Welcome to a truly magnificent East Texas ranch offering a rare combination of luxury living, premier recreational opportunities, and productive land. Spanning approximately 493 picturesque acres, this exceptional property is anchored by a stunning 4,539 SF custom home perched above a serene 13-acre private fishing lake. Crafted with impeccable quality and attention to detail, the residence showcases marble flooring, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all seamlessly integrated into an open-concept living area designed for both comfort and entertaining.

Infrastructure on the property includes multiple barns for equipment and hay storage, workshops, and a remarkable 7,000+ SF metal building complete with a caretaker’s apartment. A network of well-maintained trails winds throughout the property, making it easily navigable by ATV or horseback. Numerous ponds are scattered across the land, supporting both livestock and wildlife. With over 9,000 feet of frontage on a State Highway, the ranch is easily accessible and offers significant long-term value. Whether you're looking for a private luxury retreat, a working cattle operation, or a hunting and recreational paradise, this East Texas gem offers it all in one extraordinary package.
