About this home
Welcome to a remarkable 73.48-acre property located along South Loop 7 on the southern edge of Athens in Henderson County, Texas. This unique offering combines the serenity of a private estate with the versatility of a commercial wedding and event venue. Originally designed as a high-end residential retreat, it has evolved into a destination for celebrations with thoughtfully planned improvements that balance natural beauty and architectural distinction. At its heart lies a scenic 10-acre lake surrounded by rolling hardwood timber and smaller ponds, creating a secluded setting just minutes from all the amenities of Athens.
Lake and water features
Anchoring the property is a 10-acre reservoir-style lake bordered by stone walls, a white sand beach, boat ramp, and fountain. Four additional ponds offer excellent recreational appeal, complemented by mature hardwood timber, manicured understory, and winding drives that lead to the home and venue areas.
Main Residence
Overlooking the lake, the 3,920± SF custom stone home offers three bedrooms, three and a half baths, and refined finishes blending modern comfort with classic craftsmanship. Expansive porches, patios, and landscaping enhance indoor-outdoor living and frame stunning lake views.
Event Venue and Improvements
On the western shore, a 40' x 60' architectural steel pavilion with LED lighting, fireplace, commercial kitchen, and ADA restrooms provides a spectacular lakeside venue. Connected by a pier with covered party space, the pavilion’s retractable curtain system allows year-round use. Nearby, a 2,600± SF chapel with vaulted ceilings, lancet windows, and dressing areas sits amid tall timber, offering an unforgettable ceremony setting.
Additional Home
A 1,300± SF guest home, multiple shops, barns, and gated entrances support both private and commercial operations.
