A rare opportunity to own an interest in East Texas' most prestigious and secluded private club lake. The surrounding 1100 acres offers natural woods for hiking and hunting and a 130 acre lake for fishing. Ownership includes 1/8 interest in the club property. A magnificent family home sits on a 20 acre fee ownership tract.with waterfront on the 130 ac. lake. Originally built circa 1900 as a one room fishing cabin with stone fireplace, the first expansion came in 1930, adding Craftsman style details; cross gabled roof with exposed rafter tails and shed-roof front porch. The new wing housed a kitchen & large banquet hall, and the second story added 3 bedrooms & bath. The home was used as a corporate retreat for many years. In 1995 the current owners renovated the existing structure and added the master suite, 2 car garage, massive family room & guest room with private entrance. 5 bedrooms, 5 baths & 4 living areas accommodate large scale entertaining or intimate family gatherings. All historic details of the house have been carefully preserved. Original wood floors and walls are finished to a rich patina. The old back porch is now a bright, open game area between the formal living and the new family room. The once cavernous banquet room was divided into a cozy library and grand size formal dining room with built in cabinetry. The kitchen updates include granite countertops, built in ice maker and a professional grade Viking 6 burner gas stove with 2 ovens. The long breakfast bar comfortably seats eight with a bay window view of the lake. The magnificent family room features double French doors and massive glass to bring in the beauty of the outdoor setting. High vaulted ceilings and heavy exposed beams complement the original construction. Upstairs, the original bedrooms enter off the balcony. A Jack 'n' Jill bath with large tile shower is shared by the middle bedrooms. The fourth bedroom includes a private bath. The master suite addition, located over the garage, features a small private balcony for enjoying the lake view. The master bath is an example of modern luxury at its best with separate vanities, a cozy dressing table, large shower and elegant marble tub. Outdoor living is enhanced by the cozy stone fireplace on the flagstone terrace & the covered stone fire pit adjacent to the hot tub deck. A boathouse & fishing pier are a short walk across the lush St. Augustine lawn. Massive plantings of azaleas and other seasonally blooming plants complement the view. This serene and breathtaking setting is just a 2 hour drive east of Dallas, perfect distance for a weekend retreat or full time residence. Find your freedom here in the beautiful woods of East Texas.
