Awake to the golden hues of sunrise painting the majestic Barnwell Mountain range! Just a scenic 35-minute drive from Longview, this custom-built home is a true original, thoughtfully designed as a near-perfect homage to the iconic Southfork Ranch. Step inside and be captivated by the attention to detail: extensive crown molding, gleaming hardwood floors, and elegant plantation shutters throughout. Ten-foot ceilings amplify the sense of space and light in the open floor plan. Convenience meets comfort with two bedrooms and a fully remodeled full bath on the main level, now featuring a convenient walk-in shower (updated this year), along with a dedicated office and a well-placed half bath for guests and pool access. For added peace of mind, this home includes a hidden safe room discreetly located downstairs. Ascend to the upper level where you'll find a comfortable secondary bedroom and the expansive master suite. This private retreat features a dramatic vaulted ceiling, a generous walk-in closet, and a private balcony to soak in the views. The master bath is a sanctuary with his and her vanities, a relaxing soaking tub, and a separate shower. Outside, enjoy an enormous 1800 sq. ft. covered back porch, ideal for entertaining while overlooking the sparkling gunite pool with a soothing waterfall. Practical amenities include a 30x40 insulated shop with skylights and two roll-up doors, a concrete drive with security gate, and a reliable well for outside watering and livestock. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the large, stocked pond with its own deck. The entire acreage is securely fenced with durable pipe fencing and hog wire. Horse lovers will find the two-stall stable with a tack room a welcome addition. This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle – a unique property offering breathtaking views, the delicate beauty of drift roses blooming around your private pool, and enhanced security.
