Anyone who has stepped one foot across the Lone Star state line will tell you that Texans have an abundance of pride for their home. From sporting Texas flags the size of six steers in front of their houses, to reciting the state anthem from memory, folks absolutely love displaying their love for their home.

And this house for sale in Royse City proves it. The home — listed for $1.4 million — has an indoor pool house with a pool shaped like, well, Texas.

“ENTERTAIN in STYLE in the impressive Pool House with heated TX shaped pool, band stage, outdoor kitchen and built-in fireplace,” the listing on Zillow.com says. “If that wasn’t enough, there is a stunning courtyard with a hot tub & gazebo and game room.”

The six-bedroom, five-bathroom, 6,191-square-foot home on nearly five acres has a ton more to offer than just the pool, y’all.

Other cool features include:

  • Conservatory

  • Guest house

  • “Three truck garage”

  • Tornado shelter

  • Workshop with bathroom

The property nabbed the attention of Zillow Gone Wild, a Facebook account that highlights unique houses for sale, and people — especially Texans — fell in love.
