Tucked into the rolling hills west of Fort Worth, where the horizon stretches wide and the silence is only broken by birdsongs and the breeze, awaits a property unlike anything else on the market. Inspired by Hill Country elegance and built for a lifetime, this steel-framed, Austin stone estate sits proudly on over 40 secluded acres—overlooking its own private, fully stocked 5-acre lake. Arriving through a gated entrance and winding drive, the first glimpse of this architectural gem will take your breath away. Set back more than 1,500 feet from the road, the home sits elevated and surrounded by trees, offering absolute privacy and promising forever views of the Palo Pinto Mountains and big Texas sunsets. Step onto the wraparound porch and into a life of serenity. Inside, soaring ceilings and expansive windows frame breathtaking views in every direction. The open-concept great room centers around a grand freestanding double staircase—an artistic focal point. Beneath it, a locally crafted metal water feature dazzles with an illuminated nighttime display, dancing light across the space and creating a calming ambiance. The kitchen is built for gathering, with upscale appliances including a commercial-grade refrigerator and freezer, a wine cooler, trash compactor, dishwasher, and a charming serving window perfect for hosting. The main-level primary suite is a luxurious retreat, complete with fireplace, spa-style bath, and private patio access. Above the detached garage, your guests will enjoy their own fully equipped studio apartment with a private balcony and panoramic views. Fully fenced with cattle guards, ag-exempt, and unrestricted—ideal for agricultural, recreational, or equestrian pursuits. Whether you're fishing at dusk, sipping coffee on the porch at sunrise, or simply soaking in the stillness of the land, this home offers a lifestyle rooted in beauty, peace, and permanence.
