The Property — A Brief History

317 W Sam Rayburn Dr · Bonham, Texas · est. 1883

Four Winds has stood in downtown Bonham since 1883 — more than 140 years. The Victorian-era residence has cycled through the full arc of a long-lived North Texas building: generations of residents, periods of activity and quiet, the slow layering of local memory that old homes accumulate.

The property sits within walking distance of the Fannin County Courthouse Square, in a neighborhood that predates most of modern Bonham. Whatever else it is, it is genuinely old — and genuinely local.

Today it operates as an owner-occupied private residence with limited short-term guest accommodations offered within portions of the home. The property’s age and character are part of what guests notice when they stay.
