Land with Home for Sale in Mount Vernon, Texas

Enchanting, wooded 109 acre "Gentleman's Farm" that has been in one family for 60 years. One mile from Lake Cypress Springs, the property has been expertly maintained & improved to create a one-of-a-kind family retreat in the East Texas piney woods. Stylish 3100 sq ft 3-bedroom home, partially air-conditioned wood barn and a 1200 sq ft metal barn, all in a multi-acre clearing + many more acres of trails in the woods for family adventure and hunting, and camping, the property is the perfect retreat for those who love Mother Nature! Enter a private world through a gated entrance and into the woods before reaching the landscaped and irrigated clearing with the property's bespoke ranch house and barns. The 3 bedroom house (+ 2 large living areas) has had multiple 1st class updates and now encompasses a lodge-like "great room", an open kitchen featuring Subzero and Thermador appliances, and a resort-like first floor primary suite, complete with an exercise room. On the second floor are two sleeping areas, one loft-like and one private, with a shared bath. Those familiar with East Texas say this is one of the prettiest properties in Franklin County with an abundance of mature trees. The property has an Ag Exemption for cultivating and harvesting trees. A 2-hour drive from Dallas, this is a wonderful retreat or full-time residence for those who love the outdoors, hunting and boating. Though not on the lake, the nearby marina, one mile away, makes lake and boat access easy. The home is beautifully decorated with a South West design motif. Most of the furniture and art (as well as the tractors, boats and 4-wheel gators) can be bought with the property making it a "turn-key" purchase. This property has been loved by 3 generations of the same family. Here is a unique opportunity to create a lifetime of your own memories!
