Unlike any other lakefront home, this architectural showstopper pairs the allure of a lakefront getaway with relaxing wooded seclusion. Wake to soft light filtering through the dramatic star-shaped skylight above. Head downstairs and watch the mist rise off your private two-acre pond as you sip your morning coffee. Spend your afternoon on Lake Holbrook kayaking, fishing, swimming, or just taking in the lake views from your own private dock. Explore the lake or the pond on the peddle boat, play a game of cornhole, or simply sway in the hammock on the shaded deck. Fire up the grill for dinner al fresco or create something delicious together in the fully stocked kitchen, where water views make cooking feel romantic. As evening settles in, sink into the two-person soaking tub set before a large picture window—wine in hand—as the sun melts over the pond, completely private with nothing but water and trees in view. Step outside into the quiet night for fireside conversations and an outdoor movie beneath the stars, or just let the hush of the woods and water remind you why you came. And when the day comes to a close, drift off beneath your glowing ceiling of stars, wrapped in a calm that feels worlds away from ordinary. Here, every detail invites you to reconnect and experience the lake in a way that feels entirely your own.

WHAT IS A ZOME?
A zome is a rare architectural design structure that is formed from a series of interlocking parallelograms—creating soaring ceilings and an abundance of natural light, resulting in a sanctuary that feels like stepping inside a natural wonder.

At Zome of the Stars, that design becomes the experience. The two-story open concept layout draws your eyes upward to the dramatic star-shaped skylight, while a wall of UV tinted windows in the living room frames panoramic views of the pond, woods, and lake beyond. With its one-of-a-kind zome architecture, peaceful private pond, access to Lake Holbrook, and a wide range of outdoor activities, the property offers a getaway experience that’s both unique and hard to find.

Zome of the Stars is perfect for couples looking for a unique getaway, small groups seeking a relaxing lake retreat, and guests who enjoy fishing, kayaking, and spending time outdoors.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD:
Located about two hours east of Dallas, Zome of the Stars offers a peaceful lakefront escape that’s still an easy weekend getaway from the city. The home sits on the shores of Lake Holbrook, a beautiful 650-acre lake just outside the charming East Texas town of Mineola. The property is located on a quiet, tree-lined street with very few homes, creating a relaxing and secluded atmosphere.

Lake Holbrook’s public areas include a swimming beach, two boat ramps, and picnic areas, making it a popular place for boating, fishing, and enjoying time on the water.

THE TOWN OF MINEOLA

Beyond the historic district, Mineola offers the conveniences of a small city, including Walmart, grocery stores, pharmacies, and a variety of dining options. Visitors who like to golf can book a tee time at the Mineola Country Club. The Mineola Nature Preserve, known as the “Birding Capital of East Texas,” is one of Mineola’s most popular attractions with its 20 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails, stocked fishing ponds, disc golf course, and archery range.
