One of Plano’s Most Unusual Ranch Properties Just Hit the Market

Ranch properties are perhaps the truest expression of Texas living. North Texas offers world-class cities, top-rated schools, and every shopping and dining option imaginable, but nothing compares to wide-open skies and room to roam. What happens when you combine the appeal of ranch living with the convenience of suburban life? You get this rare equestrian retreat in Plano’s Ranch Estates as this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank.

Situated on 2.89 acres in Plano’s Ranch Estates, this four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 5,579-square-foot home blends resort-style living with a true equestrian lifestyle.

“The setting offers a true ranch lifestyle with a unique opportunity for buyers,” said listing agent Melissa Oates with Allie Beth Allman & Associates. “Because the horses can convey with the property, the next owner could move in and immediately enjoy riding the nearby trails and embracing everything this equestrian property has to offer.”

And there is certainly a lot to enjoy. Located right next to the Bob Woodruff Nature Preserve, creating the feeling of being miles from the city.

“One of the property’s best features is its location directly across from Bob Woodruff Park and the trails. Looking out across the park gives you the feeling of having an enormous natural landscape right outside your window,” said Oates.

As far as the home itself, it’s a thoughtfully renovated home with generous living proportions. With soaring ceilings and an open floor plan, it’s almost overwhelming in its sprawling presence. The main living room immediately draws your attention through exposed beams, a monolithic mirrored fireplace, and one epic wall of windows.

“This is one of the larger homes in the development, and it has such a distinctive European-inspired architectural style. The renovation created expansive living spaces with soaring ceilings and a floor plan that feels grand and welcoming,” said Oates.

The kitchen is anchored by an oversized marble island, professional appliances, custom cabinetry, and captivating views.

While these spaces serve as highlights, this home offers so much more. Around every corner, gathering and communal areas add so much livability and flexibility, making it equally suited for entertaining and an equestrian lifestyle.

The guest quarters, complete with a private entrance and full kitchen, offer flexibility for extended family, guests, or live-in help.

Outside, the amenities continue. Featuring modern Mediterranean landscaping, a tranquil pool, a covered outdoor kitchen, and an expansive patio lounge, it’s a true Texas-sized retreat.

The seven-stall barn includes both a tack room and feed room, making the property ready for its next owner — and, if desired, its next horses.

Melissa Oates with Allie Beth Allman & Associates lists 3800 Ranch Estates Drive for $1.95 million.
