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 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.
