About the Home and Area
1901 Rose Point is a single-story brick and stone home on about 9 acres, outside Athens city limits in Henderson County. It's about 5,920 square feet per the county appraisal record, with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a half bath. There's no HOA.
The living room has a marble fireplace and big windows that look out on the property. The kitchen is 27 by 14 feet, with granite counters, an island, a walk-in pantry, an AGA stove and oven added in 2022, and a built-in brick pizza oven. There's a formal dining room and a breakfast room.
There are two primary suites. The main one has custom closets, a garden tub, a separate shower, two sinks, and its own door out to a large deck.
The game room is 40 by 24 feet, with a vaulted, beamed ceiling and a wet bar. There's a second living area, 17 by 17, and an office with its own fireplace. Three fireplaces in all, wood-burning with gas logs.
The 3-car attached garage faces the back, so the front of the house stays clean.
The land comes first. About 9 acres with mature trees, a pond, and walking paths. Wrought iron fencing and an automatic gate at the drive. An underground sprinkler system covers the yard. The Trex decks out back are new as of January 2026.
Lake Athens is about 10 minutes away by FM 317. This home is not on the water. Per Texas Parks and Wildlife, the lake is 1,799 acres, impounded in 1962, and run by the Athens Municipal Water Authority. TPWD rates its largemouth bass fishing as excellent. The lake record bass is 14.19 pounds, and special bass regulations apply. The public boat ramp is on Marina Drive.
Close to the lake, the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center is a TPWD hatchery and visitor center. TPWD says it offers fishing with rods, reels, and bait provided, and a 1.2-mile round-trip Wetlands Trail.

Athens is the Henderson County seat, and has been since 1850. The town site was 160 acres donated by Matthew Cartwright. The first district court met under an oak on the square. Dulcina Holland suggested the name, hoping the town would be a center of learning. Today the Handbook of Texas calls it the Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World. The 2020 Census counted 12,857 people.
The courthouse square is about 10 minutes from the gate. In April it fills up for the Athens Old Fiddlers Reunion, billed as the oldest continuously running fiddle contest in Texas. Live music, a classic car show, vendors, armadillo races, and Western swing dances in the street. The 96th runs April 15 to 17, 2027.
