Property Description
A rare North Texas opportunity on over 20 ± ACRES in Leonard. Tucked away at the end of a private drive, this updated modern farmhouse offers privacy, flexibility, and long-term potential. The property spans seven platted lots, giving you options-enjoy all 20+ acres as a private retreat or sell individual lots in the future. The home has been extensively renovated and is move-in ready. Updates completed in April 2025 include a new roof, fully remodeled kitchen, utility room, and all three full baths, fresh interior paint, and new exterior siding. Inside, cathedral ceilings and abundant natural light create an open, comfortable feel. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, updated fixtures, and a built-in wine refrigerator. The main level offers a spacious living area with fireplace, dedicated dining, media room, oversized utility room, and a private primary suite with ensuite bath. A secondary bedroom and full bath downstairs provide ideal guest or multigenerational flexibility. Upstairs includes two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a hidden bonus space behind a bookshelf-perfect for storage, a reading nook, or play space. Outside, the land is the highlight. Partially wooded with rolling terrain, the property offers room for livestock, recreation, or simply space to enjoy. Features include a covered front porch with swing, fire pit, garden area with drip irrigation, and ample parking for RVs and boats. Private, updated, and versatile-this is country living with real options.
