Smith Ranch

93 Acres | 2 Bedroom + 2 Bathrooms, Bonus Room, Workshop with Bathroom and Barn Looking for a place where life slows down and being in the country welcomes you home? This beautiful 93-acre ranch offers the perfect blend of peaceful country living and convenient access to town, located just 8 miles from historic downtown Hico, Texas. Set atop a scenic hill with views of the surrounding countryside, the 2,640 sq. ft. modern farmhouse captures the true spirit of ranch living while still offering comfort, peacefulness, and a relaxing design throughout the home and property. This ranch is a wildlife enthusiast's dream. The seller has carefully maintained a wildlife exemption on the property, encouraging native habitat and preserving natural brush areas that attract a wide variety of animals. The rare sighting of quail, deer, turkey, dove, and many other species is frequent throughout the ranch, creating a peaceful setting where nature truly thrives. The thoughtfully designed main home features two bedrooms, two baths, a formal dining room, two wood-burning fireplaces (one in the main dining and the other in the living room), and a spacious family room perfect for gathering with friends and family. The sunroom adds extra versatility with a custom swing bed for guests, a third dining area, and an open layout ideal for entertaining. A generous 12’ x 40’ covered front porch provides the perfect spot to relax in the evenings while enjoying wildlife sightings and breathtaking sunrises. Additional improvements include an oversized two-car carport, a 2,000 sq. ft. barn with water and separate electric service, and a well-equipped 1,200 sq. ft. workshop featuring air, heat, water, sewer, and a covered patio. This flexible space could serve as a hobby shop, small business location, guest quarters, or even be converted into a second home or barndominium for a family compound. The crown jewel of the ranch is the beautiful 1.5-acre stocked (Crappie, Bass & Bluegill) lake with a dock, perfect for fishing. Bailey Branch Creek winds through the property, drawing wildlife and adding to the ranch’s natural beauty. The land is fully fenced and cross-fenced for cattle or horses and features sandy loam, clay, and rocky soils supporting native grasses, mature oak, elm, pecan, and fruit trees, including peach, pear, and plum. This is an opportunity to enjoy ranch living paired with modern comfort just minutes from the charm of Hico.
