OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A SHOWPLACE PIECE OF NORTHEAST TEXAS HISTORY! Located about 6 minutes south of I-30 and with 1800' of state road frontage, this nearly 80 year-old stone and frame home on 85.5 acres of sandy loam with 3 beautiful spring-fed ponds was crafted for the Weir family from 1941-'50's and has been lovingly maintained ever since. Built of locally-sourced iron ore stone and pine, persimmon, oak, sweetgum and cedar lumber, much of which was cut and cured on-site, this Craftsman-style, 4800 SF, 2-story home is absolutely loaded with remarkable and beautiful craftsmanship. The heavy front door, as with most doors in the house, was crafted of triple-thick native lumber and hung with steel strap hinges. Lockable door latches were hand-crafted on-site of wood, as were several of the wonderfully unique lighting fixtures throughout the home. Other features of the home include solid oak floors in most areas, tile bath floors and a metal roof that was added in later years. There are 4 WBFP's - one in the master BR and a MASSIVE stone fireplace in the greatroom that features a huge piece of petrified wood (sourced from just behind the home) in its exterior chimney. Updated with CH/A, the home blends the best of old and new while keeping its originality and charm. The kitchen features a corner fireplace, a vintage Chambers gas range (it works!), pullout prep counter and an adjacent dining booth. Some custom-made furnishings like the massive 12-person dining table w/chairs and the sliding cabinet that hides a wet bar in the brand room will convey with the property. Also in the brand room is a pull-down Murphy bed for overflow sleeping accommodation. The home has plentiful closets and storage throughout. Outside: a courtyard, 2 covered porches and a wide balcony facing eastward. The original wood-frame barn complete with hay loft sits behind the house among 40 acres of coastal hay meadow and has an adjacent pipe corral. A county road surrounds the south and west sides.
