About this home

Located just outside Milford in western Ellis County, this well-maintained 12 ± acre rural property delivers the full package for country living within convenient reach of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. With an agricultural exemption already in place, new perimeter fencing, and infrastructure ready for immediate use, the property functions equally well as a full-time residence, hobby farm, or weekend retreat. The 2,400 ± SF home features an open-concept layout with tall ceilings, a living room anchored by a fireplace, and a well-appointed kitchen with a large island and bar seating. The primary suite includes dual vanities, a walk-in shower, soaking tub, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional guest bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, and a dedicated office provides flex space for remote work or household management. A covered back porch overlooks the property, and the fenced backyard is well-suited for children or pets. Attached two-car garage, aerobic septic system, all-electric utilities, and co-op services round out a move-in-ready residence. Improvements are built to support both country living and small-scale agricultural operations. A 2,000 ± SF equipment shop is equipped with 100-amp electrical service, water service, and two overhead bay doors, offering ample space for vehicles, equipment, and workshop use. The livestock barn features multiple stalls, electrical service, and water, and is designed for airflow and animal comfort through warmer months. The property currently supports goats, chickens, and turkeys. Additional improvements include a gated entrance, improved driveway, fenced livestock pasture, and an established garden area. The land is highly usable, with open pasture suitable for livestock and recreation, a seasonal creek along the southern boundary, two small ponds, and scattered trees providing diverse habitat. Deer, turkey, dove, and other native wildlife are regularly observed throughout the property.
