Nestled among large, well-established shady oaks is a 4 bedroom, 3-bath rock ranch home with your new address: 32840 W. FM 8, Dublin, Texas. The 2-story home is well landscaped, has a concrete circular drive in front, a drive-through carport and an attached 2-car garage. With 4,000 square feet of space, this 1994 home features exquisite craftsmanship throughout, and very effectively blends a warm country-feel with the contemporary. Walk through this showplace with me and see for yourself.

From the circle drive, we move up the brick steps with a gentle slope to the homes impressive double-door entrance flanked by tall slender sidelight windows and massive columns. Your heart is already racing when you see the leaded glass panels in the doors. The stage is set for your experience here. Open those doors to see a red oak and white spiral stairway on the right, leading to the upstairs. The color of the floor tile complements the beautiful red oak in the stairway and throughout the home. One can envision a bridal photo on this stairway, followed soon after by the wedding. She comes down this stairway and your heart melts. Wait; dont worry, shes still a toddler! Lets continue the tour.

The tiled family room is truly a great room, with vaulted ceilings, oak framed cased openings and impressive windows that provide lots of wonderful natural light. One wall is filled with built-in red oak cabinets, bookshelves and a nook for your wine bottles. On an adjacent wall, you are greeted by a Texas white rocked wood-burning fireplace and an abundant hearth that turns and leads you into the formal dining room. Notice features like a full-length built-in oak buffet, with matching double-door china cabinet hutches on each end. Between them is a serving counter space. The adjacent wall has more wonderful windows to bring the view and sunlight inside. With ample space for a dining table for 10 or 12, this room will help you create many wonderful family traditions.

Flow out the dining room through a second large cased opening and you enter the kitchen and breakfast room area. Get ready for a huge treat, because these rooms bring a splash of vibrant color to greet you. Notice the crisp white tile on the counter tops and on the spacious center island. Popping against this white is your main double sink, and the islands prep sink, both a vibrant red. The walls bring more red to excite your senses, nicely contrasted with a black wall oven, microwave and dishwasher. While extremely contemporary, the fabric in the wall covering brings to mind a warm country kitchen. But back to contemporary, the island has a black cook surface to contrast with the red vegetable prep sink, and the entire island is covered with an eye-popping wood vent hood with black trim. This spacious room has so much lovely red oak cabinetry and drawers you will have to find items to fill them all up! And wherever theres cabinetry, theres tons of tiled counter space to appreciate. There is even a wooden roll-top breadbox built in right below a pass through opening to the family room; which is beside that nook we mentioned on the family room side for your wine bottles. Also notice the open cabinets for cookbooks, and a nook for your computer! This room is so spacious that the 10-12 people you have in the dining room might have easily been in the kitchen helping you prepare the meal, or at least sharing conversation with you!

The breakfast room continues with the vibrant red color, lots of arched wood-trimmed windows, and as much dining space as most formal dining rooms contain. The Brady Bunch could have breakfast in here!

Still on the first floor, the isolated master bedroom suite awaits. Continuing with the tile flooring, it reflects subtle use of color in a strip of wall fabric near the ceiling, while the rest of the walls have a tone-on-tone white vertical striping effect that mimics beaded board walls. Several wonderful windows make this room so refreshing to enter. The white plantation shutters on the windows, with the louvered closet doors, complement the beaded-board effect on the masters walls to elicit feelings of warmth and family.

Enter through a oak-framed cased opening into the master bath and you see a large jetted tub, surrounded by one large center window and two on either side, with more crisp white plantation shutters. The custom platform around the tub has space enough for a large fern on each end of the tub in front of those two side windows, infusing natures color against a white backdrop. The platform is faced with red oak, as is the cabinetry, which is covered with crisp white tile. A separate tiled shower, walk-in closet, and a well-lit vanity top off this room nicely. From the master suite is a private patio for quiet enjoyment together.

Wonder whats up that beautiful stairway we saw earlier? Well, at the top is a spectacular view as you look over a white and oak wood bannister to the great room below. The remaining three bedrooms and two full baths (one with a tub, one with a shower), help to complete the homes portion of this property.

Of course, thats not nearly the rest of the story. Remember, this property has 320.441 acres of fenced and cross-fenced land with coastal grass, an irrigation pivot, six risers to water five pastures, centralized cattle pens, two ponds, Flat Creek running through the property and wonderful cover for wildlife. This entire property, including the spacious showplace of a home and LOTS of beautiful acreage, can be yours for only $1,400,000. Yes, thats right, the entire package! So, arent you ready to see it yourself? You know, in person?
