This fine parcel features a proven, engineered lake of about 7.5 acres, which is down only five feet as of this writing even after an excruciating drought now into its 25th month. This beautiful body of water is nestled in a picture-book setting in a private valley surrounded by brushy hills, knee-deep grass and healthy oaks. The banks are gentle and accessible, and the fishery is rated as excellent, with a 7 lb. bass harvested recently.
The lake is large enough to jet ski on, and there is a nice pier and small dock on the south shore. A spring-fed creek feeds this lake, which flows water most of the time, and there are a series of concrete step dams on the creek which impound water much of the time as well. Two strong springs originate in fascinating side canyons, one of which has flowed throughout the recent drought.

The creek bottom is gorgeous, with towering elm, liveoak and walnut trees providing shade and roosts for turkey. Most cedar has been removed, and the look is refined, lush and park-like. Hillsides are somewhat thicker, providing cover for the herd of whitetail deer that are in residence on the site.
A soaring ridgeline bisects the property, with views of the surrounding countryside that are stunning. Cedar control has been practiced on much of the top country, with much open prairie on the SW section of the parcel. There are strong stands of Klein grass, Wilman Love Grass, Panicum, Indiangrass and Sprangletop. Grazing capacity of this ranch is far above normal for the area.
Improvements are ranchy, clean and adequate, and include a 3 BR stone ranch house, several storage sheds, and a large barn. A nice patio area on the home’s south side takes advantage of prevailing breezes, and there is a clean field in front of the house over which to gaze. Fences and crossfences are fair to excellent, and there is deer-proof fencing along the highway and part of the property’s backside. A good water well with submersible pump serves the improvements, and it pumps up to a hilltop storage reservoir.
The north 145 acres consists of 5 lots in highly restricted Las Colinas subdivision, which insures total privacy for the lake and any homesite overlooking it. This land consists of a wooded hillside, with all lots fronting on a paved, private road. An annual road maintenance fee of $500/lot is required as part of this ownership, and the land and adjoining lands are subject to sensible restrictions, protecting future value and enjoyability.
This offering allows one to have utility upon closing of a purchase, with all parts already in place except for the dream home. Recreation, scenic beauty and potential for livestock or horses combine to make this a complete package for the family desirous of the very best of all worlds. We look forward to the opportunity of sharing it with you in person.
