IMAGINE A WOODLAND SANCTUARY where barn swallows herald a new day & fireflies frolic among the evening shadows beneath a starlit canopy. A mere 90-minutes from Dallas & 20 minutes from Lake Fork, this charming 2+ ac estate lies at the end of a country lane in the majestic East Texas piney woods. Beyond the Priefert Ponderosa fence, a concrete driveway escorts you to the stately portico of this authentic chalet-style dwelling. Unlike common mass-produced log homes, the nearly 2,500 sf structure was built to last by master craftsmen utilizing the custom Scandinavian full-scribe method featuring saddle-notched corners. Upon entering the mahogany Speakeasy front door, you are greeted by white pine walls, a custom log staircase, alluring hand-blown light fixtures & large double-paned Geld-Wen casements. No need for curtains, drapes or blinds here, as these windows showcase your own private forest! The spacious kitchen hosts an abundance of Shaker-style walnut cabinetry flanked by two pantries & graced with stainless steel appliances, Olympic River granite countertops, onyx backsplash, & undercounter composite granite double sink, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures plus an island crowned with Minnesota red pine. From the great room you can withdraw into the Master which features an ensuite bath accentuated with hand-made cabinetry, a slate shower & stained-glass window. Upstairs, the spacious loft is bordered by rustic wood railings overlooking the living area. To the side is a 12 ft closet & bath with shower, plus a therapeutic spa tub in which to relax body& mind. Indoor comfort is delivered year-round by two reliable energy-efficient Goodman heat pumps ($135 avg. mo. electric bill). Utilities are underground, including high speed fiber optics. Outdoor protection with durable Timberline shingles and a gutter guard filter system. The property features 1200 sf garage-shop with built-ins & 200-amp service, 8-stationirrigation system & RV hookups with 30-amp service.
