About this property

8-Mile Lake Views/ Boathouse/ Fire Pit/ Pet Friendly

Welcome to your Lake Palestine getaway, where breathtaking panoramic water views, relaxing outdoor spaces, and unforgettable sunsets create the perfect East Texas escape.

Perched on a premier waterfront lot, this lakefront retreat offers nearly 8 miles of open-water views that can be enjoyed from the deck, backyard, boathouse, and living areas.

The outdoor spaces are what make this property truly special. Start your day with coffee overlooking the lake, spend the afternoon boating, fishing, swimming, or exploring Lake Palestine, and end the evening gathered around the lakeside fire pit under the stars. The private boathouse and dock provide easy access to the water, while the large fenced yard offers plenty of room for children and your pet to play.

Inside, you'll find a comfortable and inviting lake house designed for making memories. Large windows showcase the incredible water views, while the open living areas create the perfect space for spending time together after a day on the lake.

Guests love the peaceful setting, stunning sunsets, and convenient location. While you'll feel miles away from the hustle and bustle, you're only a short drive from Tyler's restaurants, shopping, golf courses, wineries, and local attractions.

Perfect for:
• Family vacations

Why guests keep coming back:
✓ Panoramic open-water views

✓ Premier fishing and boating
✓ Peaceful waterfront setting

Whether you're watching the sunrise over the lake, casting a line from the dock, cruising the water by boat, or enjoying a sunset around the fire pit, you'll quickly understand why this is one of Lake Palestine's most memorable waterfront escapes.

We look forward to hosting you and helping you create lasting memories on the lake.
