Picture morning light spilling across 21 ag-exempt acres of open Texas countryside. The quiet broken only by birdsong and a breeze through the pasture. Welcome to Prairie Ridge Ranches in Jonesboro, TX! Here space, privacy, and two homes come together in one extraordinary property. The renovated main home offers 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms of comfortable, move-in-ready living, while a separate guest house—2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and a half bath—opens the door to possibilities most properties can't touch: house extended family, host guests in their own private space, create a rental income stream, or simply carve out a retreat of your own. This homestead has been substantially improved since its 2024 sale, including approximately 10 additional acres, new roofs on both residences plus the shop and garage, complete perimeter fencing with pasture cross-fencing, new PEX plumbing in the Stone House, new mini-split systems in both homes, improved well and holding-tank monitoring, and a 2025 swim spa on its own dedicated concrete slab. Outside, the possibilities multiply further with a shop, garage, multiple carports, barn, livestock stalls, a greenhouse, and water available right in the pasture. With fenced acreage, a private well, and an agricultural exemption already in place, this property is ready for livestock, gardening, recreation, or simply soaking in the peace of country living—all while offering meaningful property tax savings. After a long day working the land, ease into the swim spa and let the quiet surroundings do the rest. Whether you're picturing a peaceful homestead, a multi-generational family compound, a small livestock operation, a private retreat, or simply room to spread out, Prairie Ridge Ranches delivers a rare combination of real acreage, two functional homes, meaningful upgrades, an existing ag exemption, and genuine country charm. Deed restrictions apply; annual dues cover road maintenance only.
