This Blue Ridge Traditional Is A Little House On An Almost Prairie

If you’re looking for small town, Mayberry living, have you met Blue Ridge? It’s about an hour north of Dallas, just east of Melissa and nestled in the county of Fannin.

There’s a restaurant in Blue Ridge called Cattleman’s Cafe, so if you’re wondering if it’s the real deal small town feel, it most definitely is. 

Folksy And Fresh

Right now, about 822 people call Blue Ridge home, but with one simple mortgage – or cash purchase, you know a seller always loves cash – you can be number 823.

The Blue Ridge website is as folksy as the city itself and they’ll be the first to tell you that if you’re looking for a fresh start at a slower pace, come on up for a festival (those were the days) or some fellowship (six feet!). 

And if you’re cheesed out by the charm, consider this: Due to COVID-19, the city has shut down shutdowns. Meaning, if you can’t pay your utility bills, they’re not going to cut you off because that wouldn’t be very neighborly. Now THAT’S charming. 

Acres to Roam

But enough sell on the city, let’s get to the house. Set on 2.69 rolling acres of green grass and also flat land because hello, we’re still in North Texas, there’s a 1,996-square-foot 2015 build that’s just waiting for you and your oversized sectional.

It’s a classic traditional brick home with modern stone accents and a porch where you can watch the sunset and no doubt swat mosquitos at an alarming rate. But that far north bug zappers are probably standard issue.

How about some hardwoods throughout though? And an open kitchen so you can yell out the answers to Wheel while you whip up a little din-din? The stonework continues on the breakfast bar and those honey-hued cabinets are working it. 

Speaking of work, you can set up shop right in the office off the entry. Take Zoom calls for days and never get out of them PJ bottoms because why not? 

Get out of town with that garden tub in the master plus dual vanities and a separate shower. Every feature of this house says slow it on down, little doggies. (We’re so not letting go of that country theme.)

Especially the back porch where you can look out and literally see no one but also wonder, “Who’s going to mow all of that?”
