About this home
Welcome to the Oldest—and Arguably Coolest—House in Emory!
Yes, it’s been on the market a minute, but let’s be honest, this beauty is just waiting for someone with taste, imagination, and maybe a Pinterest board labeled Vintage Vibes.
Behold: The Cain Estate, built between 1879 and 1881 by none other than Captain Tom Cain himself—surveying legend and multitasking mastermind of Rains, Wood, Hunt, Van Zandt and Hopkins counties. Because why build one legacy when you can do five?
This 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath architectural time capsule is brimming with history, charm, and more character than a Texas family reunion.
Cozy up in the living room where the wood-burning stove keeps things toasty, and yes—the original fireplace hearth is still intact. That’s real history, y’all.
The primary suite includes a bathroom with a clawfoot tub that practically whispers -soak here with a glass of wine and a historical fiction novel. Separate shower too, because we live in the future now.
The kitchen is warm and welcoming—perfect for whipping up everything from biscuits to brisket—and opens into a dining-living combo ideal for entertaining or just dramatic reenactments of 1800s dinner parties.
With 2 bedrooms up and 2 down, there’s room for family, friends, or that one cousin who just needs a place for a few weeks.
Sitting on nearly half an acre and just steps from Emory Baptist Church, this home is walkable to Sunday service, potlucks, or just some good old-fashioned people watching on the square.
Yes, she could use some new paint—but don’t we all after 140+ years? This home is being sold as-is, which means you get to be the one to make it shine again. It’s a rare opportunity to own a slice of Texas history—and show it some love.
Come see it today and give this grand old girl the second act she deserves. Besides, she’s already outlived most listings… and probably a few presidents.
