Property Description
Welcome to Creekside Reserve, a rare blend of natural beauty, refined living, and wide-open freedom just northeast of Palmer, Texas. Set along the quiet bends of Grove Creek, this 159-acre ranch is a place where the rhythm of life slows, the land stretches out in every direction, and every sunrise feels like an invitation to breathe a little deeper. From the moment you arrive, Creekside Reserve feels different- grounded, inviting, and quietly remarkable. The rolling acreage is a tapestry of mature pecans and oaks, open pasture, shaded creek bottoms, and wildlife that moves through the property with a grace that can only come from decades of undisturbed habitat. Deer graze at dawn, wild turkeys wander the wooded edges, herons slide along the tanks, and the seasonal migration of monarch butterflies brings color to the land each fall. This ranch is alive in the best possible way. At the heart of the property, the main residence stands warm and welcoming- a thoughtfully curated 3-bed, 3-bath retreat that blends character-rich features with modern comfort. Antique doors reclaimed from a historic NYC hotel set the tone the moment you step inside, adding a sense of story and soul to the home. Light pours across spacious living areas, a stone fireplace anchors the heart of the home, and screened porches invite slow mornings, outdoor dining, and afternoons spent taking in the sounds of nature. Just outside, a heated saltwater pool with hot tub transforms everyday moments into something extraordinary. As the sun sets, the water glows, the sky softens, and the peacefulness of this land becomes almost tangible. Life here feels both luxurious and deeply simple - a combination that's hard to find. Creekside Reserve also serves as a part-time B&B operation that can convey with the sale, generating revenue with minimal marketing. The land itself is where Creekside Reserve truly shines. 159 acres of mixed pasture, woods, and creek frontage create endless possibilities - livestock, hay production, recreation, equestrian pursuits, or simply enjoying the space exactly as it is. The property features three tanks, two historic hand-dug wells, working cattle pens, a former horse barn with loft, cross fencing, excellent hay-producing coastal Bermuda, and wide open areas perfect for riding, hiking, exploring, and enjoying the outdoors. Wildlife is abundant, fishing is peaceful, and the views feel like a deep breath. Two thoughtfully prepared build sites offer even more opportunity- one already equipped with underground power, two water taps, a Generac backup system, a privacy wall around the additional pool, and 50-AMP RV hookups. The second build site sits atop a rise with sweeping views of the ranch, showcasing the natural beauty of the land. Every detail of Creekside Reserve has been curated to support comfort, function, and long-term enjoyment: a gated entrance, whole-home generator, storm shelter accessible from the primary suite, two propane tanks, updated screened porches, and reliable utilities all ensure peace of mind. Located on FM 813 with excellent access to nearby towns and highways, the ranch feels worlds away yet remains connected to every convenience you need. Creekside Reserve is a place that welcomes you with open skies, quiet mornings, and the feeling of freedom that only true Texas acreage can offer. A place to gather, to rest, to steward the land, and to create a life defined by space, comfort, and possibility. This is more than a property - it's an experience waiting to be lived.
