TEXARKANA MAGAZINE S et along a quiet stretch of countryside in De Kalb, Texas, this modern ranch was designed as a second home, a place to slow down and enjoy the outdoors. The kind of quiet you can’t find in everyday life. From the beginning, the vision was simple: create a comfortable ranch retreat with elevated touches, where natural materials and open views set the tone. Inside, warm whites and soft earth tones keep the palette easy and inviting, layered with natural wood accents and black finishes for contrast. An oversized kitchen island anchors the main living space, surrounded by custom stonework that adds texture and character without feeling heavy. Large windows bring in steady natural light and frame the landscape, making the outdoors feel like part of the home. That connection becomes even more apparent outside, where the entertaining area overlooks the pond and serves as a gathering place. It’s where weekends stretch a little longer, family and friends naturally come together, and the pace feels a little slower. Set across 75 acres of rolling hills, the property is anchored by a fully stocked, six-acre pond that adds both beauty and recreation to the landscape. What started as a peaceful getaway has evolved into something more, a setting designed for hosting, celebrating, and making memories. With plans for future event rentals, this property is already stepping into its next chapter.
