Summary: Denman Lake Ranch is comprised of approximately 250.119 acres of mature mixed hardwoods, improved pasture and a stunning 20-acre, spring-fed lake. The property is located in the eastern portion of Smith County approximately 25 minutes to downtown Tyler. Denman Lake Ranch is an outstanding mixed-use property with stunning views that would make an excellent recreational ranch.Land Characteristics: This approximately 250-acre offering is comprised of two non-contiguous parcels with the main improvements, a large lake and two houses located on the south side of CR 26 which is approximately 234 (+/-) acres. Additional frontage along Old Providence Road bounds the southwestern portion of the property. There is an additional 13 (+/-) acres on the north side of CR 26 that is part of this property and offers an additional layer of control for both views and drive-up. The tract has an estimated 108 acres of mixed timber and 123 acres of improved pasture and native pasture areas in addition to the lake which is estimated to have just under 20 acres of surface area. The mixture of open and wooded areas throughout the property offers a significant edge that is very appealing for hunting purposes and the mature stand of timber offers great visibility with a relatively clean under-story.Terrain: Elevation on the main portion of the tract ranges from an approximate low of 390' ASL near the southeast corner of the property to an approximate high of 490' ASL. The higher elevation are located on the northern side of the tract and slope downward towards the main drainage where the lake has been constructed. South of the lake the elevation slopes upwards to an approximate high of 470' ASL near the road frontage along Old Providence Road.Surface Water: The primary feature on the property is a large, reservoir-style lake that is estimated to be just under 20 acres in size. This lake has been in place for many years and has reportedly been well-managed to provide an excellent private fishing spot for the next owner. It was reported that the lake has produced Largemouth Bass up to 12 pounds in the past and the current owner reports that fishing remains strong. The lake offers a concrete boat ramp and concrete spillway. This treelined feature is very private but is visible from multiple high points surrounding the lake which offers multiple options for the development of your dream home. There are two main drainages that feed the main lake with the northern drainage also having a small pond. One unique feature of the main lake is that topography and the location of the lake appear to offer the possibility of enlarging to a much larger water feature. Currently, there is an impoundment which appears to be several acres just above the main lake that has been created by beavers. The result is excellent waterfowl habitat in addition to the already excellent hunting and fishing opportunities.Improvements: 3465 SF Main Residence3 BR / 2 BathRecently Remodeled, ceilings raised in some rooms, new fixturesMassive master suite with large sitting areaAttached 523 SF, two-car garageLarge open-concept kitchen / dining area with a wall of windows for natural light and terrific views of the property1,702 SF Cabin1 BR / 1 BathExcellent views overlooking the main lakeLarge screen patio to enjoy the views in comfortLarge all-steel Shop / Shed building with high-bay LED lighting.1,092 SF is an enclosed Shop with a half bathAttached 2,860 SF of covered equipment storage.20' x 30' Detached, wood frame garage1,050 SF wood frame barn1,196 SF wood frame barnLarge wood deck overlooking the main lake spillway with an excellent view of the lakeGood perimeter and cross fencingLocation: The property is located approximately 25 minutes east of Tyler with frontage along CR 26 and Old Providence.
