Texas-Sized Spanish Retreat - The Oak Crest Ranch near Eastland, TX

Breathtaking views of the Texas countryside greet guests at the gate of this Texas Sized Spanish Retreat near Eastland, TX.  It's the Oak Crest Ranch, a 400 acre property including a 12,000 sq. foot Spanish styled residence. The main home features an immaculate open floor plan with custom made amenities from top to bottom.  The dining room, great room, and "TV viewing" room all make up the master entertainment center.  The ranch is depicted through an array of windows also featured in the master entertainment center.  The upstairs features a loft design with 2 separate "rooms" on each side of the second floor serving as the library, all open to the master entertainment room.  The master bedroom and bathroom were constructed as 1 large open room.  2 additional bedrooms are also featured.  The office suite is perfect for a second home work space or another entertainment room; it is conveniently located in its own suite apart from the main home.  2 circle driveways lead up to the front entrance of the house and to the northern office suite.  Another driveway veers to the southern motor court and 5 car garage.  A variety of gardens embody the residential exterior of the home and compliment its Spanish design.  An equipment building and stable are also featured on the ranch totaling nearly 7,000 sq. feet of livestock space.

Oak Crest Ranch is definitely a contender in the second home real estate market of Texas.  The location is perfect for Metroplex buyers, but isn't known to be that "spice" of Texas like the Hill Country.  The large and very open floor plan is appealing in some parts of the home, but can also serve as a disadvantage; for example, the openness of the master bedroom and bathroom may be unappealing to potential buyers.  Nonetheless, a Spanish masterpiece in the quiet meadows of Texas.

The price tag: $10,000,000
