Property Description
A rare North Texas opportunity on over 20 ACRES in Leonard. Tucked away at the end of a private drive, this beautifully updated modern farmhouse offers privacy, flexibility, and long-term upside. The property consists of seven platted lots-keep all 20+ acres as your own private retreat, or sell individual lots in the future as you choose. The home itself has been extensively renovated and is truly move-in ready. Updates completed in April 2025 include a brand-new roof, fully remodeled kitchen, utility room, and all three full baths, fresh interior paint throughout, and new exterior siding. Inside, cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, welcoming feel. The kitchen features quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, and a built-in wine refrigerator. The main level includes a spacious dining area, large living room with fireplace, media room, oversized utility room, and a private primary suite with ensuite bath. A second bedroom and full bath on the first floor provide ideal guest or multigenerational space. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with scenic views, a third full bath, and a hidden bonus space behind a bookshelf-perfect for storage, a reading nook, or a playroom. Outside, the property truly shines. Enjoy a covered front porch with swing, watch deer roam the partially wooded acreage, relax by the fire pit, or tend to the garden with drip irrigation. There's ample room for RVs, boats, livestock, or simply wide-open space to enjoy. Private, updated, and full of potential-this is country living with options. Schedule your private tour TODAY!
