Set on approximately 41 ag-exempt acres in Marble Falls, this property showcases spectacular hilltop views, abundant wildlife and the beautiful sunrises and sunsets the Texas Hill Country has to offer. The approximately 4,366-square-foot home offers 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, expansive windows, and a great room with vaulted ceilings and a highly efficient, modern wood stove featuring an electronic fire starter and forced-air heat, capable of heating the entire home. An open kitchen with a generous center island provides room to gather, while the swimming pool offers a place to unwind and enjoy the surrounding landscape. The home also features exterior access to a bedroom with an adjoining media/bonus room, providing flexible space with potential for guest accommodations or rental use. Whether you envision a short term rental, a vacation ranch getaway, an investment property, or your next home, this property offers possibilities to explore. Adding to the property's versatility is a unique, air conditioned blocked wall closet with a vaulted style security door located in the primary bedroom. Perimeter fencing consists of approximately 300 linear feet of 4.5 foot low fencing, with the remainder enclosed by 8-foot game fencing. An electric entrance gate with a security camera adds convenience. The property includes a charming cowboy cabin equipped with electricity, a 50-by-60 ft barn, 24-by-36 ft workshop, multiple storage buildings, livestock facilities, and two wells. Two stock tanks are currently below capacity but have filling ability, offering potential for future water collection as rainfall and conditions allow. An owned solar system sits atop the barn and includes two 7.5 kW SolarEdge inverters and 42 Jinko Solar 400-watt panels. This grid-tied system supplies electricity while utility power is available. Excess production is exported to the grid, and returns are subject to the electric provider's buyback plan. The solar system does not currently power the home during utility outages but could be converted to an off-grid setup if desired. Backup power is supplied to the house, pool, and both barns by a 50 kW Kohler generator powered by a 4BT Cummins engine with an 80-gallon fuel tank. Per the seller, estimated runtime is approximately three days under full load; actual runtime varies with usage and operating conditions. A deer stand tower, deer corn feeders, and an 80-gallon stationary air compressor convey. This property has the potential to be a true self-sustaining ranch retreat.
