With easy access to beautiful countryside and bustling city life, Texas is the ideal location for someone who wants the best of both worlds. If youre looking for a ranch or estate that allows you to entertain, spend time with nature and enjoy your favorite pastimes, look no further than the Lone Star State. Weve rounded up four Texas mansions on the market right now that deliver on both style and setting 100 percent dream-home material.
1. Byrum Ranch
This turnkey mansion is beautifully sited on the perfect oasis for those who love the outdoors. With a combination of pastoral fields, nine separate bodies of water including a 5-acre lake and equestrian facilities, this ranch is an outdoorsmans dream. Situated amid one of the areas premiere hunting and fishing grounds, there is also a game-fenced area of the property that is managed by Texas Parks and Wildlife.
Aside from the outdoor attractions, the main residence boasts approximately 7,000 square feet with six bedrooms and six full baths. Outfitted with state-of-the-art smart home controls, it is a modern space that incorporates rustic touches like wood beams, stone, and distressed wood paneling. Situated nearby to Dallas, Fort Worth and Waco, this Texas mansion is a beautiful place to experience the outdoors in a brand new way.
2. Limestone Stunner in Old Highland Park
Designed by prominent architect David Stocker, this three-bedroom home is an exquisite interpretation of minimalist design. The exterior is outfitted in limestone with hints of black steel for a facade that is equal parts rustic and modern. When you first walk in, the dramatic entryway sets the stage for the rest of the home with its double-height ceilings, a grand floating staircase and a custom-made light fixture brought in from Portugal.
The rest of the home has the same sophisticated grandeur, with top-of-the-line finishes, bold lines and a light and bright color palette. The outside boasts the same attention to detail, with an immaculately landscaped courtyard, a separate outdoor living area and a pool and nearby terrace complete with a fireplace, outdoor kitchen and grill.
3. Stone House Ranch
This Texas mansion is situated on 100 sprawling acres for the best of both modern and rural living. Though just an hour outside of Dallas, youll feel like youre in a hidden retreat the second you step onto the property. With three ponds, fenced pastures and a private boat ramp, its the perfect hideaway.
The main home is inspired by the Four Seasons resort in Hawaii, giving it a relaxing and luxurious aesthetic. Fir beams, wooden trusses and high ceilings are accented by Australian Cypress hardwood floors and custom stonework throughout the home. Accompanied by a separate one-bedroom guesthouse, private seven-hole golf course and charming barn, this ranch is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience country living at its finest.
