Estancia Escondida - Spanish for "Hidden Stay" or "Hidden Ranch" is a truly one-of-a-kind 1920s Spanish-Mediterranean ranch estate tucked away on approximately 25.29 private acres in Mineola, and it lives up to its name in every way. Enter through an enchanting drive that leads you to this timeless estate, where classic white stucco exteriors and red clay tile roofs define every structure on the property and immediately set the tone for something special. An arched front door welcomes you inside to a spacious living area filled with natural light from large picture windows, anchored by a fireplace and flowing seamlessly into a sunroom--an ideal spot for slow mornings and peaceful views overlooking the acreage. Just off the living space, the kitchen offers a large gas range and oven, a sink with a window view, and room for a double-door refrigerator. While some renovations remain--primarily flooring--the bones and character of the home are undeniable. A charming breakfast nook features a bay window with built-in half-circle bench seating and a tasteful domed ceiling that perfectly reflects the home's Spanish influence. A second living area provides flexibility as a game room or entertaining space and is conveniently located near a large utility room. Two additional bedrooms and bathrooms were thoughtfully added and feature cedar closets throughout. Upstairs, you'll find an oversized primary suite along with additional guest bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms and beautiful views of the surrounding property. Outside, the estate truly shines. A five-stall horse barn with tack room makes this an exceptional equestrian property, while the expansive covered three-car carport could easily be enclosed into a garage. There is also an existing area ready for renovation into a future pool. Adjacent acreage is available as well--please inquire for details. Private, historic, and rich with character, Estancia Escondida is a rare one-of-a-kind opportunity in East Texas!
