Nestled on 30 private acres in McDade, Texas, this updated country estate blends rustic charm with modern design. A signature round turret leads into a light-filled interior with polished concrete floors, a floor-to-ceiling whitewashed stone fireplace, and expansive windows. The open-concept layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Modern farmhouse style shines in the kitchen, featuring navy cabinetry, butcher block countertops, brass hardware, open shelving, and a farmhouse sink. The main-level primary suite offers an updated bath with a soaking tub, antique vanity, floral vessel sink, arched mirror, and gold fixtures. Upstairs, two bedrooms-one with three custom built-in beds for a guest bunk room-and a full bath surround the turret room, featuring curved walls, porthole windows, a built-in desk, custom wainscoting, and chandelier lighting. Outdoors, the property features hay-producing pastures and panoramic views. Recent improvements include a new front deck and pergola added in 2025 and a roof replacement in 2019. The private well includes a filtration and softener system, and the property enjoys an agricultural tax exemption. Equestrian amenities feature a custom two-stall horse barn with an attached chicken coop and tack room, pipe-fenced corrals, two outdoor wash racks, and a hitching post. The acreage directly borders Rancho Del Lago, one of the nation's premier Andalusian breeding farms. Combining unique character, contemporary upgrades, and prime Texas land, this sanctuary is ready for its next owner.
