Nestled in the heart of East Texas, this charming property offers a unique blend of history & 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 design pays homage to Texas heritage while providing a cozy & inviting atmosphere. The home boasts 4 bedrooms & 3 bathrooms, spread across a spacious 2,739 sq ft. 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 & 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 & a sleeping loft, perfect for entertaining or relaxing with family & friends. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the secluded setting, complete with a paved driveway, gated entry & fenced yard area. The landscaped grounds feature a sprinkler system, ensuring easy maintenance of the lush surroundings. A two-car carport, handicap ramp & various outbuildings add convenience & functionality. For those with an entrepreneurial spirit, amongst the 80.132 +/- acres, portions of the property have been managed for pine tree harvesting. Additionally, a 2,700 sq foot shop/barn provides space for storage, hobbies or potential business ventures. The property absolutely lends itself to be a corporate retreat or a "high fence" game ranch. Nature lovers will be delighted by the abundance of wildlife on the property & will enjoy the short drive to visit the Cherokee Trace Drive-Thru Safari for additional fun! Meanwhile, families can take advantage of the nearby Rusk ISD system, ensuring quality education is within reach.
