About this home

Original owner, 1960s ranch-style home on 2 acres, overlooking wide Central Texas sunsets every evening. This land holds a rare piece of Texas history. It was the site of the J.T. Rogers cabin, which dated to the 1860s and was one of only a handful of two-story log cabins left in the state. It served as a stagecoach stop, and Chisholm Trail riders once stopped here for water during a drought. The cabin was lost to a fire in 2023, but historic remains of it still rest on the property; you can walk the same ground those travelers did more than 150 years ago. Explore the rest and you'll find a gentle rise with scattered shade trees, a water well, and a cistern; plenty of room for a future shop or home expansion. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, with a brand new roof and newer HVAC, so the big-ticket items are handled; everything else is ready for your personal touch. The third bedroom can also be utilized as a den or formal living room, creating a flexible layout. Located about 30 minutes north of Waco and 10 minutes from downtown West, and zoned to the highly respected West ISD. Come discover a home that's been loved and cared for by one owner its entire life.
