It’s Modern And Rustic And It’s On 215 Acres

It’s really hard not to start this one with Y’AAAAAAAALL because Y’all. This isn’t a home, it’s your own private resort that’s also a tree farm!! Sprawling across 215 acres in Winnsboro, 100 miles east of Dallas, Harmony Springs Ranch has everything you’re looking for.

There’s a main house, a workshop, a four-car carport, three water wells, natural springs that feed a pond, and the neighboring private late. The one-acre pond is “stocked with catfish and could be expanded up to a 10-acre lake.” I mean, you have 215 acres to work with, so why not?

Dave Perry-Miller’s DeCarla Anderson said the highest point of the property is cleared and would make a great location for a second homesite. Are you getting that? You can add a whole other home to your home!!

The main house is 10 feet shy of 3,500 square feet and it’s a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, rustic-meets-modern-with-a-pop-of-color and a-whole-lot-of-luxury, home. It’s big and the bedrooms are bigger. Generous even.

What about that pop of color? It’s in the primary bathroom, that Anderson said can rival any high-end hotel suite, it’s a huge, red, square, jetted, soak away your cares after a long day of living off the grid, freestanding bathtub. It is something.

Throughout the house there are hand hewn cypress wood beams inside and out. The floors are all covered in Acacia wood, travertine, or laminate flooring. The appliances are stainless, the countertops granite and the closets? Oversized.

What’s most striking about this property is the modern finish out. In a rural setting you don’t tend to see mid-century design inspiration mixed with so many other elements. It’s what Anderson calls eclectic rustic. It’s an incredibly creative space and would be the perfect home for an artist. Since there’s so many outdoor adventures literally just waiting for you, this could also be the home of an avid sportsman. Or an eccentric millionaire. Or a C-level executive that really wants to get away from it all. Or a family that’s looking for a little, okay, a lot, of space to roam.

Just three years ago, a huge pool with spa and sunning deck and swim up table was added out back, too. And now it really has it all.

It’s just an incredibly unique property, unlike any other out there. And if you’re hesitating because what if you lose power or the Internet stinks? Consider this, there are not one but two one-thousand-gallon-propane tanks and a dedicated backup generator that can power the whole house. And that Internet? It’s broadband, baby.

Anderson has 535 County Road 3992 listed for $3.78 million. If you’re interested, you should definitely take a look. Just know you might not want to leave.
