HISTORIC COTTON GIN TURNED INTO HOME!

Ever wanted to live in an 8300 sq ft cotton gin? That's right, this house is a 100 year old cotton gin that was one family's vision to turn an antique concrete structure into a place of comfort and relaxation. HISTORIC PROPERTY! Details: • 6000+ sq ft of finished living space • 2300 sq ft of additional unfinished space under roof • 3 BD/3 BTH main home, plus 2 BD/2 BTH apartment; total of 16 rooms • Open concept kitchen/living/dining room • 22 +/- acres of land • Live creek flowing through the property • 3200′ x 100′ potential air strip • Paved road frontage LOCATION: The property is located in Wilbarger County, Texas, near the Oklahoma border in the historic town of Odell, on the paved FM 2379. Just 15 minutes north of the town of Vernon (pop. 11,000), all the amenities of modern life are close by. If you are looking for a central hub for family gatherings and holidays, this property is conveniently located within three hours of Dallas, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Amarillo, Lubbock, and Abilene. THE HOME: This building is one large, solid structure and has concrete overlaid walls up to 12" thick in some parts. It is like a fortress; you can feel the strength and integrity of the place by just walking beside its massive walls, which stand some 22′ high. When the owners started this project, they stripped the place down to the original frame and built up from there. Reinforcements and additional structural improvements were added where needed. The whole building was wired, and plumbing was installed. A metal roof was built over the original flat tar roof, and new double-pane windows were installed. The building was left with its original character on the exterior though, and there are brick, bolts, and angle iron exposed in certain areas, reminding you of its history and original use. The main house has two stories and over 4600 sq ft of living space. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms provide plenty of room, plus there's a library and an office. All the bedrooms and two of the bathrooms are upstairs; the third bathroom and everything else is downstairs. The kitchen opens up to large living room with a gas fireplace; this space can very easily flow outside through the sun room for more entertaining space. Out back, there is a long concrete patio/walkway, where you can grill and enjoy a beautiful sunset over the creek. The interior has carpet throughout it. An additional den, large utility room, and extra storage closets round out this beautiful home. On the south end of the building, the owners used a 1440 sq ft storage room as the layout for the mother-in-law suite. The apartment they built here has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, its own kitchen, living room, and private patio deck. This apartment is great for weekend guests, providing them their own space and privacy. The gin has four other empty spaces, totaling over 2300 sq ft, that could be used for anything from an indoor pool to a movie theater, additional storage or vehicle garage. One of these rooms is currently being used as a sitting area and has a wood burning stove in it; another has been used to pick guitars because of the acoustic qualities of the concrete walls and ceiling. The possibilities with such a large structure are truly endless! Overall, there are more than 8300 sq ft of space within the gin building. THE LAND: The Odell Cotton Gin sits on 22 +/- acres, with Wanderers Creek, a spring fed tributary of the Red River, running through the middle of it. With over 600 feet of frontage on this creek, you get the benefit of live water year around, plus fishing opportunities and the scenery of its hardwood lined banks. The bulk of the acreage is in grass and could be used to graze horses or cattle. Lots of wildlife frequent this property too, and it is not uncommon to see a flock of Rio Grande turkeys in the back yard or whitetails crossing the pasture. There is enough room to put in a 3,000' priva
