| Timeless Texas Estate | 8 Bedrooms | 7 Bathrooms | Private Lake, Guest Lodge & Historic Charm on 85 Acres | Step into a piece of East Texas history-where craftsmanship, legacy, and luxury come together. Originally built over 15 years by the Wier family starting in the 1940s, this 8-bedroom, 7-bathroom estate sits on a stunning spread of private land featuring a spring-fed lake, brand-new guest lodge, and over $1.2M in high-end renovations. The heart of the property is the fully restored main house, rich with original details like custom woodwork milled from the land, two stone fireplaces etched with family signatures, and vintage fixtures that tell the story of generations past. From the Great Room made for gathering to the original dining room-still furnished with the Wiers' custom furniture-this home is full of charm and meaning. Recent upgrades include: - Brand-new 4-bed, 3-bath guest lodge (2024) with foam insulation, Kohler fixtures, Pella windows, and high-efficiency propane HVAC, - Remodeled chef's kitchen and luxury bathrooms with all new plumbing and electrical systems, - Private, spring-fed lake and heated/chilled pool built from on-site stone, - 2023 well with 75 GPM flow, originally used for a commercial tree farm, - Massive supply of milled lumber on site, including 12x12 beams and 1x12 pine, - Thoughtful touches everywhere: wet bar with custom mugs, hidden stair lighting, and stained glass from a Texas church. The home is filled with stories and keepsakes-from letters and matchbooks to original blueprints-many of which will convey with the sale. This isn't just a home-it's a legacy ready to be passed on. Perfect as a private retreat, family estate, or luxury short-term rental investment, this rare East Texas gem offers space, history, and soul. | |
