Description

LIVE WATER & INCOME POTENTIAL! Nestled at the end of a blacktop road, but just minutes from downtown, lies Powell’s Shady Acre Ranch, a large, but manageable & TURNKEY live water property with massive opportunity for nearly any buyer. This unique property offers a mixture of habitat types for the various wildlife on the property. Just inside the custom wrought iron entrance, an existing set of improvements, rich in character, call this property home. Complemented by four separate cabins, most with full-length porches, these rustic outbuildings include custom finishes, yet echo tales of a storied past. Three oversized, aerobic septic systems, county water supplying the cabins AND the old vineyard located toward the center of the property, PLUS additional service panels provide established utilities and opportunities for significant expansion and/or development. A perfect place for those with friends or larger families wanting to spend time together but prefer a little privacy as well. Just past the cabins is a large metal barn to store all your farm equipment, and “toys” OR convert it into a pavilion / "party barn" for events and gatherings for family, friends or business endeavors with income potential. Traversing this magnificent property is basically effortless along the established road and trail network through a kingdom of hardwood timber what immediately catches your attention is the varied terrain, offering elevation changes of approximately 50 feet, painting a perfect canvas for those with a penchant for recreational adventures and tranquil solitude. But the property’s allure doesn't stop there, it’s water features truly set it apart as an oasis. While there are a couple of ponds on the property, the crown jewel, however, is Parker Creek which gracefully meanders through the southeast corner of the property. With deep banks shadowed by towering Oak and Sycamore trees, the creek presents a serene and picturesque setting with active waterfalls and babbling rapids showing strength during the driest summer months, eventually depositing its waters into the Trinity River. This confluence of water features offers not only aesthetic beauty but also a myriad of recreational opportunities. Generations to come will enjoy the fishing and waterfowl opportunities that the water features offer when they are not hiking trails or watching the native wildlife. Lastly, given its proximity to town, and home to one of the more popular universities in the state, this property is the epitome of investment, whether it be a long-term legacy ranch for future generations, an income producer as a wedding venue / corporate retreat/vacation rental, or shorter term with its development possibilities. TURNKEY!? Kubota Tractor, attached shredder, a DOZER, sawmill, AND furnishings in the finished cabin on slab will convey. Yes! TRULY TURNKEY!! This exquisite tract is a rare find and opportunity that doesn’t arise very often. The possibilities are virtually endless for those with a vision, so call today for a private tour of this absolute gem. I want to hear yours!
