Escape to 45 acres of pure tranquility in the heart of Coryell County. Just minutes from Gatesville and Lampasas, this secluded ranchette blends rustic charm with luxury living. Step inside the custom 2/2 home (1,632 sq. ft.) where soaring vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, and a chef’s kitchen with marble countertops set the stage for relaxed elegance. Custom stained glass is a true must see. Unwind in the primary suite with a clawfoot tub, then enjoy year-round comfort on the screened porch with a cozy fireplace and mini split. Outdoors, the property transforms into a true oasis. Lounge beside the sparkling pool with cascading waterfalls, entertain from your outdoor kitchen and pizza oven surrounded by fruit-bearing peach, fig, and pear trees. From the hilltop vista, watch the sky paint unforgettable sunrises and sunsets.
Guests are welcomed with a private casita, additional retreat space, and RV hookups, all surrounded by rolling terrain, shady trees, and a seasonal creek. With every detail thoughtfully designed, this ranchette offers the rare combination of serenity, sophistication, and timeless Texas beauty.
