Tucked away in the heart of Mason County, this rare 7+ acre small ranch offers privacy, versatility, and pride of ownership in an ideal Hill Country setting. Surrounded by larger ranches and not located in a subdivision, this property delivers the space and freedom buyers are searching for—while still enjoying maintained county road frontage and gated access. The very nice 2.5-story country home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus a spacious loft, and has been thoughtfully updated inside and out. Recent exterior improvements include fresh paint, Austin stone rockwork, and a durable metal roof, giving the home a clean, modern ranch aesthetic. A large front porch invites you to enjoy morning coffee with Hill Country sunrises, while the newly created screened back porch provides an incredible second living space—perfect for hosting friends, watching football, or enjoying the NFR in comfort. The custom blinds alone were a significant investment and make this space usable year-round. Inside, the home feels like new. Updates include new kitchen countertops, a beautiful backsplash, and a generous bar area ideal for gathering. The open living and kitchen area boasts vaulted ceilings accented by a striking wagon-wheel light fixture, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The loft area offers flexible use as a home office, game room, additional bedroom, or second living space. An attached carport with direct access to the mudroom makes everyday living and unloading groceries easy and convenient. Outside is where this property truly shines for the ranch-minded buyer. The land features excellent sandy loam soils, large oak trees, and good underground water. The ranch is cross-fenced and well-suited for horses, 4-H or FFA projects, and recreational use. Improvements include a riding/roping arena, small barn with stalls, and a newly built dog kennel designed to match the home's exterior. Fruit trees add charm and function, and the acreage is large enough to hunt. For relaxation, enjoy the hot tub and cowboy pool, both of which convey with the sale—perfect for cooling off after a day outside or unwinding under the Texas stars. Additional highlights include: *Very private setting with scenic Hill Country views, *County road frontage with gated entrance, *Surrounded by large ranches, *Pride of ownership throughout, *Ideal full-time residence or weekend retreat. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready Hill Country homestead that checks every box—location, privacy, land, improvements, and lifestyle. Properties like this in Mason County don't come along often.
