Capitol Ranch Real Estate, LLC
Sitting on nearly 13 acres just minutes from town, this ranch-style home is a true hidden gem with so much to offer for family and friends.
Inside, the home features a spacious kitchen and living room, creating an inviting space for gathering and everyday living. The layout also includes a flex room that can be used for office space or guest accommodations. Just beyond the main living area is the man cave, complete with a pub-style bar and a space designed for game days, pool games, relaxed evenings, and movie nights. Additional features include solar panels offering off-grid capability—an appealing benefit for rural living that provides added peace of mind during storms and power outages, delivering both independence and security.
Outside is where this property truly shines. The backyard offers a large fenced area ideal for pets and kids alike, along with an above-ground pool for warm Texas days. Adjacent to the home is a large shop set up for both storage and entertaining, with picnic tables ready for outdoor gatherings, BBQs, and bonfires lighting up long East Texas evenings.
Toward the back of the property, you’ll find wooded trails perfect for peaceful walks or trail riding, along with two large spring-fed ponds that could easily be stocked for fishing.
With acreage, privacy, and convenience to town, and no restrictions this is truly a rare find. Properties offering this combination of space, features, and location do not come around often.
Directions: From Loop 256 in Palestine, turn onto Bassett Rd. Continue straight for approximately 1.5 miles. Property will be on the right. Sign on property.
