Water: The extensive amount of water on this property is highlighted by the 15± acre spring-fed lake which provides year-round activities and a beautiful setting.

There is a good mixture of hardwoods throughout this property including large Live Oak, Spanish Oak, Post Oak, Cedar Elms, and a particularly spectacular Pecan bottom along one of the creeks.
