Experience peaceful country living with modern comfort on this breathtaking 22.85-acre property near Lake Ray Hubbard in Rockwall County. Perfect for move-up buyers seeking space or first-time buyers dreaming of their own private retreat, this ranch offers a rare combination of charm and opportunity. All but two acres are ag exempt (tax exempt), keeping property taxes remarkably low—never exceeding $500 yearly. Enjoy open pastures and rolling terrain where deer, hawks, and cranes roam freely, and two serene ponds shimmer across the landscape. The ponds are naturally maintained and annually self-stocking, creating a thriving fishing environment with minimal upkeep. The fully fenced horse pasture, approximately seven acres, includes a 40x40 barn with 12-ft overhangs, roll-up doors on every side, and room for equipment. A 20x20 storage building with a new roof and overhead door adds space for tools and hobbies. Three tractors, numerous implements, and a flatbed trailer are ready for agricultural pursuits, whether raising horses, harvesting hay, or simply enjoying the land. The home has been beautifully updated, blending country style with modern comfort. Relax on the breezy front porch with dual fans, unwind on the peaceful back patio, or cultivate gardens—front, side, and back—with sprinklers. Practical perks include low-cost electric co-op service, optional hay lease income, and trash pickup or burn privileges. Conveniently located near HWY 276 for easy commutes while enjoying tranquility. Whether you're looking to expand your lifestyle, start a new chapter surrounded by open skies and wildlife, or invest in land with lasting value, this property offers the Texas ranch dream!
