Description

Hilltop Country Estate is a newly renovated Mediterranean-inspired estate set on 23 private acres just south of Abilene in Taylor County, Texas. Occupying one of the area's highest points, the property captures sweeping hilltop views while offering privacy and convenience only minutes from the city's amenities.

Located outside the city limits with Highway 83 frontage and no restrictions, the property offers a rare level of flexibility this close to Abilene. While currently established as a luxury residential estate, the opportunities extend well beyond a private residence. The acreage, existing improvements, and location create potential for an event venue, corporate or executive retreat, short-term rental, multigenerational compound, equestrian property, or future development.

Beyond the gated entrance, a newly renovated 5-bedroom, 6-bathroom residence provides an impressive centerpiece for the property. Mediterranean-inspired architecture, insulated Rastra concrete walls, a concrete tile roof, premium Pella windows and doors, and updated finishes provide lasting quality, while spacious living areas, multiple guest suites, an executive office, basement entertainment level, and upstairs theater and game room offer versatility for owners and guests.

Outside, the estate transforms into a resort-style setting centered around a spectacular saltwater pool and spa, covered pavilion with outdoor kitchen, recreation courts, scenic pond, and professionally landscaped grounds. The combination of indoor and outdoor amenities creates an exceptional setting for everyday living, entertaining, large gatherings, or a variety of future uses.

A separate 1,755 square-foot residence adds further flexibility and could be renovated for guest accommodations, caretaker quarters, private offices, or other uses.

Additional acreage is available, and the seller is willing to subdivide, giving future ownership the ability to expand, reconfigure, or pursue a larger vision for the property. With unrestricted acreage, Highway 83 frontage, substantial existing improvements, and a location just minutes from Abilene, Hilltop Country Estate offers an uncommon combination of luxury, versatility, and opportunity.

Recreational amenities continue with a basketball court, sand volleyball court, synthetic putting green, playhouse, dog kennel, scenic pond, and professionally landscaped grounds. Together, these amenities provide an established foundation for a private estate, retreat, event venue, or other recreational use.

Land & Topography

The 23 acres feature gently rolling terrain with approximately 36 feet of elevation change, an elevated homesite, and mature, manicured landscaping. The property's unrestricted status provides significant flexibility for future use, while additional acreage and the seller's willingness to subdivide create opportunities for expansion, development, or a customized ownership configuration.

With Highway 83 frontage and a location outside the Abilene city limits, the land is well positioned for a variety of potential uses beyond its current residential setting.
