About 480 County Road 2745
Nestled on 10 picturesque acres just north of Decatur, this architecturally striking residence is a masterclass in thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and modern country living. Created from two shipping containers and meticulously engineered to embrace the surrounding landscape, the home captures sweeping views of rolling green hills while offering a seamless balance of industrial character and refined comfort. Inside, soaring 18-foot ceilings, warm custom woodwork, luxury vinyl flooring, and expansive sight lines create an atmosphere that feels both dramatic and inviting. The living room was designed to blur the line between indoors and out, featuring a motorized glass roll-up door with retractable screen that opens the home entirely to the countryside beyond. A large statement ceiling fan anchors the space while maintaining the home’s open, airy feel. The kitchen showcases soapstone countertops, custom cabinetry, and a lift-up garage-style window that connects directly to the expansive covered porch with fireplace, creating an effortless flow for entertaining. The floor plan includes two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an office or gym space, walk-in pantry, and a spacious laundry room with utility sink and built-in dog kennels. The primary suite features dual vanities, a soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. Additional highlights include a putting green, native low-maintenance landscaping, gravel drive, metal hog-wire fencing, large storage building with well house, and a 2,500-gallon water holding tank with DAB pump system. Complementing the residence is an exceptional 39x40 insulated metal shop with closed-cell spray foam insulation, multiple roll-up doors, and flexible workspace or storage potential. Split-unit systems in the bedrooms and central HVAC in the main living areas provide year-round comfort and efficiency. A carefully composed retreat where craftsmanship, architecture, and the beauty of the North Texas landscape come together beautifully.
