For those who prefer a primary suite on the main level, a secondary primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet is conveniently located downstairs, making the home suitable for a variety of family needs. Step outside and you’ll find one of the property’s crown jewels: an expansive outdoor living area. Enjoy the custom heated gunite pool with hot tub, waterfall, and diving rock. The outdoor space includes both covered and open patio areas, perfect for entertaining guests, dining al fresco, or relaxing under the East Texas sky. This estate is well-equipped for livestock, horses, or farming operations. The property is fully fenced and cross-fenced with pipe working pens, a loading chute, and multiple livestock enclosures. The rich, open pastures feature a mix of native and improved grasses like Bermuda and Bahia—perfect for grazing or hay production. Wildlife is abundant, and the land offers opportunities for fishing, hunting, and nature observation. The 5,400 sq. ft. insulated barn is as functional as it is expansive. The central bay, with sliding barn doors and walk-throughs, provides ample space for tractors, ATVs, and equipment. Three additional storage rooms add flexibility, and the covered wings on either end are perfect for animals, trailers, or storage. Under one of the wings is a chic chicken coop, adding a touch of rural charm. Inside the barn is a fully climate-controlled 1,200+ sq. ft. living quarters—an incredibly valuable space that includes a spacious open-concept living/kitchen/dining area, a full bathroom with tankless water heater, a large closet, and an upstairs loft serving as the bedroom. It’s ideal as a guest house, worker’s quarters, rental unit, or even a cozy in-law suite. Despite its private, peaceful setting on a quiet country road, this estate is surprisingly well-connected. Located just 10 minutes from Gilmer, 20 minutes from Longview, and 45 minutes from Tyler, you're never far from shopping, healthcare, and dining. Plus, Fiber Optic High-Speed Internet ensures you can work or study from home with ease.
