Description:
Own a rare piece of Texas history. The Cavitt House, a Texas Historic Landmark on 5.7 acres in quiet Wheelock, was built 1845–1854 by Ann Cavitt on a 300-acre Republic of Texas land grant from Sterling Robertson. This 5,700 sq ft, 3-story, 11-room Texana-style mansion features hand-carved cypress and pine, hand-blown glass windows, and six fireplaces crafted from pink brick and ironstone. Designed by a New England architect, it once served as a Stagecoach Inn along El Camino Real—the King’s Highway—hosting guests like President Sam Houston, a longtime family friend of the Cavitt family and celebrated Texas folklorist and author J. Frank Dobie. The property includes a southwestern style modern guesthouse (used as a successful Airbnb/long-term rental), two barns that can be used for storage, workshop or garage and an original 1836 two-story cedar log cabin ready for restoration. Some recent improvements include a renovated kitchen, two updated bathrooms, spray foam insulation, new central A/C upstairs, new plumbing. Towering heritage trees surround the home, adding beauty, shade, and a sense of legacy. Located just 25 minutes from Bryan–College Station, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities: private residence, boutique B&B, wedding/event venue, museum, cafe or RV camp. Architectural drawings by Texas A&M students are archived in the Library of Congress. A one-of-a-kind opportunity to live, host, or invest in a landmark that helped shape early Texas.
