| Out here in East Texas, tucked away in the quiet beauty of nature, sits a place with a story that stretches back nearly 150 years. This is Lunagua Wildlife Farm—98 acres of woodlands, meadows, and water that have been cherished by generations. At the heart of the property stands a 3,726-square-foot main residence, offering 4 bedrooms and 4 baths. Designed with tall ceilings and expansive windows, the home frames sweeping views of the land. Just steps away, a 756-square-foot guest house built in 2024 welcomes family and friends with modern comfort and privacy. From the shoreline of Lake Gladewater—more than 1,100 feet of frontage—to the 1.5-acre spring-fed pond, water is the lifeblood of this estate. A sprawling 1,230-square-foot wood deck overlooks the lake, creating the perfect setting for sunrise coffee or evenings under the stars. A private boat dock extends the outdoor experience. The property also offers a wealth of functional amenities: a 1,440-square-foot barn built in 2015, a tractor shed, and solar panels for decreased electricity costs. The land itself is steeped in history. In 1877, a Civil War medic purchased these acres after discovering the natural springs flowing through the ravine—waters he believed held healing properties. He opened them to the public, free of charge. Then the Phillips family built their lives here, raising four children in a simple cabin. By 1938, the Phillips Oil Company office was constructed on this land, becoming a community hub for gatherings, barbecues, and even rumored visits from a young Elvis Presley. Today, that legacy continues. The property benefits from timber and wildlife tax exemptions, with 20 acres planted in loblolly pine. Winding trails lead through the woods, where deer, beaver, red fox, and bald eagles make their home. Each spring, juvenile eagles nest high in the treetops—a breathtaking reminder of the sanctuary this land provides. More than just acreage, more than just a home, Lunagua Wildlife Farm offers you a rare opportunity to become the next steward of a property that is equal parts history, retreat, and legacy | |
