Historic Estate on 13.6 Acres! Known as “The Old House at Cove,” this beautifully preserved 1900 home offers 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and 2,240 sq ft of timeless character and Texas history. Originally relocated in 1948 from the north side of Cotton Lake to its current setting near Cotton Bayou, the home was moved across prairie and water using army truck dollies and timber—an incredible piece of local lore. A written history is available. Inside, soaring ceilings, rich wood floors, detailed millwork, and abundant natural light highlight the home’s charm, while key updates provide peace of mind, including updated plumbing and electrical systems, water heater, and service panel (2018), plus HVAC units replaced in 2022. Set on 13.6 scenic acres with mature trees and open pasture, this rare property offers privacy, beauty, and lasting appeal.
