This property is ideal for family and friends to retreat and spend time together in the beauty and quietness of the Texas hill country by Lake Aquilla.
The ranch is nestled between the towns of Whitney and Hillsboro on Lake Aquilla, just 60 miles from the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex. There is about a mile of dirt roads on the property to explore and view the natural beauty of the woods and observe the wildlife.
The custom cabin design is an open plan and includes an outdoor porch with ceiling fans and a spacious screened deck that overlooks the forest with glimpses of the lake ( best views of the lake are Fall and Winter). It's a peaceful place to sit out and star gaze and observe the night sky.
The property is adjacent to the corp of engineers and allows for easy access to the water.

The balcony faces west to Lake Aquilla allowing spectacular views of the setting sun, a perfect place to listen to the wildlife at night. The fuzzball table is located on the screened balcony so it's also a great gathering place.
Often get asked if there is a fire pit, the answer is YES. Call it a Texas sized fire-pit, a great place for storytelling and marshmallow smore fixing.
Also asked if the house next to the cabin is for other renters. No, the studio is an added space for those who are looking for additional space. If you have a large group, this is an additional rental space, please inquire prior to state so it can be ready for your arrival.
