This property is ideal for family and friends to retreat and spend time together in the beauty and quietness of the Texas hill country by Lake Aquilla.
The ranch is nestled between the towns of Whitney and Hillsboro on Lake Aquilla, just 60 miles from the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. There is about a mile of dirt roads on the property to explore and view the natural beauty of the woods and observe the wildlife.
The custom cabin design is an open plan and includes an outdoor porch with ceiling fans and a spacious screened deck that overlooks the forest with glimpses of the lake ( best views of the lake are Fall and Winter). It's a peaceful place to sit out and star gaze and observe the night sky.
The property is adjacent to the Corp of engineers and allows for easy access to the lake.

The location is attractive, as it is away from city life, it's that getaway destination most city folk crave. WiFi, is available to keep you connected, you can work from this location. The lower level contains a spacious great room with plenty of outdoor views. We have board games, outdoor games, a ping-pong table, located on the porch. The first-floor bedroom sleeps 2 with a queen-sized bed and is next to the first-floor bathroom. The views from the living space are amazing, you get a panoramic view of the forest and glimpses of the lake, mostly during the Fall and Winter months. The porch has large chairs to lounge and an outdoor table. We have a two-person hammock for that relaxing moment, perfect for night sky views. Lakeview was designed to invite the outdoors inside and our guests outside.

Both bedrooms on the second floor are spacious. One bedroom has a king-sized bed and daybed/trundle. The other has a queen-size bed with daybeds/trundle in bedroom and is next to the bathroom. Both rooms have access to the outdoor screened balcony. The bathroom upstairs is designed to accommodate multiple users with its Jack and Jill layout allowing separate and private use of the tub, lavatory, and "the loo".

The balcony faces west to Lake Aquilla allowing spectacular views of the setting sun, a perfect place to listen to the wildlife at night. The fuzzball table is located on the screened balcony so it's also a great gathering place.

We 0ften get asked if there is a fire pit, the answer is YES. Call it a Texas sized fire-pit if you will. It's the best place for storytelling and marshmallow fixin space.

Also asked if the studio/ house next to the cabin is for other renters. No, the studio is an added 4th bedroom space when additional space is needed. If you have a large group or have someone that would prefer their own space, I think it would be a great addition. All hygiene needs will be done in the main house as the studio doesn't have running water.

Lots of opportunities for enjoying nature and native wildlife. You will see animal tracks and an occasional arrowhead. You might hear cattle mooing at a distance, they belong to the neighbors and make for a wonderful photo prop.

There is a canoe and kayak including life jackets for your use during your Lakeview adventures.

The lake has opportunities for boating, fishing, and for hiking.

There is also a meditation garden next to Lakeview for those quiet moments.

Come sit under the trees and listen to nature's music or the quiet whispers of your soul at rest.
