Listing agent: Walter Cole, Call 972-743-2657 for information. This small getaway in the piney woods of East Texas is intended to remind the owners of their days spent camping before commissioning their permanent home. The home sits on 1.87 waterfront acres on the shores of Lake Horseshoe Bend. The property consists of two structures, the main home is 1,050 square foot and the guest cottage is 545 square feet. Although the main home is only 1,050 square foot it appears larger with the absence of full interior walls making it appear more spacious. When building the home the owners were specific about what the wanted in their retreat: a round house with 360 degree views; lots of windows; hardwood flooring; a wrap around deck to blur the boundary between inside and out and a wood burning fireplace. Mission accomplished the home is incredible. The cabin feels like you are in a rustic colorado mountain home. This was accomplished by leaving the cabins roof framing exposed to the interior and by using western red cedar throughout the home. The round shape was achieved with a 12 faceted wall system that created the opportunity for extensive glazing to maximize forrest and water views. There are 7 commercial sliding glass doors which can be opened up to maximize the cool lake breezes. Inside of the main home you will enjoy in your kitchen a smooth cook top range, breakfast bar, plant ledges and a free standing microwave. The dining area is located centrally between the kitchen and living room making this home perfect for entertaining. The living room offers a see through fireplace to the master bedroom designed to heat the entire home in the cooler months. The master bath offers a large walk in shower and large windows overlooking the woods. Don't worry about needing to bring too many clothes, you have a utility room with washer and dryer hook up. When you would like to enjoy the out doors from your main home you have several options. You can relax on either the exterior deck, covered wrap around porch or the screened in deck area. Going to the cottage you have to cross 450 foot of decking stained to match the home. The cottage also offers wrap around decking with incredible lake and property views. Inside you will enjoy a large living area, a built in crafts desk, and a small sitting area. There is a half bath and satellite tv hook up. When not relaxing at the home you have to go down to your private boat dock. The dock sits on a private 70 acre lake which in 2008 had 3 Bass over 13 pounds caught and released back into the lake. Not into fishing thats ok, other sports enjoyed on the lake include swimming and kayaking. The community also offers a private boat launching site, community boat dock and a swimming area. When wrapped up with your busy day you can store all of your toys in the workshop which offers lighting, electricity and a 1 car carport. The homes style is contemporary and welcoming. It reflects the mood of the site itself- that of quiet and warmth. And, even inside the home you feel as if your camping out.
