301 E FM 1118

Set on 6 acres in the Ricardo area at the southeast corner of FM 1118 and N CR 1060, this property has long been a familiar sight—recognized for its lush, green front lawn and the unmistakable pride of ownership that has defined it for decades. With over 70 years of history tied to the land, it offers a rare opportunity to step into a place that has been cared for and ready for its next chapter. The home, built in the mid-1900s, welcomes with timeless character, including original 2-inch wood floors that run through much of the interior. Inside, you’ll find a formal living and dining room, an eat-in kitchen, and a spacious den designed for gathering or relaxing. Owners utilized 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, but there's an extra room that was used as an office that can very easily be a 5th bedroom! A half-circle drive, extended driveway, and attached 2-car garage provide ample parking and ease of access. The property is serviced by Ricardo Water, with the added benefit of a private water well that supports the land and irrigation system. Beyond the main home, additional improvements offer flexibility and function. A small guest house presents an opportunity for extended living or creative use with some updates. A lean-to provides covered utility space, and the standout feature—a massive 2,700+ sq ft metal barn with a concrete slab and oversized sliding doors—delivers exceptional storage for equipment, hobbies, or recreational use. All improvements—the home, guest house, lean-to, and barn—are situated on approximately 3 acres, while the remaining acreage is fenced and left in its natural state, offering possibilities for expansion, livestock, or simply enjoying the quiet of the countryside. This is more than a property—it’s a chance to create something meaningful, to carry forward a legacy of care, and to enjoy the peaceful rhythm of country living in a place that has quietly stood the test of time.
