DESCRIPTION

This Republic of Texas Homestead was established when the log cabin on the property was built in 1836 , the same year that Texas declared independence from Mexico! The main house was started 6 years later by the Cavitt family and eventually served as a stage stop between Nacogdoches and San Antonio de Bexar during the 1840’s and 50’s. The Cavitts were political followers and friends of President Sam Houston, a friend and frequent visitor at the home. He probably rocked on the front porch while visiting with the locals about the future of Texas. Located in Wheelock, Texas on 5 .7 acres with the original log cabin and guest house, this property is ideal for a B and B operation , an event center , or a weekend retreat. The home is a recorded Texas Historical Landmark.

Trey: AWESOME listing! How rare is it to get to sell a historic home with such history? May the spirit of Sam Houston be with you as you sell this magnificent piece of history to a deserving and appreciative buyer.

Hi Trey,

Oh my, what a wonderful place...especially with such history and character. Comming from SoCal I can't even imagine what something like this would sell for here (if we had it)...no doubt it would be in the multi-millions!
