Land bathed in sunsets and solitude sounds like authentic Texas living, and this Trinity Hills Ranch ticks all the boxes.
Trinity Hills Ranch encompasses 51 acres and features a 6,689-square-foot modern farmhouse with an open floor plan, situated only 35 miles from Dallas, reported Candy’sDirt.
The main suite is located at one end of the house. Across the hall is an office, and an extra bedroom suite is located on the lower level, all with views of the pond. Upstairs are four bedrooms, a loft space, and a generous bonus room that can be used as a second home office, gym, media room, or playroom.
Here is more of what Candy’sDirt had to report on this true Texas-style ranch, located at 1262 County Road 278 in Kaufman, for $3.799 million:
When most people think of Texas, they think of wide-open spaces. The image of an endless sunset and miles of land has been embedded in our minds through movies like Hud, Giant, The Last Picture Show, and Tender Mercies, to name a few. So whenever possible, we look for land that’s just far enough from the city and preferably comes with a beautiful house.
That’s often a tall order because you generally get one or the other but you are in luck today. We’ve found Trinity Hills Ranch on 51 acres with a 6,689-square-foot gorgeous two-story modern farmhouse just 35 miles from Dallas. That’s the same distance as McKinney, to give you some perspective. When the mood strikes, you can easily dive back into city life.
I can count on one hand how often I’ve found this much land with a custom home that checks every box. The last one I found became an Instagram sensation, and if that’s in your wheelhouse, there’s not a reason in the world Trinity Hills can’t also become a social media star. The house is magnificent. A wraparound porch and second-story balcony offer unimpeded views of the land and those beautiful Texas sunsets and sunrises. And best of all, you have complete privacy here.
The owner built this home for his young family, so it was a true labor of love and created to be kid-friendly. He designed an open floor plan living space anchored by a large fireplace and opening into a kitchen area any chef would love. Two kitchen islands will spoil you for any other arrangement.
The primary suite is on one end of the house, with windows flanking the fireplace and a beautiful bathroom. An office is just across the hall, and there is an additional downstairs bedroom suite, all overlooking the pond.
The second floor has four bedrooms, a loft space, and a large bonus room, perfect for a second home office, gym, media room, or playroom.
So, we have a flawless home, but let’s talk about the real reason people want this experience and all that Trinity Hills Ranch has to offer.
When you have 51 acres, three stocked ponds, four cattle ponds, a grazing pasture for livestock, a barn with quarters for a farmhand, and an agricultural exemption, you can most certainly be the gentleman or gentlewoman farmer. This land is perfect for those who want to enjoy the homesteading life, with a chicken coop and a vegetable garden ready for use. A playhouse for the kids is out back, along with a firepit. Can you just imagine the kids leading a digital-free life? It’s not just possible here; it’s probable with so much to capture their attention. As I mentioned, it’s an Instagram-worthy lifestyle.
If social media stardom is not on your bingo card, Compass Realtors Sarah Fakih and Amanda Rupley have cleverly consulted with a terrific landman who has created a plan subdividing the area into 26 one-acre lots you can sell off and potentially pay for this beautiful house and still retain 10 acres! Alternatively, if this is not enough land for you, there is an adjacent 40 acres available, so you could combine that and have almost 100 acres. Isn’t that the dream to own miles and miles of Texas?
Fakih and Rupley have Trinity Hills Ranch at 1262 County Road 278 in Kaufman available for $3.799 million. Be sure to watch the video!
