Welcome to your private East Texas retreat at 19595 FM 1253 in Lindale. Set on 27.483 fully fenced and cross-fenced acres, this custom-built home offers stunning views, serene living, and room for both relaxation and recreation. As you wind down the gated driveway, the scenery opens to reveal a breathtaking spring-fed lake—stocked with bass and catfish—that serves as the crown jewel of this property. The 3,040 sq ft home features an open-concept main floor with massive windows overlooking the lake—bringing the outdoors in with natural light and breathtaking scenery. The main living area includes a living room with fireplace and flows seamlessly into the chef’s kitchen, complete with high-end stainless steel appliances, a huge island with seating, dual sinks, and abundant counter space. The owner’s suite includes a spa-like bath with double vanities, a custom walk-in shower, water closet, and spacious walk-in closet. A guest half bath and expansive wrap-around deck complete the main level. Downstairs, two mirror-image guest bedrooms each offer en-suite bathrooms and private access to a covered porch. A large laundry room with storage, mechanical room, and a flex space perfect for a home gym, media room, or office add even more versatility. Tucked behind a vault door is a 12' x 13' safe room with epoxy floors—ideal for valuables, a home office, or climate-controlled storage. The home is served by a 105' private well with public water access available, and features a tankless hot water system. A detached garage includes a 2-bed, 1-bath apartment above, and a separate cabin offers an additional 1-bed, 1-bath setup, both with kitchens and living areas. A Texas-flag pier invites swimming, fishing, or sunbathing on the private lake. The barn includes both enclosed and open areas, ready for stalls or equipment storage. This one-of-a-kind property is perfectly suited for cattle, horses, goats, chickens, or simply enjoying peaceful country living just minutes from town.
