County Road 3527 , Saltillo, TX 75478(Hopkins County)

The property is defined by White Oak Creek, which runs southwest to northeast, providing a year-round water source that supports a rich ecosystem. A centerpiece of the land is a beautiful 6-acre private lake, highly suitable for waterfowl habitat. Its shallow edges, surrounding cover, and proximity to wetlands make it a prime location for migratory ducks and geese. This, combined with six additional ponds, creates an excellent habitat for waterfowl, fish, deer, turkey, and wild hogs.

The mix of open meadows, mature hardwoods, and reliable water sources fosters a thriving environment for diverse wildlife, supporting multi-species hunting and year-round wildlife viewing. The property has a history of being leased for hunting, underscoring its strong potential as a recreational retreat.

TRAILS, ACCESS AND UTILITIES

A network of established trails winds throughout the property, providing excellent access for hunting, ATV riding, hiking, and horseback riding. The East Gate entrance offers secure and direct access via a paved and gravel county road just 2.5 miles from Interstate 30, ensuring convenient year-round travel.

Electricity is available via overhead power lines that run northeast to southwest across the front of the property. An existing transformer near the Rustic Livestock Shade Shelter provides a convenient access point for extending power to homesites or recreational buildings. A storage container located northeast of the entrance offers convenient storage for gear and equipment.

Water service is available for future homesites; however, extending the waterline to the property will require additional investment. Interested parties should contact Brinker Water Supply Corporation in Sulphur Springs for more information and connection estimates.

MINERAL RIGHTS

Sellers will convey mineral rights, if any, providing an added layer of value to the property.
