Custom Hilltop Retreat on 21+ Acres with Private Lake Access in Sunset, TX
Set high above the land, this one-of-a-kind, three-story custom home offers stunning 360-degree panoramic views of rolling acreage, mature trees, wildflowers, and sparkling water—an ideal setting for nature lovers, weekend retreat seekers, or full-time rural living. The main residence features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and over 1,800 square feet of versatile living space. A walk-out basement currently serves as the primary suite, complete with a cozy nursery area and a cleverly tucked-away barber station within the closet—perfect for creative, multi-functional use.

An open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area is complemented by a spacious loft overlooking the main living space—ideal for a second living area, home office, or flex space. The property has been well maintained with a well house completed in 2018, a newly replaced well pump (September 2025), and a new water heater installed in October 2025.
Adding even more value is a separate 572-square-foot guest house featuring one bedroom, a full kitchen, full bath, washer and dryer connections, and a tankless water heater—providing private accommodations for guests, extended family, or potential rental use.
Outdoors, the property truly shines with four private ponds, access to a lake with dock potential, and a private water well.
