Welcome to the country life with this inviting, well maintained property south of historic Palestine in East Texas! Enter through the electric gate and follow the drive to this hidden 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home on approximately 23 acres, where a tree-shaded front porch welcomes you inside. The open living, dining, and kitchen areas overlook the private, wooded backyard through a wall of windows spanning the rear of the home. The living area features a brick wood-burning fireplace with built-in cabinetry on each side, while the dining area offers additional built-ins with a serving bar. The spacious kitchen boasts an island with seating, extensive cabinetry, abundant counter space, and a breakfast area surrounded by windows. Both bedrooms include ensuite baths and walk-in closets. Tile floors throughout add ease of care. A two-car garage provides ample storage, and a large private back patio--part open, part covered--overlooks the fenced yard. Additional features include extra blown-in insulation, wide soffits, and an automatic full-house propane generator. The acreage is a haven for deer and wildlife with 2 springs and a creek running across it, plus complete perimeter and cross fencing with game fencing along the south and east sides. Pastures are improved with Bermuda and Bahia grasses. Here is a home for your horses at the barn that offers 6 stalls with concrete walkway, feed room, hay room with concrete floor, tack room, wash rack, sink(needs repair), and water with heater, while a pipe fence surrounds the paddock. A pole barn with electricity, water, wood floor, and exterior stalls adds more versatility. A small shop with bathroom, water heater, washer, and dryer--previously used for pet grooming--could serve as an office or hobby space. It is time for a new phase of life in the peaceful countryside, surrounded by nature.
