GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

Welcome to a truly extraordinary estate where heritage, timeless craftsmanship and country elegance converge on 14.5 beautiful acres in Emory, Texas.

Relocated to its current setting in the 1970s the home underwent a comprehensive renovation. Rebuilt from the studs by the current owners, the transformation included all-new electrical and plumbing systems while carefully preserving the home's historic charm and architectural integrity.

Offering approximately 2,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, the home balances comfort and functionality with exceptional style. The interior construction specifically does not include any OSB (formaldehyde treated wood) and most of the insulation is genuine wool which has an excellent R factor, prevents mold, has superior sound dampening properties and is fire retardant. The underside of the pier and beam foundation has spray foam insulation a rare construction luxury.

Throughout the residence, art and history blend seamlessly. Hand-finished New England pine floors, antique Old-World columns frame the dining room, original shiplap walls and ceilings, vintage hardware, and intricate millwork create a warm and authentic atmosphere. Custom Tuscan-textured walls provide the perfect backdrop for elegant lighting and one-of-a-kind chandeliers some handcrafted by the owner, evoking the ambiance of a beautifully preserved 19th-century estate. Extraordinary design details are showcased throughout, including hand-painted metal ceilings, vintage metal crown molding, stained-glass windows and stunning custom tilework. Every corner of the home reflects an unmatched level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. The kitchen is finished with granite countertops, natural stone tiles, shiplap ceiling a large walk-in pantry and double oven.

The primary suite features slate flooring, a whirlpool soaking tub, dual vanities, and a spacious walk-in cedar closet. A secondary bedroom or home office is conveniently located on the main level, while upstairs you'll find a third bedroom, a cozy reading nook and a loft area perfect for children's adventures. The upstairs bedroom opens onto a private wrought-iron balcony, an idyllic spot to enjoy morning coffee and scenic views.

A large, covered porch borders the south side of the house and screened in porch transitions your route out the back door and is bordered by character rich Catalpa trees. A charming limestone pathway meanders through landscaped grounds. Just beyond the main residence, the Carriage House provides covered parking and a 384 sq foot game room or apartment.

The acreage itself is equally captivating, featuring mature pine and hardwood trees open green spaces, and a fully stocked pond that creates a private retreat-like setting. With abundant room for guest cottages or additional improvements extending toward the water's edge, this property offers endless possibilities as a residence, vacation home, rental or an event venue.
