1619 Althaus Ranch Rd Set in the Texas countryside, this property offers open meadows, mature oak trees, and a sense of natural privacy that's increasingly hard to find. It's an ideal setting for a custom home, giving you the freedom to design around sweeping views, established trees, and the lifestyle you envision. The existing home provides a versatile and comfortable starting point, well-suited as a guest house, weekend retreat, or a place to enjoy while you bring your long-term plans to life. Inside, hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area create a bright, welcoming atmosphere filled with natural light. The main level includes the primary bedroom and two full bathrooms, while a loft-style bedroom above, accessed by a spiral staircase adds character and additional space. Outdoor living is effortless here. A covered patio with exposed wood beams features an outdoor kitchen complete with a built-in gas grill, sink, and bar, perfect for entertaining. A second patio, tucked beneath towering oaks, offers a more private, tranquil setting to relax and take in the surrounding landscape. The property is thoughtfully equipped for both function and flexibility, including a detached two-car garage with an office and workspace, a separate hobby or art studio, two fenced dog runs, and covered parking for an RV or boat or ideal for storage, projects, or recreational use. An agricultural exemption will be in place this year, with the property eligible for a wildlife exemption filing in 2027, offering potential long-term tax advantages.
