IMPROVEMENTS: The main improvement on this property is a beautiful home completed around 2011-12 that is approx.. 5,306 sq. ft. heated and cooled with an additional 2,600 sq. ft. of covered areas. It features custom stained glass throughout the house, beautiful art, open main room and kitchen, an elevator, beautiful flooring throughout, and much more. The layout features the master suite downstairs and four bedrooms upstairs. Additional improvements include a large Morton building with full apartment area with its own kitchen and bathroom. The other half of the building can be used as a shop for implement storage or would be perfect for woodworking! There is also a small beach house with screened in porch, kitchen, and bathroom. In all, you can sleep approx.. 32 people in beds!
LAND: The land is approximately 280 acres with approximately 220 feet of elevation change from the bottom pasture up to the high point at the house! The makeup of the property is a good mix of open area and wooded. There is improved pasture for bailing at the bottom, then a good mix of hardwood timber, and another open area of more native pasture. The varying habitat creates a lot of edge cover benefiting the wildlife greatly. There is a great iron ore base road that leads up the hill past the barn area up to the house and improvements. A portion of the property is also fenced and maintained for a few horses.
WATER: There is an approximate 2-acre large pond that is fed by runoff from several nearby hills. The pond provides habitat for the fish as well as wintering waterfowl! There is also a small tank, swimming hole near the house with zip-line. Several creek drainage's are below the ridges on this property and some are fed by springs coming out of the hill. These areas would probably allow for some nice-sized, deep lakes.
WILDLIFE and VEGETATION: This ranch is loaded with wildlife! There is a solid herd of whitetail deer with good genetics. There are also plenty of other East Texas critters including wild hogs, coyotes, bobcats, squirrels, rabbits, and more! There are over 30 fruit trees, Black Walnut trees, naked lady lilies, wild herbs, and other native wildflowers and tree varieties.
