Description

Great opportunity to own an older farm house on 13.015 acres in China Spring ISD. Home will need some work but has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. A wood burning fireplace, hardwood floors in various rooms, ktichen and dining combo and a spacious living room. The guest bathroom has a shower only. Detached garage or workshop area with electrical. A small shallow pond currently holding water. Mix of hardwood trees, mesquite and cedar. The tract is cut out of a larger property. The boundary appears to be fenced in barb wire and follows the treeline. Not sure of the fencing quality on the back side of the property. The tract will have highway frontage on Wortham Bend Rd and McGary Rd. There is higher elevation where the home sits for nice distance views, two old water wells behind the house but not sure if they are working and a horseshoe drive around the home.

    "The nighborhoods are very confusing safety wise, you can mansions on one block and be in a dangerous part the next block over. I can’t say much about the schools but from what I have heard from teachers Woodway ISD treats staff well so I think there’s probably more retention there "

    "There are a lot of strays running around. And there are people who don’t pick up after their animals. So, I’ve gotten yelled at by 3 different people about my dogs going on the edge of their lawn by the sidewalk. There’s a lot of people who don’t care for their animals and just let them out of their houses, not fenced, off leash, to roam around the streets. It’s really weird. People are weird "
