Ponder, Texas | Wise County
12820 N County Line Road
A luxury home and horse facility on nearly 13 acres
The property
Luxury home. Professional horse facility.
Complete peace and privacy.
Here you get all of it, without trading one thing for another.
A luxury 5,098 square-foot home with seven bedrooms and four and a half baths. A horse facility designed and built by professional horsemen — seven stalls and a lighted 140′ × 250′ arena with the roping setup already in place. Nearly 13 acres with well-managed pasture, fencing and run-in sheds.
And the privacy is real. Roughly 1,600 acres of conservation land border the farm behind and to the side, with another 1,000 acres directly across the road — keeping subdivision development from ever reaching your fence line.
While enjoying the peace, privacy and incredible sunrises and sunsets you would typically only find on a remote ranch far from town, this farm sits just 20 minutes from Denton and Decatur, 45 minutes from Fort Worth, and under an hour to Dallas, DFW International and Love Field — giving you a prime, convenient location with the luxury and lifestyle of living on a farm.
Walk out your back door, catch your horse, head to the barn and ride up to the arena. It is the kind of place a family grows into, and does not outgrow.
About one mile from US-380. Drive times are approximate and vary with traffic. Veterinary care, feed, tack, hay and major equestrian facilities are all an easy haul — NRS, Russell Feed & Supply, Outlaw Equine, XX Equine and Decatur Veterinary Clinic among them.
The horse facility
Designed and built by professional horsemen
Every element was placed with the daily work in mind. The barn, arena, turnout and trailer parking sit close together, so feeding, riding and moving horses take minutes rather than trips across the property. Gates, hydrants and outlets are exactly where you need them to be.
The barn runs north to south, so the prevailing breeze moves through the length of the barn, keeping it cool through the summer. Every stall has its own window and fan. The tack room is insulated, climate controlled and vented, so saddles and leather stay in excellent condition year-round.
Nearly 13 acres with roughly eight acres of pasture, rotationally grazed and actively restored, so there is quality grass available for your horses, cattle and other animals.

The land
Property boundary
The home
Seven bedrooms, two living areas, and a private suite upstairs
5,098 square feet, built in 1999 and substantially renovated and expanded in 2014 — which added four bedrooms and a complete kitchen renovation.
That expansion also created a separate upstairs suite with its own bedrooms, full bath and living area with a refrigerator and microwave, ideal for extended family, guests or live-in help.
Two living areas and a dining room, with flexible rooms currently used as a home office and a gym — without giving up the space your family uses every day.
The kitchen
Custom cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, a propane cooktop and a copper farm sink.
The master suite
A spacious bedroom with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring a clawfoot tub and stone shower.
The fireplace
A full-height stone, wood-burning fireplace in the main living room, with a fire pit outside for the warmer months.
Laundry and mudroom
Granite countertops and a full wall of cabinetry, with a built-in bench and cubbies alongside the exterior door.
The porches
Morning coffee on the covered front porch as the sun comes up over the arena. Evenings on the west-facing back porch, watching the horses graze as the sun sets behind them — a view that arrives six nights out of seven.
