About this property

Tucked away in the rolling countryside of Marshall, this extraordinary 35-acre East Texas retreat has been lovingly held by the same family since 1897. A winding gravel road welcomes you onto the property, where open pasture, mature trees, and a spring-fed pond create a peaceful setting ideal for both full-time living and weekend escapes. The land is fully fenced for horses with pipe fencing, lush pastureland, an auto-filled trough, loafing shed, and a new culvert. The spring-fed pond never runs dry, with natural overflow feeding the creek and downstream ponds for nearly two miles. Wildlife is plentiful with a tree stand already in place—hogs frequently roam the area—while neighboring farmland and a working dairy across the highway add to the authentic rural charm. An underpass via a neighboring family property provides additional access, and additional acreage is available if desired. The main residence is a true log cabin originally built in the late 1980s and expanded in 2012. Enjoy wraparound porches, picture windows, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace. The home features 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, including three bedroom suites downstairs and a lofted bedroom upstairs, along with a mudroom, electric utilities, new stove, and a built-in gun safe secured to the foundation. A second building constructed in 2013 offers incredible versatility with a professional-grade wood shop, sawmill, and ventilation system, plus a full bath, compressor system plumbed through the walls, overhead doors, cabinetry, and dust-control vacuum system. Upstairs, a finished apartment -office space features cherry wood floors, bamboo bedroom flooring, a game room with porch, pool table, and quilting studio. With approximately 4,370 sq ft of total living and flex space and accommodations for up to 22 guests, this one-of-a-kind property is ideal for a family compound, corporate retreat, hunting lodge, or private ranch getaway in beautiful East Texas.
