely encapsulated with spray foam to conserve energy. In fact, electricity bills for a family of six average $170/month, year-round. The open floor plan includes stained concrete floors, 21.5ft high ceiling in the open family room (25' x 44'), and a beautiful Texas ledger stone hearth with a wood burning stove. Numerous double-pained argon gas-filled windows throughout let natural light in and allow homeowners to soak up the gorgeous views from almost anywhere in the house. The spacious white farmhouse style kitchen boasts an abundance of counter and cabinet space, gas stove with pot filler, island bar, and a beautiful white farmhouse sink centered below windows that look out over miles of gorgeous Texas countryside. There is also a nice sized office off the main entrance way of the home for those who work from home. Each of the home’s five bedrooms is equipped with 10-ft ceilings, ceiling fans, and plenty of closet space, and every door in the house is 8’x 3’ for easy handicap access. A spacious master bedroom includes two walk-in closets – the larger doubling as a 6’x 8’ storm shelter. The master bath’s hand-crafted oak vanity, double-headed glass-door shower, and full-size Whirlpool brand jacuzzi tub make it a perfect in-house getaway spot. And no need to worry about running out of hot water – an 80-gallon water heater keeps the entire family’s showers steaming all at once! The water well flows into an 80-gallon pressure tank with a water softening system. The 1120 sq ft unattached shop/garage is equipped with a toilet and shower, and could easily be converted to a small guest apartment while leaving two parking spaces in the garage. The land is ag-exempt for the production of hay which keeps the taxes low. At the north end of the property lies a 4-5 acre coastal hayfield. While much of the property is wooded with cedar, post oak, and mesquite, numerous other areas could be cultivated for hay production. There is one large tank (pond) stocked with catfish, sunfish, and a few bass, as well as one small tank on the property for the watering of animals. This house is perfect for raising a family or for grandparents whose grandchildren would love a weekend of adventure in the country. The small town of Forestburg is just three miles north with a general store, three small eateries, four churches, a post office, community building, playground, winery and Forestburg ISD (PreK-12). Located just 60 minutes from north Fort Worth, 45 minutes from Denton, and 75 minutes from DFW, the big city is just far enough away for peace and quiet, but close enough for a day visit. For those concerned with modern communications, the house is hard-wired with DSL (8mb) service. Contact Bill: 940-366-2571
