Discover the perfect blend of country living, recreation, and convenience on this remarkable 16.45 acre property in Rusk, Texas. Made up of five separate parcels, this unique tract features a beautiful balance of open land and mature timber, with a diverse mix of pine, oak, elm, and cedar trees that create stunning seasonal color and year round scenery. Designed for outdoor enjoyment, the property boasts four stocked ponds, each offering its own distinctive character. From fishing and wildlife watching to family recreation, there's something for everyone. One pond features a zip line, another is spring-fed by a curbed natural spring, and another lies at the headwaters of a creek. Deer and other native wildlife are frequent visitors, making this a true East Texas haven. Positioned on a scenic hilltop, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath home captures panoramic views of the landscape, including two of the ponds and the rolling terrain beyond. The home also features a converted garage currently used as a game room, a spacious 650-square-foot covered deck for entertaining, and additional covered parking. With approximately 250 feet of frontage on Firetower Lane and 1,220 feet on Moon City Road, the property offers excellent access and future potential. Located within Rusk ISD and only minutes from town, it combines rural privacy with everyday convenience. The improvements continue with a well-equipped shop on its own electric meter, separate from the home. The shop includes an RV or camper hookup providing flexibility for guests, projects, equipment, or hobbies. Conveniently situated near Tyler, Lufkin, Nacogdoches, and Palestine, this versatile property is ideal as a full-time residence, recreational retreat, multi-generational homestead, or investment opportunity. Properties offering this combination of acreage, water features, wildlife, hilltop views, and proximity to town rarely come available. Experience the best of East Texas living on this one of a-kind property.
