About This Home

PROLIFIC SPRINGS flowing through the lake, improved coastal bermudagrass pastures and a combination of hardwoods and pine trees are at the center of Fairchild Farms creating the ideal ranch setting. Positioned equidistant from Quitman, Winnsboro, and Gilmer, this 348±-acre legacy ranch stands as one of East Texas’ rare offerings—where luxury living, natural beauty, and exceptional land stewardship converge. The landscape unfolds as you meander down the drive to the main house and serene spring-fed lake. At the heart of the property, a 5,037 sq ft Mediterranean-style main residence commands the terrain with timeless presence. Thoughtfully designed around a private courtyard, the home features a sparkling pool and an independent one-bedroom guesthouse, offering privacy and comfort for guests or extended stays. A separate 1,167 sq ft two-bedroom guest house provides additional accommodations, while a 3,200 sq ft metal barn delivers substantial space for equipment, storage, or ranch operations—ideal for both recreational and working-ranch pursuits. A long, picturesque driveway winds through pastures of coastal bermudagrass perfectly suited for grazing or hay production. Beyond the open fields, the wooded acreage invites abundant wildlife, premier hunting opportunities, and endless outdoor recreation. Every element of the land has been curated to balance beauty with purpose. Nestled just below the main home, the spring-fed lake serves as a signature focal point. Complete with a charming fishing dock, the lake’s continuous overflow—fed by robust natural springs—demonstrates impressive water volume and signals the potential for expansion or the creation of additional water features. Additional springs originate and feed creeks that run throughout the property. The ranch offers dual frontage on both N FM 2869 and E State Hwy 154, providing exceptional access, visibility, and long-term versatility. All due diligence and information to be verified by the buyer.
