Get away from the rat-race to a peaceful, secluded, serene setting in the Piney Woods of East Texas, and only 2 hours (100 miles) from Dallas.

At $238K, this 23.6 acre beautiful spot of heaven is off the beaten track, (located 12 miles from the heart of Winnsboro, Texas) is truly one of a kind. Homeowner has taken extra care with this home, out buildings and land in the rolling hills of East Texas for the last 11 years.

This "cottage in the woods" overlooks 2 spring fed ponds stocked with channel catfish and kept in park like condition. The ponds remain at a constant level year around with an estimated 86,000 gallons of water running per day. A real commodity!!!

This property is in the Harmony School District and includes approx. 2000 sq. ft. of living space including the loft. This home, buildings, ponds, creeks, springs and 23.6 acres, are an excellent investment. If you are interested in a wonderful place to call your home or a weekend retreat, a place to bring the kids or grandchildren and walk along paths in the woods, sit by the babbling waterfall on the creek, visit around a campfire or just rest for a spell in the hammock, don't miss out on this one.
