Description

Looking for a place where life slows down, and the country welcomes you home? This beautiful 93-acre ranch offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to town, just 8 miles from historic downtown Hico, Texas. Set atop a scenic hill with sweeping countryside views, the 2,640 sq. ft. modern farmhouse captures the true spirit of ranch living while offering comfort and a relaxing design throughout.

The seller has carefully maintained a wildlife exemption, encouraging native habitat and preserving natural brush areas that attract abundant wildlife. Quail, deer, turkey, dove, fox, and many other species are regularly seen throughout the ranch, creating a peaceful setting where nature thrives.

The thoughtfully designed main home features 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a formal dining room, two wood-burning fireplaces, and a spacious family room perfect for gathering with friends and family. While officially a two-bedroom home, it was designed with hosting in mind. The spacious sunroom adds exceptional versatility with a custom-built swing bed, room for a fold-out couch, a third dining area, and an open layout ideal for entertaining, providing comfortable sleeping accommodations for additional family and guests. A generous 12' x 40' covered front porch offers the perfect place to relax while enjoying wildlife and breathtaking sunrises.

Additional improvements include a 2,000 sq. ft. barn with water and separate electric service, a 1,200 sq. ft. workshop with water, sewer, and a covered patio, plus an oversized two-car carport.

The crown jewel of the ranch is the beautiful 1.5-acre stocked lake (bass, crappie, and bluegill) with a dock, perfect for fishing. Bailey Branch Creek winds through the property, enhancing its natural beauty and attracting wildlife. The land is fenced and cross-fenced for cattle or horses with mature trees and native grasses. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy ranch living just minutes from the charm of Hico.
