Own a rare piece of Texas history. The Cavitt House, a Texas Historic Landmark on 5.7 acres, was built 1845-1854. This 5,700 sq ft, 3-story, 11-room Texana-style mansion features hand-carved cypress and pine, hand-blown glass windows, and six fireplaces crafted from pink brick and ironstone. The property includes a southwestern style modern guesthouse, two barns that can be used for storage, workshop or garage. Some recent improvements include a renovated kitchen, two updated bathrooms, spray foam insulation, new central A/C upstairs, new plumbing. Towering heritage trees surround the home, adding beauty, shade, and a sense of legacy. Architectural drawings by Texas A&M students are archived in the Library of Congress.
