Description
"If ever I should wish for a retreat whither I might steal from the world and its distractions, and dream quietly away the remnant of a troubled life, I know of none more promising than this little valley. This sequestered glen has long been known by the name of Sleepy Holly." This quote by Washington Irving hangs on the wall of this private retreat and is how this 54.28 acres in Henderson, TX got it's name! As soon as you step foot on this breathtaking piece of property, you'll see why. Tucked away in the heart of East Texas off FM-840, you'll find the outdoorsman's paradise. This property consists of 27 acres of NATIVE PASTURELAND and 27.28 acres of MIXED TIMBER along with a WELL-MAINTAINED, STOCKED POND and 792 square foot cabin! The luscious, green pasture encompasses the heavily wooded area, pond, and refuge place. You would never know it existed if you hadn't been there yourself and laid eyes on it! As you make your way through the trees down a well-traveled path, the glistening pond will take your breath away as it greets you like a warm, gentle kiss. A pavilion with both water and electricity hooked up sits close by so you can put your rod and reel down and enjoy a picnic lunch by the water. If you're not in the mood to fish or if the fish aren't biting, grab a mason jar and go catch some crawdads in one of the five freshwater streams that feed into the pond. The cabin is around the bend and up the hill overlooking the pond. It can be utilized as a hunting lodge! It has a fenced-in backyard, clawfoot tub, space heater, water/electricity, window unit, recently replaced windows, insulation, and antenna. The roof is only 2 years old! It has a one-car garage with a washer/dyer hookup (so you don't have to worry about tracking dirt in the house). You can easily fit a riding lawnmower, side-by-side, or four-wheeler! If that's not your cup of tea, you can build something from the ground up and stay in the cabin in the meantime. Regardless of your vision, this one-size-fits-all sanctuary is set apart! No other property can hold a candle to what it has to offer. Whether you're a hunting/fishing enthusiast dedicated to bringing home the bacon, a future homesteader wanting to become self-sustainable and detached from society, a cattle rancher, farmer, outdoorsman, love of nature, or simply want to create something lasting for the generations to come...these 54.28 acres have been loved, nurtured, and tended to for many years! "Sleepy Hollow" has witnessed (and contributed to) the raising of livestock, children, and grandchildren, and it's patiently waiting in all its splendor for new owners to pick up the pen, turn the page, and continue writing the story already being told for generations to come.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had four kids attend Henderson Middle School over the past 10 years. They all had positive experiences. Staff is friendly and caring and teachers were competent. Loved the art department! It is middle school with all the drama kids bring, so of course, there is going to be a problem here or there, but the teachers and/or principals always helped resolve any issues we had. The campus is relatively new (I think it was built in 2016) and the library is not only beautiful, but the librarian is one of the best! I have seen dramatic changes in the overall culture at the school during the past few years with teachers more focused on helpings kids than teaching to a test.Parent Review3y ago - Monnie Meyer Wylie Primary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI do enjoy some of the teachers at this school and luckily my daughter I believe had the most amazing teacher Mrs.Goodwin....however they are VERY strict to a point that they dont allow the children to be kids...I've noticed some teachers yelling at children in their faces and getting in their faces.....they also are VERY judgemental....by the grace of God I dont have finacial problems but those who do are snared down upon and are treated as if they are garbage....the adults are all about gossip....for the community to be so Faith based this school is full of hypocrites! It is ashame because the school does have potential...=/Parent Review15y ago - Northside Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMoved here during covid. Got my son signed up for a SPED Class but he ended up in a normal, but they got that fixed right away. They love my son to death. They worked hard to get him comfortable to be in a GenEd class because he is more than capable to do most of the work. I like to bring up the fact every ARD meeting we have 8 to 10 people there all involved. The teachers and therapist work hard at making it so he can succeed in life. I honestly have no complaints about this school or staff. It was a nice change from the mess of Anchorage, AK.Parent Review3y ago
