The Overlook at Toledo Bend 12.75± Acres - Shelbyville, Texas

Private Toledo Bend Lakefront Estate & Equestrian Retreat

Welcome to 179 CR 2790 in Shelbyville, Texas, a one-of-a-kind 12.75± acre lakefront estate offering an exceptional combination of custom living, waterfront recreation, equestrian improvements, and privacy overlooking beautiful Toledo Bend Lake. Perched on an elevated homesite with sweeping views of the water, the property features a 2,076± square-foot custom 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, a renovated 480± square-foot 2-bedroom, 1-bath garage apartment, massive three-car garage, private pond, three-stall horse barn, riding arena, and mature East Texas timber.

The custom home was designed to take full advantage of its incredible setting. A dramatic wall of windows spanning the living and kitchen areas fills the home with natural light and provides panoramic lake views throughout the day. The open-concept living spaces feature beautiful finishes and flow seamlessly to an expansive covered back deck, creating the perfect setting to grill, gather around a fire, entertain friends and family, or simply relax while overlooking the lake.

The private primary suite is thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home from the two guest bedrooms and features a beautifully renovated bathroom. Just off the primary suite is a screened-in porch designed to keep the bugs out while allowing you to enjoy the outdoors, complete with a Hot Spring Beam hot tub overlooking the lake. Recent improvements to the home include new flooring, fresh interior paint, renovated bathrooms, exterior paint, and a replaced deck, creating a move-in-ready property with quality finishes throughout. An integrated propane backup generator provides additional peace of mind.

Just steps from the main residence is a massive three-car garage with a fully renovated 480± square-foot apartment above. The apartment features two bedrooms, one bathroom, a full kitchen, living area, new flooring, fresh paint, and updated finishes, making it ideal for family, guests, or extended stays. The garage also doubles as a private fitness space with a gym and infrared sauna featuring an integrated Bluetooth entertainment system, installed in 2025. Connections have also been installed to accommodate a backup generator for the apartment.

Beyond the residences, the land offers tremendous versatility. The property includes more than 500 feet of Toledo Bend lake frontage, a private pond renovated and expanded in 2024, and a fully fenced yard. Towering mature hardwoods and pines, rolling elevation changes, and the elevated setting overlooking the lake give the property tremendous character and privacy.

For the equestrian enthusiast, the property is exceptionally well equipped with a three-stall horse barn featuring a feed room, tack room, wash bay, and tool/equipment storage, along with a riding arena and pipe-fenced pasture. The barn and pasture fencing were repainted in 2025. A dedicated wood-storage shed and chicken coop add even more functionality to this turnkey country setup.

Adding to the property's unique setting, it borders approximately 300 acres of privately owned forest, which the current owners have been permitted to access for walking and horseback riding, providing miles of additional recreational enjoyment just beyond the property. Any continued access would be subject to the neighboring landowner's permission.

Additional upgrades include an automated flower-bed irrigation system installed in 2026, high-speed fiber internet availability, an integrated spider and bug-control system, and numerous recent improvements throughout both the main residence and guest apartment.

Whether you're looking for a full-time lakefront residence, private family compound, equestrian retreat, or recreational getaway, this property delivers a combination that is increasingly difficult to find: acreage, substantial Toledo Bend frontage, elevated lake views, a custom home, guest accommodations, horse facilities, a private pond, and exceptional recreational amenities, all in one property.
