About This Home

8897 County Road 526

Some properties are simply homes, and others offer a lifestyle. Situated on 53 beautiful acres in Skidmore, Texas, this one-of-a-kind ranch retreat combines rustic Texas charm, thoughtful renovations, modern conveniences, and exceptional spaces for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the country life. Originally built in 1979 and extensively renovated in 2026, the property offers approximately 2,100 square feet of air-conditioned living space and 1,260 square feet of covered porches. The main residence features one bedroom and one-and-a-half baths, comfortable living spaces, and an inviting kitchen and dining area. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home features a dedicated pool table room complete with a full bar, sink, and mini refrigerator. Tucked discreetly behind the bar is a true conversation piece: a speakeasy-style poker room featuring original built-ins that add character and a touch of nostalgia. The converted garage adds even more versatility, offering two additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill full bathroom, along with approximately 580 square feet of conditioned space. The remaining area provides indoor storage, refrigerator and freezer hookups, and electrical connections for a workshop. Outdoor living is just as impressive. Enjoy quiet mornings and beautiful sunrises from the back porch or unwind with unforgettable Texas sunsets from the front porch. A 2026 Jacuzzi infrared hot tub, outdoor shower, and covered parking area with two RV hookups make entertaining effortless. The property is cross-fenced and features an automatic gated entrance, two functioning water wells with updated pumps, and a pond stocked with perch. Additional improvements include a new 2026 septic system, 2026 HVAC in the main home, and mini-split systems in the converted garage. Electrical infrastructure includes 325-amp main service and two 50-amp RV hookups.
