This historic 126 acre property is located about one mile west of Chappell Hill, TX. The 3 bed/ 3 bath, stately home sits atop the highest of the rolling hills on this ranch. It was built in the late 1850s by Col. William M. Sledge, who came to Chappell Hill from Tennessee. Late in the 19th Century, the Washington County Railroad was constructed and extended through the southern (back) part of this property. It has since been abandoned. This one of a kind property has access via the main entrance on HWY 290E and Chadwick Hogan Rd. from the south. The existing driveway roads are well maintained and in excellent condition.

The two-story home offers far-reaching views, especially from the second floor porch and balcony. There are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the lower floor, along with a spacious, dog run style main foyer and living area. This area also opens to the back yard patio and swimming pool. The bedrooms in this home all have large closets with built-ins for ample space. The first floor also features a second living room- would be great for a study or entertainment, as well as a fourth bedroom.
On the second floor, you will find the upstairs living area/ study. This room gives an open feel and a wonderful covered balcony to walk out onto and admire the views. Also upstairs are the master bedrooms and bathroom, as well as a very spacious, walk in master closet.
The ranch style kitchen features custom cabinetry and tile backsplash, along with a built in, butcher block counter top island, and large pantry. The views from the eating area adjoining the kitchen allow you to survey the rolling pasture land and large pond in the center of the ranch.
Other features of the home include original custom doors, excellent craftsmanship with built-ins, glass inlays, and unique, ranch style tile work.
Outside, the property features a spacious fenced in yard shaded by huge pecan and oak trees. The back yard has a patio and large swimming pool- perfect for entertaining friends and family.

This property also has two other houses: One is a bunk house, which could be used as a guesthouse or ranch manager home. The other is a small, wooden home that has been closed and boarded- there are several possibilities for it (restoration, moving, etc.). The ranch features a great horse barn with 8 stalls and a working/ washing area, living quarters, and an office. The property is already set up with traps and pens, as well as many interior cross fences. Theres even three more barns and a couple storage sheds.
Not only is this property a great place to call home, own as a weekend getaway or working horse place, but it also lends itself to a few investment opportunities by way of resale of the frontage on HWY 290 as commercial property.
