The Carlisle House, as it was known, is an original Harris County home built by hand by John Carlisle in the 1880's. Subsequent descendants of Carlisle sought to save the home from demolition and in 2001 transferred the home to a preservationist couple who moved the house in two parts to its present location between two other significant historic properties. The house was brought to modernity with its first ever plumbing and wiring. Five stone fireplaces were rebuilt and retain their original mantles. A spacious wrap porch allows enjoyment of the well manicured 8.18 acres with fenced garden area and relaxing goldfish pond. A small flowing creek runs through the rear property line. In the peaceful county but just ten minutes to Pine Mountain and area attractions. This could be a stunning weekend getaway or fulltime home. Large encapsulated crawlspace affords extra storage and access to plumbing. Under porches makes a great workshop space. Shop has firewood storage and a forge.
