Experience exceptional Texas Hill Country living on this remarkable 143-acre ranch, ideally located minutes from Marble Falls and less than an hour from Austin. With over 4,000 feet of frontage along Ranch Road 1431, the property offers outstanding accessibility, productive grazing land, and some of the area's most breathtaking views. Built in 2005, the custom main residence spans 3,335 square feet and features three bedrooms and three bathrooms on the main level, plus a spacious upstairs bonus room with a full bath. Designed to capture the surrounding landscape, nearly every room enjoys panoramic Hill Country views. Shovel Mountain anchors the southern vista, while Packsaddle Mountain creates a stunning backdrop to the west.

Three inviting porches, including a screened porch, provide ideal outdoor living spaces. Inside, the open-concept design showcases antique log beams, dry-stack stonework, antique longleaf pine accents, and a striking wood-burning fireplace with an antique log focal wall. Custom mesquite front doors welcome you into a well-appointed kitchen featuring Viking appliances, granite countertops, a corner pantry, and an impressive 8-foot mesquite-topped island. A handcrafted cedar staircase, built from cedar harvested on the ranch, leads to the upstairs retreat. The private primary suite features its own fireplace with gas logs, while Pella windows and doors throughout the home maximize natural light and frame spectacular views. The ranch is well equipped for recreation and agriculture with two water wells, productive pastures, a livestock barn, and a separate guest house. Additional improvements include two garden sheds and a 30' x 60' workshop with dry-stack stone exterior. Already plumbed, the workshop offers excellent potential for guest quarters, a ranch office, or apartment.
