IMPROVEMENTS

Main House

This custom-built, modern Hill Country home, constructed in 2013, features just under 2,000 SqFt of living space. The downstairs offers a warm and inviting open floor plan that includes a 30’x16’ living area, 16’x14’ kitchen, 12’x14’ dining area, and a half bathroom. The downstairs floors are scored, polished concrete, and there is an abundance of double-hung and awning windows that let in just the right amount of natural light. Recessed lighting and premium ceiling fans are installed throughout the house. From the living area and kitchen, you can enjoy stunning panoramic views of the rolling hills to the east.

The kitchen is spacious, featuring a practical U-shaped layout that incorporates custom cabinets, various floating shelves, a large single-basin sink, and a bar sink. Appliances staying with the home include a chef-quality stainless-steel Blue Star gas range with six burners, a griddle, a double oven, and a pot filler. An industrial-grade stainless steel vent hood provides ventilation. There is also a stainless-steel Whirlpool refrigerator and a stainless-steel Bosch dishwasher.

A wide staircase with stainless-steel handrails leads upstairs to the primary suite. The flooring on the stairs and throughout the upstairs features porcelain tile with a wood grain pattern, creating a warm ambiance. The bedroom measures 14’x16’, providing ample room for a king-sized bed and other furniture. There are his-and-her’s walk-in closets (6’x12’ and 10’x12’), along with a hall linen closet, and a laundry closet housing a full-sized washer and dryer. From the bedroom, French doors open onto a small balcony overlooking the east side of the ranch. The 16’x10’ ensuite bath includes a large walk-in shower and a spacious soaking tub. It also features double vanities with a large prep area, ample storage, and a water closet for the toilet.

The home’s siding features a beautiful blend of Hardie board, Galvalume U-panel metal, and Oklahoma stone. A standing-seam metal roof, in excellent condition, protects the home, and a dual-zone Trane HVAC system (two 1.5-ton units) provides more than ample heating and cooling.

Pool House, Pool, and Pavilion

If you enjoy outdoor living and entertaining family and friends, this home has it all! Constructed in 2000 and completely remodeled in 2014, the pool house with 756 SqFt is a multifunctional space designed for a variety of uses, including an office, gym, artist’s studio, or bunkhouse. The current owners have used it as a trophy room, and the façade of several interior walls is stained & sealed with finished-grade plywood. The structure features vaulted ceilings, yellow pine flooring, double-hung and awning windows, a full-sized bathroom with a walk-in shower, a spacious utility room equipped with a full-sized washer & dryer, a 50-gallon water heater, and a functional kitchenette with stainless steel counters and storage. 

The pool house is set on pier & beam, has a standing seam metal roof, and is clad in Galvalume U-Panel metal siding, which is ideal due to its low-maintenance and impact-resistant properties. A custom aluminum awning spans over the entrance and down the east side, partially covering a 1,105-square-foot wooden deck that overlooks the swimming pool. The swimming pool, designed for water volleyball and in-pool lounging, was constructed in 2012 and is 17’x30’ with depths that range from 3.5’ to 5.5’ and a shallow built-in sun deck with bubblers. All of the pool equipment (pumps, plumbing, filtration system, etc.) was replaced in 2021. The pool house HVAC system was updated in 2022 with a new 2-ton Trane XR14 Heat Pump System.

Adjacent to the pool house and pool, a 628 SqFt covered, lighted pavilion serves as a perfect gathering place for outdoor dinners, spending time with family and friends, or simply relaxing in the cool shade. Sitting on a heavy-duty, finished concrete pad and accented with Oklahoma stone-wrapped steel support columns and stucco walls, the pavilion is equipped with a Sunbrite TV and is ready for an outdoor kitchen to be installed, as electricity and water have already been extended to the structure.

Guest House & Observation Deck

Sitting just behind the pool house and next to the pavilion, a private, beautifully maintained 720 SqFt, two-room guest house is located, wrapped in the same U-panel metal siding and topped with a standing-seam metal roof. The centerpiece of the guest house is the spacious primary bedroom, which features patio doors that open onto a pergola-covered, private deck, a full-sized bathroom that includes a soaker tub/shower combo with water thermometer, as well as a beautiful vanity area.

The cozy living room offers plenty of seating and features a practical stainless-steel kitchenette, along with large windows that overlook the wooded pasture. Two mini-splits provide both air conditioning and heating, and a 40-gallon water heater is also included. The guest house has a mix of double-hung and awning windows; all fitted with plantation blinds. The living room has a painted concrete floor, while the bedroom is pier-and-beam with luxury vinyl flooring. Attached to the guest house is an elevated, covered observation deck with built-in seating and solar lighting, creating the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine, feel the cool breeze, and watch the local wildlife in the evening.

Barn & Covered Parking

Behind the main house, a 1,152 SqFt metal barn sits on a concrete pad, providing ample space to store equipment and shelter up to three vehicles. The enclosed workshop area of the barn is 288 SqFt. Next to the guest house, there’s an additional two-stall covered carport that can be used for vehicles or extra storage.

Fencing, Cattle Pens, & Roads

The property is fenced along the south and west boundaries and partially fenced on the north. All fences are in good condition. A fenced lane along the southern boundary facilitates the movement of livestock from the front of the property to the back. There is also a set of custom cattle handling pens that include cutting & loading chutes, as well as a Bud Box and a Priefert head gate. Access throughout the ranch is provided by typical ranch roads and trails, which are in good condition.

WATER

There is one (1) water well on the property. This 30 GPM well, drilled in 1993, supplies water to the entire compound and the concrete water trough by the guest house. There is also a small stock pond that is located just east of and in front of the main house and pool house.

LAND 

For its size, KRH Ranch is an incredibly diverse property with several distinct areas. Surrounding the main home and adjacent structures is beautiful, low-maintenance landscaping that includes a sprinkler system, as well as mowed areas with scattered native trees, shrubs, and a diverse array of landscaping. The western portion of the property is characterized as an upland savannah with native grasses and scattered native trees. The elevation ranges from 1,700’ along Pfiester Rd. up to 1,760’ just northwest of the house.

WILDLIFE

White-tailed deer, Axis deer, Rio Grande turkeys, mourning and white-winged doves, and other indigenous wildlife species, such as raptors, songbirds, various small mammals, and reptiles, are also abundant and commonly seen.
