Description
Description: Northridge Ranch is a gentleman's Hill Country ranch that offers seclusion with luxury. The main house and guest quarters are thoughtfully executed, the land is attractive and usable, and the paved road frontage makes for easy access. This would be a great full-time residence or weekend getaway, and also has income potential with short-term rentals. Improvements: The main compound was all custom built by the current owner in 2021. The 3,666 square foot 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom main house has ample natural lighting with tranquil views of the nearby pond and manicured natural landscape from your kitchen, dining, living and primary bedroom. Bringing a natural feel indoors, the interior includes hickory and American walnut cabinetry and high ceilings throughout with solid red cedar beams. The spacious primary suite has dual vanities, large walk-in shower, built in tub and ample closet space. The office provides a productive space for when you need to stay connected. The back porch, also overlooking the pond, runs the entire length of the house and has two tiers plus a pergola with ceiling fans and strung lighting to add to the ambiance. The guest quarters are connected to the main house by a peaceful courtyard with a cluster of oak trees set amongst a water garden, which begins with a waterfall and traverses through the courtyard. The three private guest suites have kitchenettes, full bathrooms and each have separate entrances leading to the courtyard. There is a 5-car garage offering ample parking and storage. Across the pond from the main compound is a cedar gazebo, creating more outdoor living space with rock flooring, granite countertops, a large fire pit, and a built-in pizza oven. The gazebo has power and water with one sink. A separate 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom guest cabin was recently renovated and is located a short walk through the woods and has its own separate entrance from the county road.
