Nestled in the heart of East Texas, this charming property offers a unique blend of history and modern comfort. The original house, built in 1986, draws inspiration from the dog-trot cabin of Former Texas Governor Jim Hogg's birthplace, known as the Mountain Home Plantation. This thoughtful design pays homage to Texas heritage while providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The home boasts four bedrooms and three bathrooms, spread across a spacious 2,739 square feet. A 2001 addition includes a private primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, featuring an original "walk-thru" room that can serve as either a bedroom or office. For guests, a separate bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom ensures privacy and comfort. One of the property's standout features is the large brick "great room," added in 1994. This versatile space includes a wet bar, private bath, fireplace, and a sleeping loft, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family and friends. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the secluded setting, complete with a paved driveway, gated entry, and fenced yard area. The landscaped grounds feature a sprinkler system, ensuring easy maintenance of the lush surroundings. A two-car carport, handicap ramp, and various outbuildings add convenience and functionality. For those with an entrepreneurial spirit, amongst the 191 +/- acres, portions of the property have been managed for pine tree harvesting. Additionally, a 2,700 square foot shop/barn provides ample space for storage, hobbies, or potential business ventures. The property absolutely lends itself to be a corporate retreat or a "high fence" game ranch.
