BIOLOGICAL- Typically, areas along rivers, streams, creeks, or other live water sources produce beautiful hardwoods. Here, you will find towering Pecans and strong Live Oaks. Fun fact: did you know that Live Oak trees start producing acorns when they are around 20 years old? Those acorns also produce more natural food for free-roaming wildlife. That’s a plus! The beautiful towering Pecans provide shade and shelter and produce edible nuts for humans and animals alike. Photogenic Sycamore and Cedar Elms add to the highly pleasing scenes.

PLANTED- Recently planted native trees include Big Tooth Maples, Bur Oaks, Red Oaks, Lacey Oaks, Bald Cypress, Escarpment Black Cherry, Chinese Pistache and Peach Trees. It's a gorgeous mix that’ll definitely grow to be stunning and eye-catching. Hues of oranges, golds, and reds come in the fall.

DETACHED 4-CAR GARAGE/SHOP- Beyond comfortable parking and storing 4 vehicles, this garage space also functions as a great workshop and storage unit. There is a dedicated area for a full-size refrigerator to keep refreshing beverages while out and about, a workbench for those crafty ideas that come to life, and extra room for all those random items and seasonal decor. It’s a great place to organize things: UTVs, vehicles, paddle boats, river floats, and just about anything you want to stow away.

THE BARN- Built with big dimensions to house your larger equipment like trailers, tractors, mowers, and attachments, the barn is an exceptional space for... MORE! A huge space with a concrete foundation and a fully enclosed store room help keep things tidy and in place. A place for everything, everything in its place!

LIVESTOCK PENS- The barn overhangs serve as ideal covered shelter for small livestock. Currently, chickens house the pens with a Taj Mahal setup, a fine upbringing for healthy, happy livestock. The areas under the barn overhangs create a great transitional space readily adapted to your needs.
