Property Description

Loma Linda Ranch | Exceptional 108+ Acre Hilltop Estate with Panoramic Views Loma Linda Ranch is an exceptional 108+ acre hilltop estate offering privacy, panoramic views and an extraordinary setting just minutes from historic Bellville. With approximately 60 feet of elevation change, rolling pastures, mature woods and three picturesque stocked ponds, the property captures the beauty and character of the Austin County countryside. Commanding one of the property's highest elevations, the custom 4,595 sq ft limestone residence is positioned to take full advantage of sweeping views in every direction. A gated concrete drive winds through the property to the residence, creating an impressive sense of arrival before opening to the beautifully landscaped grounds and hilltop setting. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace anchor the open-concept great room. Three sets of double doors and abundant windows fill the space with natural light while connecting the interior to expansive outdoor living areas. An elegant entry with custom tile flooring, spacious dining room and entertainer's kitchen provide inviting spaces for gatherings large or small. The private primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a sitting room, double-sided fireplace, dedicated home office, en-suite bath and expansive walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a versatile flex room provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Outdoor living is an integral part of the home, with 1,775+ sq ft of wide covered porches wrapping three sides of the residence, complemented by an outdoor fireplace and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. A two-acre fenced yard with irrigation, hardscape, mature landscaping and raised garden beds creates a beautifully maintained setting, while an additional private fenced yard adjoins the primary suite. Multiple outdoor gathering areas offer places to entertain, relax and enjoy the property's remarkable views. Across the breezeway, a private 475 sq ft guest cottage provides comfortable accommodations separate from the main residence. The 2,496 sq ft barn adds exceptional versatility with two air-conditioned workshops, a large drive-through center hall, bunkroom with private bath, storage, hidden three-bay tractor shed and a 12-foot-wide covered porch. A whole-house generator and concrete drive extending from the entrance to the residence and barn, along with generous guest parking, complete the thoughtfully planned improvements. Beyond the residence, the 108+ acres unfold across open pastures, mature woods, scattered tree clusters and three stocked ponds, creating a landscape equally suited to ranching, horses, recreation or simply enjoying the privacy and natural beauty of the property. Frontage on both Hwy 159 E and Pilgrims Rest Rd provides excellent accessibility while the hilltop residence remains privately situated within the acreage. Whether envisioned as a legacy estate, luxury ranch, family compound or private retreat, Loma Linda Ranch offers endless possibilities-a rare combination of exceptional improvements, usable acreage, privacy and unforgettable views in the heart of Austin County.
