If ever you wanted to own a rustic cabin in the woods, this is it! Cedar board & batten on the outside, bright and refurbished on the inside. Upstairs loft/bedroom allows tree top views of land managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers as a part of Lake Somerville management. This Corps managed land borders the property. Downstairs is an open floor plan with a wood burning stove. The front porch is 6' * 24' and allows plenty of shade while sipping morning coffee and enjoying watching the deer feeding in the morning times. 10'* 24' screened in back porch overlooks a lovely fenced yard and also has views of the Corps land.
A brand new aerobic septic system was installed this year. Energy saving heat pumps keep the inside warm and cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. Raised, fenced garden bed. Two seating areas inside the fenced back yard complete with table, chairs and outdoor wood stove. Sturdy garden shed offers room for outdoor mowers and tools.
Enjoy small herds of protected deer roaming around the property and lake fishing among various other recreational activities just down the road. Birch Creek Forrest offers it's own helipad, volunteer fire department, private boat ramp, and swimming pool.
Approximately: 100 miles to Houston, 88 miles to Austin, 36 miles to Bryan/College Station, 19 miles to Caldwell and 31 miles to Brenham.
