Property Description
Welcome to your private West Texas retreat—where comfort, craftsmanship, and breathtaking views come together on more than 38 stunning acres. Built in 2022, this 2,824 sq ft home offers peaceful privacy while still being just minutes from downtown Abilene. Inside, an inviting open floorplan centers around a spacious living area with soaring vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and a striking double-sided fireplace that warms both the living room and the serene primary suite. Foam insulation, energy-efficient systems, and no HOA provide year-round comfort and long-term value. The kitchen is designed to impress with a large island, custom cabinetry, subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range, dishwasher, and microwave drawer. A massive walk-in pantry with appliance shelving offers exceptional storage, while the farmhouse sink overlooks the stunning surrounding landscape. Beneath the stairs, a charming dry bar with wine fridge and shelving creates the perfect space for entertaining. An open staircase leads to a bright loft bonus room offering flexible space for a game room, office, or additional lounge area. The primary suite features direct porch access and a spa-like bath with dual sinks, a soaking tub, tiled walk-in shower, and generous storage. Two spacious guest bedrooms provide comfort for family or visitors, including one with porch access and panoramic views. Outside, the property truly shines. A resort-style pool and spa anchor the backyard, framed by the home on one side and a versatile 1,500 sq ft metal shop on the other. The shop includes electricity, a storage loft, and a large covered overhang facing the pool—perfect for shaded lounging and gatherings. Inside, a finished man cave opens directly to the pool area for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. With ample parking, private trails, hunting opportunities, and unforgettable sunset views, this remarkable property captures the freedom and beauty of West Texas living.
