Escape The Bustle To Picturesque Acreage Near Dallas

This Wills Point house is remarkably inviting and the 21-plus acres it sits on are incredible. But it’s what this home represents that makes it the stuff of daydreams. 

Of course, you don’t have to pinch yourself. Just swing by from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 30, as listing agents Rosemary Tonoli and Madison Hughes will be there for an open house featuring signature fall cocktails, $100 gift card giveaways, light bites, and no doubt, plenty of witty repartee. Rumor has it there will even be guided golf cart tours of the property.

Make Your Way to Wills Point

There’s a pond within perfect view from the house. You can literally look out your window or sit on the covered porch and watch deer at the feeder or catch a sunset over the pond. The woods have been trimmed and pruned with defined trails that are a blast to explore by ATV or foot. Not to mention, they would be the most enchanting backdrop to every childhood. 

A custom-crafted outdoor dining table conveys with the property.  Think of it as an exterior dining room with seating for up to 16 set under shady trees and in the evening, criss-crossed strands of twinkling string lights. Then, there’s the firepit to keep the conversation going well into the night. Because honestly, when you’re at The Point, you never want the days to end. 

The big red barn has a loft, a workshop, and a workbench with plenty of room for all your tools, toys, fishing poles, golf carts, ATVs, and the quintessential canoe that also comes with the home. It’s also the first place to look when you call your kids for dinner because they’ll be in and out of there all day. 

It’s the most idyllic setting and, as Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty’s Rosemary Tonoli pointed out, it’s unbelievably close to Dallas. The peace, the tranquility, the opportunity to escape to a place where time moves a little slower — all one easy hour away. 

Cozy Confines Make For an Instant Classic

Now, a bit more about the house. Austin stone on the exterior with two covered porches — one in front and one that’s partially screened out back — both running the length of the house. Inside, the main living has vaulted ceilings lined with wood planks and an incredible Austin stone fireplace that anchors the room and if we’re being real, every holiday, too.

If there’s one word to describe the house, it’s classic. Iconic. It’s Hallmark movie-level cozy. Everything is simple and modern, but with just enough character to set the scene. 

In the kitchen, black granite countertops complement the crisp white shiplap. It opens to the living room with the soaring ceilings and dormer window tucked up top to invite the sunshine – and moonlight – in. 

There are two primary suites downstairs, both with ensuite bathrooms. They added a second story because, seriously, everyone wants to be there, it’s just that special! The new second floor offers two additional bedrooms bringing the total to four. One is a “triple room” with three single beds all lined up, camp style for the ultimate slumber party. 

Wills Point is near Canton’s First Monday Trade Days and that’s going to work in your favor this weekend! In addition to collecting some new holiday décor, you can snag your dream home while you’re out there. 

Tonoli and Hughes have 2829 Vz County Road 2144 listed for $995,000.
