Manson Creek created a draw on the north easement of the property which could easily become a private lake at the base of a prominent hillock with significant elevation. Because, historically, neighboring tree harvesting permitted a 360-degree view of the horizon line any elevated construction could recapture this view. The egress from this hillock is studded with massive iron ore outcroppings and major old growth pines and hardwoods that give way to old stands of bamboo that fringe the creek. This could become a grand private home site.
Located on blacktopped County Road 140, with utilities available this land boasts two scenic approaches to total privacy: 1) perpendicular to 322, and by way of the dog-leg of 137 onto 140; or 2) off 19 from Palestine via Elkhart and an even more scenic winding approach dappled by sunshine through overhanging trees.
Abandon stress, become one with nature and feed your soul. For detailed information, including limited owner financing available with a balloon in Q3, 2023 please call Trey Todd (903) 245-9761, Pine Curtain Real Estate.
