If you’ve been thinking about packing up to leave the city and head for the country, then we have just the place to call home. The best of East Texas country living can be yours to enjoy at the sprawling ranch property located at 12176 County Road 412, in Tyler, Texas. In just under two hours from Dallas, you can reach the private gravel road that leads you to this 4,569-square-foot stunner. Built in 2012, the four-bedroom, 3.1-bath home has been meticulously maintained, making it look and feel brand-new with modern touches at every turn.
With so much space to roam both inside and outside, it’s difficult to know where to start, but let’s begin with the home’s drive-up appeal. The two-story white home with shutters almost looks like it’s straight from a movie with its giant, wrap-around porch and charming porch swing. The front porch is unquestionably the star of this home. As you approach, you’ll likely find it irresistible and secretly wish someone was there to swing open the front door–cold glass of iced tea in hand–asking you to come in and stay awhile. Situated on 20 acres, the property also includes an 1,800-square-foot workshop with water and electricity hook-ups; an 1,800-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath guest house; a spring-fed, stocked pond; a .3-acre fenced garden with irrigation system; fencing and cattle guards for livestock; a dog run; and some general farm equipment.
Inside, the bright, white kitchen features JennAir® appliances, including a six-burner gas cooktop, double convection oven and warming drawer, stainless-steel double-door refrigerator, additional work sink on the large island, and a walk-in pantry. The adjacent breakfast nook includes a built-in bench under a wall of windows offering serene morning coffee views. Also downstairs is the family room, formal dining area, and study that comes complete with walls of built-in bookshelves. The separate mudroom and utility room have plenty of built-in storage, double refrigerator space, and a sink and drip-dry bar. The primary suite is a true retreat with an elegant, spa-like bath and an oversized walk-in closet with loads of storage and room for a sitting area. The upstairs game room includes a kitchenette, and three secondary bedrooms mean there is plenty of room for large families to spread out, or your guests will have plenty of space to make themselves at home.
With 20 acres to “play with,” you may decide to buy a few horses once you move in. Or maybe you already have your own, and this will become their new home, too. The property could just as easily accommodate cattle, chickens, sheep, goats, swine, and more. Nature lovers will appreciate the sparkling spring-fed, stocked pond with bass, bluegill, and catfish. The property is also wired for a pool and has a manual transfer switch for a whole-house generator.
