Situated on 106+/- acres, this charming rustic cabin, custom built in 2010, welcomes you via a stone sidewalk and captures picturesque views from its complete wraparound porch. Inside, cedar walls, vaulted ceiling, & stairway plus floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open living, dining, kitchen, pantry, loft bedroom, and bath with natural light. The flooring—reclaimed from a 100-year-old school in Dallas—adds warmth, character, and history to the thoughtfully designed interior. Smart storage solutions maximize space, while the Hardie concrete siding exterior ensures low-maintenance durability. Within the fenced homesite, a cozy firepit creates the perfect setting for cool evenings under the stars. Additional improvements include a 1,500± sq. ft. metal garage and storage building, plus an 864± sq. ft. open shed for equipment or recreational vehicles. Approximately 15 acres of high-fence pens (7 total) with a surrounding high-fence alley were previously used for raising deer, offering continued wildlife or livestock opportunities. The land has been enhanced with 130 loads of dirt to prepare for a homesite or barn, providing flexibility for future expansion. Fields have been planted in drought-resistant millet sorghum to sustain wildlife, with established white clover and Bermuda grasses adding to the agricultural appeal. Peach, apple, and fig trees have also been planted for personal enjoyment. Whether you envision a private retreat, recreational ranch, wildlife operation, or future homestead, this remarkable property offers endless possibilities—an extraordinary sanctuary that reflects the restorative beauty and peaceful charm of East Texas living.
