House with garden Wills Point (United States)
Property Description: Just an hour east of Dallas and a few miles northeast of Wills Point lies The Pharme, an incredible secluded retreat. In addition to exceptional fishing and hunting, the property has been utilized as a horse breeding facility. This conveniently located ranch is also just minutes south of Lake Tawakoni, well known for its fishing and water sports. The property offers easy access, located only a few miles north of US Highway 80. The entrance is set along a very private county road, leading to a code-accessed gate and a beautiful tree-lined drive that winds to the home overlooking park-like pastures and a ±5-acre lake. The 190 acres consist of a combination of excellent hay pastures and native woods, providing ideal habitat for livestock, horses, and wildlife. This East Texas gem has been lovingly cared for by the same family for decades and is now ready for a new owner to appreciate and steward it for years to come. There is little left to do but move in and begin enjoying the tranquility of The Pharme. Land: The land and vegetation at The Pharme are notably diverse. As you enter through the main gate and travel the tree-lined drive, you are greeted by park-like pastures with horses grazing on either side, creating a truly picturesque setting. The 190-acre property is a blend of native woods and improved hay pastures, complemented by approximately nine stock tanks that support livestock operations. A small vegetable garden is also located on the property. The terrain consists of both flat and gently rolling pastures, typical of this region of East Texas. Soils include a mix of sandy loam and clay. The property is fenced and cross-fenced to support efficient land and livestock management. Water: Water is a standout feature of The Pharme. The property includes a beautiful ±5-acre lake behind the house, offering excellent fishing opportunities. Additionally, there are nine stock tanks distributed throughout the pastures, along with seasonal creeks running through the wooded areas. The landscaping surrounding the home is irrigated. Domestic water is provided by South Tawakoni Water Supply Corporation. Improvements: The approach to the improvements is nothing short of striking. Entering through the code-accessed gate, a 1,400-foot tree-lined drive leads through scenic pastures to the main residence. Passing several original wooden cabins and barns, you arrive at the beautifully landscaped home. The primary residence is a 4–5 bedroom, 4.5-bath home totaling approximately 4,520sf, with wraparound porches on three sides. The home is connected via a covered walkway to a large garage, barn, and workshop. Designed with entertaining in mind, the home features a spacious kitchen and bar area overlooking a two-story, vaulted living room centered around a large stone fireplace and hearth. Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining room. The kitchen is well appointed with abundant custom cabinetry, generous counter space, a center island with prep sink, and premium appliances, including a Thermador gas cooktop and double oven, as well as a built-in refrigerator/freezer. The bar area includes seating for six, along with a beverage cooler, wine cooler, icemaker, and sink. Most of the living space is located on the first floor, including the primary suite, a guest bedroom, kitchen, bar, den, dining room, study (or fifth bedroom), utility room, and two screened/enclosed porches with sinks. The second floor features two large bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. The home is nestled among mature trees and surrounded by beautifully maintained, irrigated landscaping, manicured lawns, and four raised garden beds, all overlooking the 5-acre lake and surrounding pastures. A screened-in pavilion near the lake provides an ideal gathering space and sits near a bridge leading to an island within the pond.
