From Oil Country to Pine Country: A Landman-Worthy East Texas Retreat

In Paramount+’s Landman, Tommy Norris, played by Billy Bob Thornton, is the quintessential Texan — navigating the geopolitical, economic, and emotional complexities of the modern oil industry while holding tight to two core beliefs: nothing is as valuable as land, and no land rivals Texas.

Now, Tommy Norris might be partial to West Texas for business, but we think he’d appreciate East Texas for a more verdant view. For this week’s Inwood Home of the Week sponsored by Inwood National Bank, we’re heading east. Less than two hours from Downtown Dallas, you’ll find a pristine patch of Palestine land so pure, it might just be paradise.

Situated on this 6.8-acre estate, an incredible four-bedroom, four-bathroom, 4,400-square-foot Palestine home makes for an ideal, updated outpost. This sprawling property looks incredible with its German smear finish, dormer windows, and white oak porch columns.

“This property is fully reimagined from the ground up,” said listing agent Emily White with The Agency. “Featuring a private pond and endless beauty, it’s perfect for a dream estate, investment, or wedding venue.”

Then, the interior marries contemporary design with timeless aesthetics. Enveloped in hardwood and accented with chic finish outs, the main floor sets a sophisticated tone. It’s incredible just how meticulous the remodel was, bringing this property a fresh, new-build feeling.

The open floor plan presents intuitive entertaining possibilities. Versatile living spaces include the main living room, formal dining, library, media room, and a game room. So, there’s no shortage of livability in this luxe home.

Of course, the kitchen boasts an expert renovation as well. Here, all new cabinetry and countertops create an energetic palette around a rich brick backsplash. Stainless steel appliances and ample prep space make this a chef’s paradise.

The primary suite is spacious and well-lit. It features a milled accent wall and more cedar beams, so it easily integrates with any personal style preferences.

Then, the ensuite bathroom is elegantly imagined around Calacatta marble and brushed brass accents. This classy retreat features a full amenity set, including dual vanities, a separate soaking tub, and a walk-in shower.

The expansive floor plan provides plenty of space for guests and get-togethers. With an abundance of gathering areas and entertaining amenities, it provides an array of options for any type of experience.

While this East Texas home offers its share of wow factors, owners upped the ante during its renovations, introducing a 600-square-foot guest house complete with a loft-style studio with kitchen, full bath, and flexible sleeping space.

This Palestine home offers outdoor living even beyond its expansive footprint. With a resort-style oasis, it’s an escape within an escape. Here, residents relax amongst a large pool with water features and built-in tables, plus over 2,500 square feet of decking, a stone firepit, and a basketball court.

Finally, at the heart of the property lies a spring-fed, fully stocked 2.4-acre pond with a floating dock and stone spillway, surrounded by mature pines, sweet gum, and mimosa trees.
