312 Southhill Rd, Palestine, TX 75801

Country living with very close access to everything! Palestine Regional Hospital and Loop 256 are just 1.5 miles away. The volunteer fire department is closer. This 2,445 square foot brick veneer home is officially on the market for the first time. Built in 1990 by highly respected builder, Randy Shaver, the split concept features a master BR with master bath (separate walk-in closets), 2 BRs for guests with a bath in between (shower/tub combo included), roomy den with wood burning fireplace (and plenty of wood already cut and ready), kitchen and breakfast area. In addition, a Bonus Room with full bath and closet consisting of about 500’ may be used as a BR suite, an additional family room, or a room to rent out (has exterior 3-0 door with entry from the carport area and 3-0 doors entering the kitchen). This dream home features durable ceramic tile throughout, granite countertops, numerous wooden cabinets, picture frame paneling in the den and plenty of windows for outside lighting (the 3 BRs feature plantation shutters). The a/c is a heat pump that was completely replaced in the summer of 2023 and upgraded to 5 tons. The home also enjoys 2, 500-glalon septic tanks (pumped in 2021) and the roof was replaced in 2014. For morning coffee and evening chats, enjoy the back patio as you walk through the French doors (blinds in the glass) as well as a nice, covered front porch. There is a good chance you will see deer in the early hours. The detached 2-car carport blends in seamlessly with the house as does the brick shop with roll door for lawn equipment. Additional features of the 4 acres include a small barn in the back of the property as well as a metal building with 3 covered sides formerly used for horses. As a bonus, your own chicken coop is ready featuring an 8’ X 12’ metal building inside a secure, fenced yard (416’) with netting on top that has proven impenetrable to land animals for over 2 ½ years. And for fruit lovers, you will enjoy maturing fruit trees including 7 peach, 4 pear, 1 fig and a thornless blackberry patch. The 4 acres are fenced with a pvc cross fence in the middle except for about 100 yards on the front south side which are not. However, 5 telephone posts are anchored in the ground with 5’ of clearance for a fence there if desired. Amazingly, the land is covered substantially with centipede, St. Augustine, Bermuda grass and hard woods, but the owners do NOT water. A 48” commercial mower has been more than enough to handle. The 4 acres are also surrounded by a 153-acre estate which is wooded providing plenty of privacy! And, the home is connected with the reliable and affordable Pleasant Springs Water System as well as Spectrum fiber internet. To see this rare find for yourself, call or text 903-918-6833 during daylight hours. Go exactly 1 mile south on South Sycamore St. (TX 322), take a left onto South Hill Road, and drive exactly ½ mile to the east and this home is on your left right in the curve (tucked away about 110 yards off the road).
