This magnificent 269 acre property has it all! If you like to hunt, hike, or mountain climb this is the place. This property encompasses the historic "Blowout Mountain" or as some call it, "The Sleeping Volcano". The mountain has a huge crater in the center that was allegidly created many years ago by a sink hole. The property currently carries a wildlife tax exemption but could also be used for cattle grazing. There are two cultivated fields on the property that are currently being used for hay production, five stock tanks, native grasses, and an assortment of trees including live oak, mesquite, red bud, wild plum, hackberry, and junipers. The owners spared no detail when designing and building this energy efficient three bedroom, two bath, home. The Decra shingle lifetime roof was installed in 2019, the concrete ICF (insulated concrete form) walls are covered with limestone rock on the exterior and textured sheetrock on the interior. The Rheem Marathon water heater carries a lifetime tank warranty. Most of the interior floors are hardwood with the kitchen countertops being stylestone quartz. Three sides of the home have a wraparound porch, with a carport attached to one end of the home. The average electric bill in 2020 was $139/Month. Water is provided by a rural water service and is enhanced by an 1100 gallon holding tank pressured by a booster pump. Wastewater is maintained through an onsite conventional septic system.
