400 Kalyn Drive , Hemphill, TX 75948(Sabine County)

This East Texas mansion is built on .791 acres, but contains approximately 3 acres (including leaseback) of waterfront property, which is surrounded by Lake Toledo Bend. The leaseback property costs approx. $130 annually and measures 723 feet. The family spared no expense when building their dream home and choosing an ICF built home. Insulating Concrete Form homes are termite proof, earthquake proof, have a 3 hour fire rating and can stand winds up to 250 minutes per hour. The exterior walls and all load bearing walls are twelve inches thick which break down as an eight inch concrete/rebarb center and two inches of Green Block insulation on each side. The Green Block material will hold a screw every six inches the same way a wooden 2x4 would. You might ask why the family built such a strong home in this area, "we don't have earthquakes or 250 mile per hour winds"... well this family has a rich history in Sabine County with a strong foundation and did not want this home to be any different!
