Since 1871, Mexia Texas has been the center of an area offering unlimited recreation, business, and family opportunities. Centrally located between I45 and I35, Mexia is just a car ride from all the major cities in Texas -- DFW, Austin and Houston, and is a neighbor to Waco, Hillsborough, Corsicana and Palestine. The town is home to 6500 residents and has a local airport, Parkview Regional hospital, and the Mexia State School. Near the property is the historic Shiloh Baptist Church. The almost 50 acres includes a custom home, a second fully-functional mobile home, pens and fencing covering approximately 10 acres, a well, a natural spring-fed pond, several outbuildings and barns, all tractors and equipment, and the farm animals. A fenced 1/3 acre garden boasts fresh grapes, figs, paper-shell pecan trees, and various fruits annually, as well as other fruits and vegetable seasonally. Wild flowers, wild blackberries & native greenery blanket the hillsides in season. This working farm is carefully designed and built for raising small farm animals. The abundant slick wire fencing built at a cost of more than $30k provides habitat and security for sheep, hybrid goats, guineas, chickens, pigeons, doves, and 7-8 farm dogs. The fencing system includes a lengthy dog run that surrounds the entire perimeter of the stock pens, fortifying the security of both stock and poultry. Approximately 40 acres of cover is home to whitetail deer, javelina, and turkey. A notable property highlight includes the large, natural spring-fed pond which provides an enchanting retreat and beautiful scenery to enjoy. A grassy pasture in front of the home is perfect for soccer games, baseball, paintball, or flying kites! A 2-bedroom mobile home resides about 100 yards from the main house, and is suitable for guest housing, or for use as rental property. Potable water is supplied by a well, and the home has been provisioned with a complete Culligan reverse osmosis and water softening system. Irrigated water supplies the pens and garden areas. The county supplies electricity and landline telephone service, and a septic tank extends east from the main house. Satellite cable TV service is provided by dish network. The large covered entryway is highlighted by leaded glass door and windows. The 4000 square foot home includes a 2000 square foot air-conditioned family living space, and a large 2 car garage with utility rooms, a covered breezeway in between, and a large wrap-around porch. The modern kitchen is the focal point of the home making it ideal for family functions. The custom cabinetry features red oak wood with mahogany stain, lending a very rich element to the comfortable farm-home décor. The home was designed and built in 2003, and certified to Cameron County hurricane codes to withstand 165 MPH winds. There were no 2x4s used in building the home -- only 2x6s or larger. All interior doors are solid wood, and the craftsmanship is evident throughout the home, from the metal roof to the rebar! This could be the doorway to the homestead of your dreams.
