Tips for Sellers

Nov 11

Written By Kristin Koonce Burroughs, REALTOR®

If you’ve been dreaming of wide-open skies, peaceful mornings, and evenings under a blanket of stars, stop scrolling — this is exactly what 50 acres of East Texas freedom looks like.

Welcome to 374 County Road 104, located in Carthage ISD, where rolling pastureland, scattered timber, and timeless charm meet modern comfort. Whether your vision includes raising cattle, starting a self-sufficient homestead, running a bed-and-breakfast, or simply finding a quiet retreat where you can breathe deeply again, this property delivers the space, privacy, and opportunity you’ve been searching for.

A Home with Soul — Restored Victorian Charm Meets Modern Comfort

Anchoring this 50-acre property is a 4,507 sq ft Victorian-style home, meticulously reconstructed in 2010 to preserve the grace of the 1890s while incorporating the durability and peace of mind of modern construction.

The only original room that remains is the vintage parlor — a beautiful nod to the home’s past — while the rest of the residence offers updated comfort and functionality. Throughout, you’ll find 13-foot ceilings, rich hardwood floors, ornate chandeliers, decorative medallions, and even charming pull-chain toilets that add a touch of nostalgia.

With 5 spacious bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, the home feels both inviting and grand — the perfect blend of space for family, guests, or future income potential.

A brand-new roof (installed September 2025) ensures years of worry-free living, while thoughtful architectural details bring warmth and character to every corner.

Designed for Living — Inside and Out

The main-floor primary suite includes a sitting area, ideal for reading or enjoying morning coffee as sunlight pours through the windows.

Upstairs, a wide staircase leads to additional bedrooms and a comfortable loft-style sitting area that opens onto a balcony overlooking the countryside. From there, it’s easy to lose track of time watching sunsets stretch across your private acreage.

A True East Texas Lifestyle Property

Step outside, and you’ll find everything that makes country living so fulfilling:

50 acres of rolling pastureland and scattered timber, perfect for livestock, farming, or recreation.
A pond for fishing or simply enjoying quiet reflections by the water’s edge.
A functional barn, ideal for horses, cattle, or storing equipment.
A separate guest house, offering extra space for family, visitors, or short-term rental potential.

Whether you dream of running a working farm, a hunting retreat, or a peaceful homestead, this property is ready to bring that vision to life.

The Best of Both Worlds — Country Serenity, City Convenience

One of the most incredible things about this property is its location. You’ll feel a world away from it all, yet you’re just 10 minutes from H-E-B and Walmart. That means you can enjoy the slower pace of country life without sacrificing modern convenience.

Carthage ISD offers a tight-knit community and strong school system, and the property’s proximity to major routes makes it easy to reach Longview, Henderson, or Shreveport when needed.

Endless Possibilities — Home, Retreat, or Investment

Because of its size, layout, and timeless aesthetic, this property offers a wide range of possibilities:

Bed & Breakfast or Airbnb — The Victorian charm and expansive acreage make it a dream destination for guests seeking a peaceful East Texas escape.
Family ranch or multi-generational homestead — Room for everyone to enjoy space, privacy, and outdoor living.
Hunting or weekend retreat — Abundant wildlife, open space, and the perfect blend of woods and pasture.
Retirement sanctuary — Quiet mornings, star-filled skies, and the freedom to live life your way.

This isn’t just a home. It’s an opportunity to live fully — where every sunrise feels like a fresh start, and every evening reminds you how beautiful East Texas truly is.

Ready to experience it for yourself?

Imagine starting your mornings with coffee on the porch, afternoons spent fishing in the pond or riding across your land, and evenings gathered around a firepit under the stars while deer graze just beyond your back porch. That’s life at 374 CR 104 — peaceful, private, and authentically East Texas.

Kristin Koonce Burroughs, REALTOR®

My name is Kristin Koonce Burroughs and I’m a REALTOR® in East Texas for BOLD Real Estate Group.

For starters, I’m not your average real estate agent! I jumped into this business boldly four (4) years ago because I want to make a difference. I want to do what other realtors aren’t doing.

My entire business is built around loving people well. That’s my business philosophy and that’s what I’m all about! I want others to be so delighted with my services, they can’t help but tell their friends about their experience with me. I want my clients to say, “Working with Kristin is better than trying to do this alone.”

In regards to my work ethic, I’m a morning person and I get the majority of my work done before most people’s alarms go off. I’m creative, proactive, a go-getter, self-disciplined, and self-motivated with an appetite to grow and be better than I was yesterday. I’m a problem solver who is strategic and thinks outside of the box. I have a lot of energy, talk fast, work quickly, and don’t drag my feet. I care a great deal about offering integrity, kindness, grace, and punctuality to the clients, agents, lenders, inspectors, appraisers, and title companies I interact with. I treat every client as if they were my only client because that matters to me. Folks can tell when a realtor is too busy or inattentive.

I’m not in it for the money, but I will absolutely earn my paycheck. Realtors are the most expensive part of a real estate transaction. If someone is going to trust me with the biggest financial decision they will ever make, then you can bet your bottom dollar I’m going to make sure they get their money’s worth. I’m going the extra mile. It’s who I am. I put my all into everything I do.

So, if you’re looking for a real estate agent in East Texas who can help you list property or buy property, let’s chat. You won’t regret it.
