Thoughtfully envisioned as a multi-generational family compound, this scenic tract offers rolling topography, spring-fed drainages, quality improvements, and a rare combination of privacy and infrastructure.

Land & Wildlife
Cool Springs Ranch features elevations ranging from approximately 310’ to 390’ above sea level, providing roughly 80 feet of elevation change and creating natural ridgelines, draws, and scenic vantage points. A balanced mix of open pasture and native timber pockets supports livestock, recreation, and strategic food plot development. Native vegetation includes loblolly and shortleaf pine, post oak, southern red oak, sweetgum, hickory, elm, and yaupon understory. Multiple small creeks and spring-fed drainages traverse the property, offering dependable water sources for wildlife and livestock alike. The surrounding landscape of mixed rural homesites and larger timber tracts supports strong populations of whitetail deer, feral hogs, bobcat, coyote, gray fox, raccoon, and small game species.
Improvements
Cool Springs Ranch is improved with two residences, a slab-built shop, multiple covered storage areas, a large well house with water well, and a 30’ x 40’ RV-style covered structure complete with electric, water, and septic hookups.
The primary residence (constructed 2022) is a low-maintenance all-steel modern farmhouse offering approximately 1,500 SF of gross living area with large, covered front and rear patios overlooking open pasture. The interior centers around a spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with granite countertops, marble backsplash, propane cooktop, stainless appliances, apron-front sink, stained concrete floors, and custom knotty alder woodwork. Two bedrooms, two baths, a large laundry room with carport access, and fiber internet complete the home.

Between the homes sits a shop building reported at approximately 1,496 SF (per appraisal district), primarily open workshop space but also including a bedroom, ¾ bath, and kitchen for additional flexibility.
