Welcome to this exceptional country estate where thoughtful upgrades, quality craftsmanship, and equestrian amenities come together on 10.83 ag-exempt acres. This beautifully maintained 5-bedroom, 3-bath brick home offers approximately 2,922 square feet of usable living space, including a heated and cooled enclosed sunroom and a versatile bonus room above the garage with its own private bath—perfect for guests, a home office, or hobby space. Designed for comfortable everyday living, the home features an inviting open layout with fireplaces in both the living room and primary suite, updated quartz countertops, plank flooring, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light. Extensive improvements include a newer 30-year roof, triple-pane energy-efficient windows, updated HVAC ductwork, solar-powered attic ventilation, new siding, gutters, exterior paint, and an upgraded concrete septic system. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive 36' x 48' four-stall barn, complete with a heated and cooled custom tack room featuring an innovative rotating saddle rack system. The barn also includes a wash stall with hot and cold water, covered hay storage, ample electrical service, and an open-concept design. The property is equally well-suited for hobby farming with a fully equipped chicken house, covered run, duck pond, garden area, multiple storage buildings, and pipe fencing. The ag exemption is maintained by active beehives, helping reduce property taxes, and the seller is willing to negotiate transferring the hives. Solar powered entry gate, heated and cooled garage, backup generator connections, and countless additional upgrades make this property truly move-in ready. Whether you're looking for a horse property, private retreat, or turnkey country estate, this one-of-a-kind property offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and rural living just minutes from North Texas conveniences.
