81.23 Acres in Hico, TX - $850,000
FIT FOR A CHAMPION! 17903 N US Hwy 281, Hico-
Imagine youre a world champion rodeo cowboy. As you turn off Hwy 281 at your entrance, you decompress from your travels on the long lane; lined by majestic oaks. You are now on your 81.23-acre ranch, approaching your very custom, Texas Cut-Stone home with its full-length front (& back) porches. Lined with rocking chairs and western sconces shooting out soft light, t to them. These offer a picturesque view of your ranch.
Head inside and you are greeted by your loved ones first, followed by the stone fireplace in the open-concept GREAT room. It majestically climbs up - almost pointing to the 24 ft peak ceilings, clad in gleaming wood planks. Your corner office is tucked behind the partial wall, which is topped with your champion saddles; evidence of your passion.
Matching the homes faade and the semi-circular fireplace, the breakfast bar ...
Matching the homes faade and the semi-circular fireplace, the breakfast bar - also semi-circular - provides a subtle definition that youre entering the impressive kitchen. Complementing the custom cabinets with rope-shaped trim and granite tops are built-in stainless steel appliances. Newly replaced, these include the refrigerator, double wall ovens and microwave, dishwasher, and a 6-burner smooth-top range! In the midst, providing even more workspace, is the matching island. Beside the kitchen is the dining area, with plenty of space for a massive dining set, including china cabinet.
The master suite, like the entire home, is equally grand and offers seclusion on its own end of the home. Youll enjoy direct access to the back porch via French doors on each side of the bed. There are walk-in closets for all your jeans, boots and hats. Within the bathroom, you can choose to relax in the jetted tub, or step into the glass-enclosed separate shower. The long vanity has his & her sinks, separated by a dressing table area. Each has its own framed mirror and great lighting. At the end is a full-size linen closet.
On the other side of the home are three more spacious bedrooms. Two of those share a Jack & Jill bath with a vanity dedicated to each bedroom with a shared tub/shower in the center of the room.
The utility room includes built-ins and washer/dryer hookups on one side, and a sink and additional cabinetry on the other. There is a 6x7 ft storage room with space for your freezer and more, plus another room which is used as another massive closet!
But champions need more to stay in top rodeo condition; like a wood-clad exercise room. And when you need a break, step directly out to the back porch and soak in the views! Beyond this porch, which has a niche for your gas grill, is a large backyard, with lush sod for the children (and adults) to enjoy. Cowboys also need a place for their horses & cattle. This ranch includes a barn with 2-15x19 stalls, feed/tack & 2-14x60 overhangs. There is a pipe-fenced arena for polishing your roping technique without having to leave the ranch. Your stock will not only benefit from the 80+ acres of grazing, but the two Government ponds that have never gone dry and three more tanks.
It is easy to see that this home, built for six-time world champion Cody Ohl and his family, would be wonderful for you or any other champion in your family.
