Main Residence & Improvements
The centerpiece of Oak Hill Ranch is a 4,300 square foot custom luxury ranch home featuring 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple living spaces, and incredible interior design with high end finishes throughout. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes three downstairs bedrooms, an upstairs guest suite, a spacious living room, a sitting room, a laundry room, and an upstairs media/game room. Throughout the home, extensive custom finishes and designer selections create a level of quality rarely found in ranch properties.
The home’s architectural design and interiors were thoughtfully curated in collaboration with Austin-based Bide Studio, blending exceptional natural elements, hand-selected furnishings, and timeless design to create a refined yet inviting Texas ranch retreat.
The kitchen was designed for both entertaining and everyday functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, premium Grade A marble countertops and island, antique pantry doors, an Italian ILVE oven range, and a Monogram refrigerator and dishwasher. Additional luxury finishes throughout the home include Marvin Elevate windows and doors, Venetian plaster accents, lacquered brass and antique Kallista fixtures, custom floating shelves, two gas fireplaces, and designer furnishings.
Outdoor living spaces were designed to maximize the incredible long range views and peaceful setting surrounding the home. Large covered front and back patios overlook the landscape and provide ideal spaces for entertaining or relaxing. Additional outdoor improvements include a large pergola, a built in Coyote propane grill, a Nordic hot tub, a resort style fire pit, professional landscaping, and a sprinkler system servicing the sod and flowerbeds surrounding the home.
The owner is willing to convey most of the furnishings with the sale, allowing the property to be enjoyed as a truly turnkey luxury ranch home from day one.
Land, Wildlife & Recreation
Oak Hill Ranch offers an outstanding blend of rolling topography, mature hardwoods, native pastureland, and scenic elevation changes that create both beauty and functionality across the ranch. The property is covered with a healthy mix of live oak, cedar elm, post oak, Ashe juniper, American beautyberry, native grasses, and seasonal wildflowers, providing exceptional habitat and year-round beauty.
Wildlife is abundant throughout the ranch, including whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkeys, dove, feral pigs, bobcats, coyotes, and numerous species of native birds and other wildlife. The property currently holds a Wildlife Management tax exemption.
Recreational improvements across the property are extensive and thoughtfully designed. A custom 2-acre golf practice range includes two tee boxes and eight wedge targets, creating a unique recreational feature. Well-maintained internal roads provide excellent access throughout the ranch, while the entire perimeter is fully fenced.

The ranch is exceptionally well-equipped with high-quality utility infrastructure and self-sufficiency improvements. Water is supplied by a well system with a dedicated well house and a 1,000-gallon storage system, along with PVC infrastructure capable of filling the pond. Additional utility improvements include a Viqua saltwater softening system, a 500-gallon propane tank, a 150-foot internet and cell booster tower, and electricity provided by United Cooperative Services.
