The spacious dining room easily accommodates a table for 10, and a dedicated office includes its own closet. The primary suite offers room for full-sized furnishings, plus a bath with a garden tub, multi-jetted shower, separate vanities, and an intentionally designed closet. Upstairs, a flexible den/game-room-style second living area adds even more space to settle in.

Five-star services include 24-hour valet, concierge, and grocery and luggage assistance, alongside resort-style amenities: a heated pool with private cabanas, grilling stations, fitness center with yoga studio, and dedicated dog parks.

Set on 2.715 acres in Temple, Texas, this fully rebuilt custom retreat balances luxury with country comfort. Inside, four bedrooms and four uniquely designed bathrooms frame thoughtfully curated living spaces, where playful surprises are part of the architecture—like a magical playroom tucked behind a wardrobe-style door. The gourmet kitchen is designed for serious cooking, complete with a hidden walk-in pantry, while a dedicated game/craft room supports creative afternoons at home. Evenings can shift effortlessly from movie nights in the private theater to quiet time beside the inground pool. Outside, an expansive driveway and an additional concrete pad offer flexible use for RV parking, a home office, or even running a business from home. Two storage buildings—1600 and 2400 square feet—round out the property’s practical edge, making daily life feel both private and possibility-rich.

Set on mixed terrain along the year-round, spring-fed Coryell Creek, 4616 FM 929 offers a rare balance of productive land and shaded sanctuary in Gatesville. Mature hardwoods—including 150+ year-old Oaks and Walnut trees—frame open areas currently used for hay harvesting under an AG exemption. Water infrastructure is thoughtfully in place, with a 728-foot well to the Trinity Aquifer and a county water meter installed, with a 1” line already run underground to the back of the property. Access is straightforward via a private gravel road from the front gate, plus secondary entry through a 25-foot easement where buried power lines and the well are located. A stock tank invites quiet afternoons, while wildlife sightings include wild turkeys and whitetail deer. An enclosed 2–3 acre area adds newly planted trees, automatic irrigation, and a pig-proof honey bee enclosure—made for slower, land-centered days.
