Description
Set along the prized shores of World Renowned Lake Fork in the heart of East Texas, this extraordinary 788 ± acre offering is a rare and irreplaceable legacy property. Held within the same family since the late 1800's, the land remains untouched, never hunted, and undeveloped, preserving its natural beauty and abundant wildlife habitat for generations. Boasting over two miles of shoreline along Lake Fork and frontage associated with the Sabine River Authority, this tract offers a unique blend of seclusion and recreational potential. Approximately 200 acres are subject to a leaseback with the Sabine River Authority, adding both character and versatility to the property. This is a true multipurpose investment with limitless possibilities. Envision a premier private estate, an exclusive hunting retreat featuring trophy whitetail deer, wild hogs, and turkey, or a thoughtfully designed development capitalizing on the area’s natural appeal. The combination of water access, mature timber, and unspoiled terrain makes this property exceptionally rare. Conveniently located just 60 miles east of the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex, the property offers both accessibility and privacy. Surrounded by charming East Texas towns, scenic golf courses, and abundant outdoor recreation, this setting delivers the perfect balance of escape and convenience. Whether you seek a private recreational haven, a legacy ranch, or a development opportunity, this remarkable Lake Fork property stands as a one-of-a-kind East Texas retreat.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am not quite sure why this school is a 3 rating. The school has amazing teachers, and the students seem to thrive well here. Lots of activities for students to participate in year-round. Both of my kids transferred here from California. My freshman at the time flourished, while my junior didn't want to come to Texas in the first place. He graduated with good grades. He liked most of his teachers. I love the positive attitude of the parents, and how welcomed we felt coming from such a dysfunctional state.Parent Review3y ago - Sulphur Springs Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has truly tailored their approach to help make each child successful. Through the remind app we are in constant contact with the teachers over reminders for homework, field trips, and extra curricular activities. There are a lot of opportunities for enrichment. They use multiple computer aided programs to encourage children to work on their level and improve. We have been here since kindergarten and been blessed with excellent teachers every year. The dyslexia program has been amazing. A great place to send a child to school!Parent Review8y ago
