In Skyline Ranches, on one of the few properties that backs directly onto more than 10 miles of riding and walking trails, there’s a home that redefines what it means to live well—not just in square footage or finishes, but in the feeling of space, light, and land.
“Skyline Ranches is known for its extra-large lots with room for sport courts or outside activity structures,” said Van Deeb with Prime Home Realty. “And this is one of only five properties that backs up directly to the trail system.” From the outside, the home nods to classic Americana: pitched roofs, wood accents, and painted brick. Inside, it’s refreshingly modern. The great room spans more than 30 feet, anchored by oversized windows that frame uninterrupted views of the acreage. Beams cross overhead in a geometric rhythm, adding structure to the sky-high ceiling.
The kitchen is the heart of it all, outfitted with high-end GE Café appliances and anchored by a waterfall island that invites conversation. A farmhouse sink, pendant lighting, and custom cabinetry offer both function and polish.
Originally built in 1973, the nearly 7,000 square-foot five-bedroom, five-bathroom home was completely reimagined in a 2021 renovation. “This wasn’t a flip. It was a full, thoughtful renovation,” Deeb said. “They didn’t just modernize the finishes—they rethought how the home could live.” There are two heated three-car garages on separate levels, ideal for multigenerational families or car lovers. “Six heated garages—that’s pretty unusual,” Deeb said. “It’s great for people with big families or lots of toys.” Extra-wide hallways give the home a breathable, unhurried flow. Multiple living rooms across three levels offer flexibility for hosting, retreating, or spreading out.
The primary suite serves as a sanctuary. Located on the main level, it includes dual walk-in closets, a spa bath with whirlpool tub and double vanities, and its own laundry. It’s connected to the rhythm of the home but offers the privacy needed to rest and recharge.
But for Deeb, the 2.62 acres of land may be the biggest draw. “It backs to a 40-acre park with a fishing pond, riding arenas, a pavilion, and 10 miles of private trails,” he said. “Usually, if you want that kind of land, you have to go outside the city. It’s very unusual to find a home this beautiful with this much space—and still be so close to everything.” For equestrian families, it’s a dream: horses are permitted on the property, and a small outbuilding could easily serve as a stable.
“It’s not just the renovation or the acreage,” said Deeb. “It’s the combination—land, layout, location, and lifestyle. That mix is rare, and it’s exactly what makes this home so special.”
That balance between convenience and calm is key. Skyline Ranches sits off 204th and Dodge, within the Elkhorn School District and just minutes from dining, shopping and commuter routes. The homes are spaced apart, full of character, and rooted in a sense of community that newer developments often struggle to recreate. “Families love living here,” Deeb said. “These are big lots, older homes with character, and a neighborhood that’s really established.”
At its core, this is a place designed to keep pace with real life—a family life filled with motion, movement, and the kind of quiet joy that comes from returning to one another again and again under the same roof. A place where kids can roam free and a beautiful park and pond are just steps away. A place where you can host a party or simply sit still and listen to the wind rustle through the trees. Deeb said, “It’s not just a house. It’s a lifestyle. And for the right family, it’s home.”
