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. A one-of-a kind opportunity to live, host, or invest in a landmark that helped shape early Texas.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
