Conveniently positioned only about 35 minutes from Tyler and approximately 10 minutes from Canton and the world-famous First Monday Trade Days, the property also lies within the highly sought-after Martin's Mill Independent School District.
At the heart of the ranch sits a beautifully crafted custom home featuring approximately 1,440 square feet with a thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath floor plan.

The land itself is truly special, highlighted by a beautiful 6+ acre lake loaded with fish, including panfish and trophy largemouth bass. The lake also attracts a variety of wintering waterfowl, including numerous duck species and Canada geese. Additional ponds scattered throughout the property provide reliable water sources for both livestock and wildlife.
With a strong blend of open pasture and wooded cover, the property offers outstanding habitat for whitetail deer, hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and numerous other native species.
An additional homesite area with a leveled pad and wooden fenced perimeter offers the ideal setting for a future primary residence, guest home, or family compound tucked privately among the trees.
