Discover the Ultimate Texas Retreat at Placid Farm – 140 Acres of Serenity and Opportunity
Tucked away in the rolling hills of Caldwell County, Placid Farm is more than just a property—it’s a rare opportunity to own a true gentleman’s ranch that harmonizes luxury, recreation, and natural beauty. Spanning 140 acres of pristine land, this exceptional ranch is an ideal haven for those seeking a private retreat, a recreational paradise, or a place to establish a working farm or equestrian operation.
The centerpiece of the property is a thoughtfully designed 3,519 sq ft custom home, perched atop a hill to provide breathtaking views of the land and the wildlife that calls it home. The main residence features 3 spacious bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a large 3-car detached garage with a finished bonus room above—perfect for an office, studio, or additional guest space. Inside, the home exudes warmth and character with reclaimed longleaf pine flooring, travertine tile, and exposed timber beams that create a rustic yet refined atmosphere. The chef-inspired kitchen boasts custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and top-tier finishes, making it the ideal space for both cooking and entertaining.
Step outside, and you'll find an expansive wrap-around porch that invites you to relax and take in the panoramic views of the lush hay meadows, peaceful ponds, and abundant wildlife that grace the property. Whether you’re sipping your morning coffee or watching the sunset, this porch is the perfect place to connect with nature.
For guests or additional income potential, the property also includes a charming 1900s refurbished farmhouse offering 1,583 sq ft of comfortable living space, with three bedrooms, two baths, and a detached two-car garage. This vintage home is ideal for hosting visitors, or it could be a potential rental for extra income.
Nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts will fall in love with the variety of recreational opportunities this property offers. With three stocked ponds—one of which is teeming with bass—anglers can enjoy world-class fishing right from their backyard. The ranch is also home to a thriving population of whitetail deer, ducks, doves, hogs, and small varmints, making it a prime location for hunting. A mix of open fields and wooded areas create the perfect backdrop for both relaxation and adventure.
Whether you envision raising livestock, growing crops, or pursuing equestrian activities, the property is equipped to meet your needs. Two functional barns provide ample storage for equipment and supplies, while the old windmill adds a touch of historic charm to the landscape. A 20,000-gallon rainwater collection system provides supplemental water to the main residence, with both homes enjoying water from the reliable Goforth SUD.
Perhaps one of the most enticing features of Placid Farm is that 100% of the mineral rights will convey to the new owner, offering potential for future revenue.
