As time marched on, the dwelling became surrounded by buildings and a super highway better known as I-20. In 1971, A...rchitect Travis Oliver and his wife Sally purchased the home with the goal of restoring the home as close to its original appearance as possible. The home was then moved piece by piece to a large tract on Horseshoe Lake Road. Over the years, the owners have built numerous additions including a pool and gazebo, a 3 car garage, a guest apt, an exercise room, and a large addition in 1980 which included a new kitchen, family room and guest suite. In 2000, they glassed in the original back screen porch, added a new screen porch, and a covered walkway to the garage. This Acadian style home features 5 bedrooms, 5.1 baths and is situated under magnificent live oak trees with a large circular driveway. The garage apartment is attached to the main house by a covered walkway and features a downstairs den area, two bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and is app. 1500 hsf Not included in the total sf is a storage building on the south side of the property with overhead doors and a 3 stall barn with a tack room located behind the house.
