Property Description
Located just over an hour from Downtown Dallas, this exceptional approximately 115-acre property offers an incredible combination of luxury improvements, outstanding recreation, excellent wildlife habitat, and peaceful East Texas beauty. Conveniently positioned only about 35 minutes from Tyler and approximately 10 minutes from Canton and the world-famous First Monday Trade Days, the property also lies within the highly sought-after Martin's Mill Independent School District. At the heart of the ranch sits a beautifully crafted custom home featuring approximately 1,440 square feet with a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath floor plan. The home showcases excellent finishes and remarkable attention to detail throughout, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere perfect for full-time living or weekend escapes. A welcoming front porch overlooks the scenic lake, while the upstairs porch provides the perfect elevated sitting area to enjoy peaceful mornings, sunsets, and abundant wildlife views. The land itself is truly special, highlighted by a beautiful 6+ acre lake loaded with fish, including panfish and trophy largemouth bass. The lake also attracts a variety of wintering waterfowl, including numerous duck species and Canada geese. Additional ponds scattered throughout the property provide reliable water sources for both livestock and wildlife. With a strong blend of open pasture and wooded cover, the property offers outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and numerous other native species. An additional homesite area with a leveled pad and wooden fenced perimeter offers the ideal setting for a future primary residence, guest home, or family compound tucked privately among the trees. Whether you are searching for a recreational getaway, family ranch, fishing property, hunting retreat, or peaceful country escape with upscale improvements, this rare offering combines beauty, convenience, privacy, and versatility in one outstanding package.
