Restored 1877 Victorian home with almost 3500 sf of elegance & character on 29+ acres of park like grounds including a spring fed, stocked lake.
The 3BR/3BA home sits on a landscaped hill surrounded by mature pecans, oaks, dogwoods, pines, rose & flower gardens plus a huge, fragrant magnolia tree blooming on the south side of the family sized front porch.
So much detail is in the home from the hand carved mantle from Texas Governor Jim Hogg's home, custom pine Victorian screen door adorning the original wood door, spectacular copper painted & sculptured ceiling in the game room, high ceilings, and lots of windows.
The property is simply gorgeous with pipe fencing and arched gates at the front, the driveway lined with pines, fenced and cross-fenced & sandy loam pastures that are immaculate.
50x30 hay barn, 65x29 horse barn, 35x20 shed.
