RUST AND ROOTS FARM

Endless West Texas sunsets and wide-open Abilene skies set the stage for this stunning 15+-acre retreat in Wylie West ISD. Tucked away at the end of a quiet county road, this custom farmhouse, built in December 2024, offers the peaceful living that defines life in Abilene, space to breathe, room to grow, and views that never get old. Mornings begin with coffee on the porch as the horizon glows and the breeze rolls across open pasture. Fall evenings gather around the wood-burning stove, while long summer nights are spent outside under wide Texas skies watching the sun set over your land. Wildlife moves freely, ponds reflect the changing seasons, and the acreage invites hunting, livestock, gardening, or simply enjoying the freedom of owning your own piece of Texas. Inside, the home feels refined yet welcoming. The kitchen was designed as a gathering place with natural quartzite countertops, a farmhouse sink, a gas range, and a generous walk-in pantry ready for canning season, bulk storage, or feeding a full house. The layout offers space for family, guests, and quiet evenings upstairs while maintaining an open, comfortable flow. Built with intention, the home blends efficiency and durability with everyday comfort, spray foam insulation, high-efficiency systems, tankless hot water, reverse osmosis drinking water, a water softener system, and thoughtful upgrades throughout. The 40x40 shop with a 40z20 lean-to was built with vision for the future hobbies, equipment, expansion, or guest space. Livestock fencing, underground utilities, and fiber optic internet allow you to enjoy country living without sacrificing connection. More than land. More than a home.
