A 40×50 heated and cooled shop, a separate guest studio with its own porch and yard, and 10 acres in Rockwall County. Two automatic gates open onto this Fate property, where the house and pool sit up front and there’s room farther back for a barn, a pond and even a ball field. The single-story home has 2,753 square feet, three bedrooms and two full baths. Vaulted ceilings and two gas-log fireplaces give the living spaces character. The kitchen has been updated with quartz counters and KitchenAid appliances, and both baths have been remodeled. Out back, the PebbleTec pool and attached spa sit beside a covered cabana with a stone fireplace, built-in gas grill and poolside half bath. Overnight guests have their own space in the separate, approximately 500-square-foot studio with a full bath. For anyone who spends Saturdays in the shop, this one is worth a look. Its 2,000 square feet are insulated and served by two HVAC systems, with 120- and 240-volt power, two roll-up doors and a full bath. Another 1,600 square feet of attached covered and enclosed storage leaves room to keep equipment out of the work area. There’s also covered RV parking with 30-amp service. A steel-framed porte-cochere at the house has room for four vehicles under roughly 1,000 square feet of cover. The home has two HVAC systems and a sealed, spray-foamed attic. Inside the shop, rough-sawn wood lines the walls and 20-amp outlets give you plenty of places to plug in tools. The pool and spa are gas heated, and the playground and playhouse give guests another reason to stay outside. The property also has two septic systems and an underground storm shelter with electricity. About seven fenced acres currently receive agricultural valuation through beekeeping. A chicken coop, year-round pond and underground storm shelter round out the practical side of the property. The baseball and softball infield already has a backstop and bases. Bring a bucket of balls.
