The 2,170 sq ft 3bed/3bath home was built in 1995, but has been recently remodeled by the current owners. The attention to detail in this home is spectacular. The owners were very meticulous and detailed in their renovation, leaving only the floor, fireplace and other small features as original. The furnishings could convey with the sale, at the right price. The home is also equipped with smart features that can be controlled remotely from your phone and give a peace of mind when not there. Beautifully situated on a ridgeline, the home offers amazing views overlooking the pasture and one of the tanks from the kitchen and living rooms windows. New landscaping has also been done to the outside of the home, along with a newly constructed storage area underneath the carport. The current location of the home is out of the FEMA floodplain (please see attached amended floodplain).

BARN:

Located in the pasture and to the east of the home is a massive +/- 35 ft x 85 ft barn with a roll door and side door.

LAND:

Caracara Ranch is accessed by a short easement road (approximately 0.25 miles) from Hwy 71. Once through the easement road, you are met with a gate/cattle guard that leads into the ranch. The whole property is perimeter fenced and also has some cross fencing separating the pasture from the home. There is approximately 60 ft in elevation change throughout the property with other hilltop homesites available for a secondary residence.

The ranch has an incredible variety of trees and wildlife. Oaks, pines, mesquites, cedar and pecan trees are just some of the species that can be found on the property. An incredible pecan tree orchard is located in the center of the property with a manicured understory. Whitetail deer, hogs, wild turkey, waterfowl and various species of birds can all be found on the property as well. There are three tanks on the ranch, two of which have never gone completely dry since the owners have been there. The tank closest to the house is also stocked with bass. Alum Creek serves as the eastern boundary of the ranch. All neighboring tracts are of substantial size with each of them over 100 acres. This comes as a huge asset as its becoming more difficult to find large neighbors in this area.
