Want to escape the city without disappearing into the wilderness and communicating by carrier pigeon? This might be your spot. Nestled on 1.5+ acres in Telephone, TX and just minutes from Bois d'Arc Lake, this charming 2 bed, 1 bath home offers the kind of country living people daydream about while sitting in traffic. Inside, you'll find an open-concept layout that still feels warm, cozy, and country, complete with a wood-burning fireplace perfect for chilly mornings, hot coffee, and pretending your to-do list doesn't exist. Outside is where this property really starts showing off. The fenced acreage features a garden area, two ponds, a pipe-fenced pasture, and a barn with electricity just waiting for horses. There's also a designated round pen area with patience poles, making this a fantastic setup for horse lovers. In fact, the property has been used by a horse trainer and is thoughtfully laid out with multiple functional gates, pipe fencing along the back and side property lines, and a setup designed to actually work-not just look pretty in photos. Dreaming of fresh eggs? The chicken coops are already in place. Want a few horses in the backyard? Done. Looking for space to grow a garden, watch the sunset, and hear yourself think? You've found it. Need room for a side hustle? There's also a bonus shop building, currently used as a T-shirt business, that's negotiable with an acceptable offer and would make a great workshop, studio, or small business space. One of the best-kept secrets? Fannin County's lower property tax rates compared to many surrounding areas, giving you more room in the budget for the things that matter. And for outdoor enthusiasts, you're perfectly positioned between adventure and convenience. The property sits roughly 10 minutes in either direction from the LBJ National Grasslands and Caddo National Grasslands, offering thousands of acres of riding trails, hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, and recreation practically in your backyard.
