Whispering Oak Retreat is a beautifully manicured 39-acre oasis located between Graham and Breckenridge, just north of Ivan, TX. As you approach the property from Highway 67, you are greeted by a stunning rustic rock entrance complete with impressive double iron gates. A well-maintained road leads directly from the gate to the property headquarters, with a convenient circular drive providing easy access to all facilities. This road can easily accommodate RVs and trailers of all sizes. Divided into two equal pastures by a cross fence, the front section has been professionally cleared and mowed annually, promoting a thriving native grass crop suitable for a few longhorns or horses. This area is equipped with multiple water troughs for livestock and features a large pond while providing ample space for building a stable or corrals. In contrast, the back nineteen acres are rich with Post Oak trees, which act as a natural privacy fence for the home. Additionally, the woods behind the home offer opportunities for exploration and hunting. Perched on a hill is a one-of-a-kind custom home with a wraparound porch offering beautiful sunrise views to the east. This porch is built for entertainment, with its own fireplace, TV, bar, and ample seating for family and friends. As you enter through the handcrafted front door, you'll be captivated by the soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living area, creating a welcoming space for gatherings year-round. The well-designed kitchen flows seamlessly into the living room and features custom-built cabinetry, a spacious pantry, and a breakfast nook. Just off the kitchen steps down into a formal dining area gives a sense of privacy for needed family time. Just above the dining area is a loft that offers an additional space to suit your needs. Upon entering the primary suite, you will discover a serene room featuring a luxurious bathroom designed for both relaxation and functionality. On the opposite side of the home are two additional bedrooms that share a full bathroom. A thoughtfully designed laundry room offers generous storage, a convenient sink, and a clothes rack above the washer and dryer. Plus, it features a door leading to the backyard, making it easy to transition from outdoor activities to laundry on those messy days. Every interior and exterior door is crafted from solid wood, and the side door, originating from an English cottage, adds an unparalleled charm and character that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Enhancing the charm, the property features meticulously designed landscaping encircling both the main home and cabin, supported by a convenient sprinkler system. With abundant wildlife, this retreat offers a peaceful and authentic country experience.
Adjacent to the home is a charming cabin that offers guests a delightful retreat for privacy. This inviting space features a cozy hangout area adorned with a pergola and a wood-burning fireplace, perfect for enjoying a lovely nightcap under the stars. Adding to the property's exceptional value, Whispering Oak Retreat includes covered parking with an attached tool shed, as well as a larger barn that protects equipment from the elements. Every detail of this retreat reflects the care, dedication, and countless hours invested in its creation, and it now stands ready to welcome its next owner and the memories they will make.
