5741 ACR 1225 , Palestine, TX 75839(Anderson County)

An existing set of improvements, rich in character, calls this property home. Complemented by a detached shop, garage, and two barns, these rustic outbuildings echo tales of the land's storied past. The residence and shop / garage buildings are currently basic shells but could be renovated to create the perfect weekend get-away or razed so the hilltop site with views of the pond could be utilized to construct your dream home. The site is ready for a variety of uses with electricity and a deep water well reported to be approximately 500 feet deep that are already in place. Just a short walk from these charming structures lies the property's crown jewel, a serene pond spanning approximately 1.6 acres at full capacity. It's the perfect oasis for wildlife and a scenic spot for reflection. Generations to come will enjoy the fishing and waterfowl opportunities that the pond offers when they are not hiking trails or watching the native wildlife.

But the property's allure doesn't stop there. The general area is well known to many for its premier Whitetail Deer hunting. This is one of only a handful of small tracts that are located amongst some of the largest properties in the region. This exquisite tract is a rare find, a treasure that surfaces only once in a generation. And when it does, it's pursued relentlessly by those longing for a taste of true Texan wilderness. Call today for your private tour of this absolute gem!

Land Characteristics:

The property is slightly irregular in shape with county road frontage along it southern and western boundaries. The southern boundary, along ACR 1225 is the site of the main entrance to the property that leads to the improvements and pond. The western boundary generally follows ACR 1227 which runs north and south. Elevation on the property ranges from an approximate low of 400 ASL to an approximate high of 550 ASL. Elevation slopes to the southeast from highs on the northern, western and southern portions of the property. The property is basically a hardwood valley that has no flood zone area but is surrounded by higher ground. Massive hardwoods can be found throughout the property but only limited pine timber remains. The result is a property that offers an ideal ecosystem for wildlife. The main feature of the property is a pond that is estimated to be approximately 1.6 acres at full capacity. This feature is located just below the current improvements.

Improvements:

Current improvements consist of an older frame residence that was reportedly constructed in 1977 and was estimated to have approximately 1,316 SF of GLA. The residence has two bedrooms, one bath and a small living room that opens into a kitchen area. The residence has been mostly gutted but could be remodeled to revive the utility. Adjacent to the residence is a large building with a shop, covered porch and a garage. This structure is in similar condition to the residence, but both appear to be salvageable with some effort. Just below these structures are two wood-frame, galvanized tin barns that offer additional storage. Most of these structures have electrical in place and there is also a water well located in the shop building that was reported to be 500 deep. No paperwork is available for the water well so the buyer would be responsible for confirming any further details.
