Home Details for 174 Ross Road Spur

An incredible opportunity for Waco-area convenience paired with a true country lifestyle. Roughly 20 minutes from Baylor University, Magnolia, and downtown Waco, this 5+ acre property blends historic charm, quaint ranchette living, and contemporary log-style craftsmanship. Consider the possibilities: Private hobby farm, VRBO, or simply your family's next reunion headquarters. You'll have a hard time choosing which part of the house to entertain (or unwind) in. An elevated porch fronts the farmhouse, overlooking the scenic countryside. Upon entry, original hardwood floors stretch across the sun-soaked sitting room– a rare, well-kept piece of the home's history. Cross through time and into the annexed wing, a showpiece of craftsmanship: dramatically vaulted knotted-pine ceilings and a staircase climbing to a carpeted loft, large enough for an extra bedroom. A breathtaking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the “Great Room”. To round out the interior conveniences: An office overlooking the outdoor oasis (with its own exterior entrance)— and a utility, mudroom with ample built-ins. French doors off the Great Room open to a covered back patio, the perfect spot to take in the land or soak in the jacuzzi as the sun sets. Summer days belong to the in-ground pool, complete with a water feature, tanning ledge, and multi-colored ambient lights. Retire to a hammock under the pavilion to watch the Texas moon rise as the string lights flicker on. A climate-controlled detached pool house with a full bath adds real flexibility — private guest quarters or rentable space. The 24x40 insulated workshop (roll-up overhead, loading pad) is ideal for a functional man-cave. FARM BONUSES: chicken coop, greenhouse area, separate storage shed, a 1,200+SF BARN (electricity, water, pens), and an active BEEHIVE BOX. No city taxes, exceptional road frontage, acreage to build.
