Tucked away on a private, stocked lake, this rare country cottage offers the kind of peaceful waterfront living that’s getting harder and harder to find. Bass, catfish, and crappie fill the water, and your days can be spent fishing from the brand-new 40-foot pier with a 10x12 landing, completed in January 2026. The setting is truly serene—watch otters, ducks, herons, and even pelicans drift across the water, all while enjoying unforgettable sunset views over the lake. Inside, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths with a flexible, well-designed layout. The primary suite is located on the main level and features a beautifully updated en-suite bath added in 2024. A second private suite upstairs provides excellent space for guests or multigenerational living. Two additional bedrooms are located downstairs, one currently used as a home office. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the home features a spacious sunken living room with a brick fireplace and a large dining area positioned to take in sweeping lake views—perfect for hosting family and friends in every season. Outdoor living is just as impressive, with two back decks including a large partially covered deck with a screened-in sitting area ideal for year-round enjoyment. The 1.2-acre property transforms in spring and summer into a lush, manicured, park-like setting that feels almost like a private golf course. Additional features include an oversized attached garage and a 10x20 lofted storage building with double doors, windows overlooking the lake, and excellent potential as a workshop, studio, or hobby space. Conveniently located just 10 minutes to Mineola or Quitman, 20 minutes to Lindale, and about 35 minutes to Tyler, this property offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility. A peaceful lakefront retreat with space, updates, and unmatched views—this one is truly special.
