Description

This property is offered for sale directly by the owner. For Sale By Owner homes, also known as FSBOs, can be a good buying opportunity, because the owner will save up to 6% when there are no brokers involved in the transaction. This leaves more room for price negotiation and potential buyer savings.

This listing is NOT a foreclosure. The PropertyTurn in to your driveway to this 1877 Victorian on a pier and beam foundation, set in the middle of 29+ lush acres. It is surrounded by open pasture, mature pecans, oaks, dogwoods, and pines. This two storey home features 3887 feet of living space, central heat/air, historical hand-carved mantle above a wood-burning fireplace, formal dining, updated kitchen w/breakfast room, a private stairway leading up to a roomy master bedroom, 2.5 additional bedrooms, 3 baths, and a large game room, complete with 9 ft billiard table and accessories, wet bar with refrigerator, and two sets of full view French doors opening out to the lawn. Property has 65X29 ft horse stable with 9X9 tack room, a 30X50 hay barn and 20X35 concrete-floored shed with enclosed 20X8 shelved storage room. From the family-sized porch, it's a short walk to the 2 acre spring-fed pond, complete with dock and small fishing boat w/trailer. Water for the house is provided by a well drilled down to a natural spring. A local water supply company has its line running on the highway frontage so running a connection to it is also possible. Many other extras. The Buchanan HouseThis was home to Dr. Buchanan as well as his family practice until the 1960's when the family sold the property for commercial use. The house was to be destroyed. Instead, two buyers stepped forward. Half of the original 9,000 square foot home was moved to Tyler Texas, where it later burned, and the other half was moved to Quitman, Texas, where it now stands. Much of the original moulding remains, as well as the front door. In the 70's, the home was sold again, and at that time was renovated and updated, and an additional wing was built on a slab foundation, which now includes the playroom/den and the spacious master above it. The mantle is hand carved and was salvaged and beautifully renovated from one of Governor Jim Hogg's homes. He was the first native-born Texas governor from 1886-1895. Quitman has dedicated a family park to his honor, located on Hwy 37, about 1/4 mile from the courthouse. The park has Hoggs honeymoon cottage, a museum and Hogg's wife's family home (Stinson House), as well as a large gazebo for country concerts.Wood CountyQuitman, the county seat, and the Wood County courthouse are conveniently located 4.5 miles away. Wood County has many restaurants, churches, antique stores and more. Lake Fork is only ten miles away from the house and is known for the best bass fishing in Texas. Most people in the area are move-ins as well, so the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Mineola, population over 4500, is just 12 miles away. Tyler is 40 minutes, and Dallas is a 90 minute drive, accessible from I-20 or I-30.NOTE REGARDING PRICING: This house is unique, and as much as it has frustrated realtors it HAS NO COMPARABLES. Sites such a Zillow and others will sometimes under-value a property when there are no comparables on which to base the evaluation. Once you see the property, you'll see that it is reasonably priced for what it offers. We were advised by a realtor to start the price at $389,000, so we deducted her commission, explained we wanted to try to sell it ourselves, and priced it at $359,000.Call to set up an appointment. Serious buyers only, please. Mike 903.497.6239.YOU MUST WEAR MASK TO TOUR INSIDE THE HOME. DISPOSABLE GLOVES WILL BE PROVIDED.Negotiable: full size tractor and 15 foot trailer.
