Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty | The Unique Luxury of Log Houses

Here, just 90 minutes from Fort Worth in the quaint and wooded town of Denison, near Lake Texoma and the Red River, are two exceptional log homes offered by Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty.

The three-story home at 1388 Elmridge Road, on almost 2.5 acres on the bluffs of Lake Texoma, looks out across the lake and Eisenhower State Park. This architectural work of art was painstakingly built using hand-hewn timber logs from Montana, Australian cypress for the floors and copper for the roof. The split-log columns and exposed trusses are remarkable. The house boasts a grand room with 27-foot cathedral ceilings, a large kitchen with eight-stool bar, a spectacular timber spiral staircase, an elevator, a loft over the grand room with lake views, a basement-level game/media room with kitchenette and more than 2,200 square feet of patio spaces around the home. The home is listed for $3,250,000 by Debra Brown.

The horse enthusiast’s paradise at 1267 Gun Club Road revolves around an updated log home on the banks on the Red River, with magnificent views. The getaway is nearly 30 acres of wooded terrain, with large hardwood and pecan tress, adjacent to the river, providing an abundance of recreational activities and tranquility. The three-bedroom home features log walls, beamed wooden ceilings, a two-story great room with large stone fireplace and a deck for relaxing around the fire pit and listening to the river run below. Top-notch equestrian amenities include a six-stall barn with tack room and bath, loafing sheds and an open-air riding arena. The home is listed for $1,145,000 by Tyler Thomas and David Burgher.
