Two ponds highlight the property, including a 1-acre pond and a 4 acre pond complete with a well-designed pier and plenty of spots to fish from the bank. Ducks frequently use both ponds and the surrounding habitat, and the area is widely regarded as one of the better duck hunting regions in East Texas due to its wetlands, lake influence, and position within the migratory flyway.
Large acreage neighbors border the property along the east, south, and portions of the west boundary, offering additional privacy and a quiet rural feel.
Lake Tawakoni Influence
Lake Tawakoni spans approximately 37,879 surface acres, making it one of the largest and most recreational lakes in Texas. The lake draws visitors year round for boating, fishing, camping, and water recreation, with the State Park contributing significant traffic to the region. Being only minutes from this lake has a strong economic impact on surrounding land values, creating consistent demand for homesites, recreational acreage, and lake oriented development.
The property is also located near Type 2 Public Hunting land associated with Lake Tawakoni. Type 2 areas allow walk in public access for hunting waterfowl, deer, hogs, and small game. Having both a major lake system and Type 2 hunting land close by adds tremendous outdoor value and convenience.
Location and Growth
The Wills Point and Lake Tawakoni corridor is experiencing steady growth as buyers from Dallas seek rural acreage with convenient access to the metroplex. Dallas is only 50 minutes away, making this an ideal escape for full-time residents or part-time recreational owners. With development pressure increasing from the west, sizeable tracts close to the lake are becoming more limited, enhancing both desirability and long-term investment value.
