A rare opportunity to purchase a part of Texas History, this 50 acre East Texas Estate is the original homestead of a 5,000 acre oil dynasty.

Only 80 minutes from Dallas, this masterpiece was handcrafted by Italian artisans imported from Italy by the original owner, a famous Texas Oil Baron in the 1930's . Lovingly constructed with no regard for cost and completely restored to its original glory, this 10,000 sq. ft. mansion sits among 50 acres of park-like grounds with extensive plantings, huge towering trees and an engineered, stocked lake with island for the swans. In addition to the main home, there is a contemporary lake view guest home, pool house, 2 barns and an orchard. Set in the hillside at the rear of the property is a spectacular statuary grotto known as a nymphaeum. The main mansion has the original walnut flooring in the grand entry, so large that it holds a Grand Piano and a large sitting area.

The lakeside guesthouse has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a sitting room, and a large living room with a deck overlooking the spectacular lakeside setting.

Offered at $3,900,000
