Enchanting 178-Acre Equestrian Estate in Waxahachie With Unique History

251-N-Oak-Branch-Road-Front

Wide-open spaces are becoming more and more valuable, and when you park an architecturally fascinating structure on a broad swath of peak Texas soil that’s within commuting distance of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, you can see the obvious attraction. But this beautiful Victorian in Waxahachie is so much more than just a house, or just an equestrian property. It’s living history. 

“When you’re on the property, you feel like you have stepped back in time will all of the modern conveniences,” says David Griffin and Company Realtor Lori Ericsson, who is co-listing this unique Waxahachie Victorian with Jack Carter. “The atmosphere takes you back to a time when a horse and buggy could easily trot down the driveway to pick you up to take you the general store.”

The seamless merging of Old World style and modern amenities makes this Waxahachie Victorian an easy pick for our High Caliber Home of the Week presented by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans. And considering the 178 acres of exceptionally maintained land, plus the many outbuildings and structures, makes this home ideal for those who want a true country retreat.

“Between the eclectic home, the large art studio, horse facilities, hayfields, and large forest area with a nature path, the home has something for everyone,” Ericsson said.

This stunning Victorian is just 35 miles from Dallas and was loved by one Dallas-based family for almost 40 years, Ericsson said. The property has had many improvements, resulting in a picturesque retreat with tremendous possibilities.

“The oldest part of the home dates from the 1880s,” says Ericsson. “Dallas architect Bill Booziotis did a major addition to the home to incorporate a magnificent state-of-the-art kitchen, media room, elevator, and dual master baths.”

“The stained glass ceiling and the iron horses at the gate, both of which were crafted by the owner, are my favorite,” Ericsson added. “We typically do not see this type of quality and detail that was given when this home was constructed. The tremendous amount of custom woodwork and leaded glass detail on the doors is sure to please. I cannot forget to mention that the home even has a climate-controlled dog house with large run next to the house. The saloon in the stables is also incredible.”

“If I just had $2.45 million, I would call this place my forever home, bring my horse and call it a day,” Ericsson mused.

This Victorian in Waxahachie has five bedrooms, four full baths plus one-half bath, a study, a media room, a living rooom, and a parlor, too. Coffered ceilings, vintage touches, and beautiful stone throughout elevate the spaces without adding too much historical weight. There’s an additional 2,200-square-foot studio, a rental home, and a six-car garage.

“The property appeals to a select group of buyers,” said Ericsson. “It would make a great home for the doctor or executive that wants to raise a family away from the chaos of the city. It seems to be a perfect setting for a bed and breakfast, event center, or weekend retreat. It could also be a great site for a nonprofit to spread out. Plus, there is enough housing that if you do not want to care for the property yourselves, there is plenty of room for staff to live on the property in one of the apartments or a cottage.”
