This contemporary farmhouse-style retreat, designed by Scotch Custom Homes, exudes elegance and surpasses expectations. Set on over 12 acres of gently rolling land in the desirable Ranches of Comal, it boasts a prime location just minutes from New Braunfels shopping, hospitals, and Gruene. Abundant natural light and soaring ceilings enhance the home's charm, featuring reclaimed pine floors, a gourmet gas kitchen with a massive island, and soapstone countertops. The airy shiplap walls beautifully contrast with the warm wood accents throughout. The main level includes the primary suite and a secondary guest suite, while the upper level offers a flexible space and a third bedroom suite. Surrounded by lush landscaping, the property is a wildlife sanctuary with an active wildlife exemption making taxes significantly lower. Outdoor living shines with expansive porches, a sparkling pool and hot tub, a barn, a 60-foot round pen, a fenced turnout area for horses, and a workshop. Hosting guests is effortless with a two-bedroom guest house featuring a full bath. Private well on property and PEC power grid keeps utilities lower than average.
