    About this House

    If you are looking for a property that stands out above the rest with beauty, character, and location... look no further! This unique property consists of approximately 35.5 acres and is located just a short distance from Highway 121 in the scenic Valley Creek Hills north of Leonard where there are magnificent sunrises and sunsets. One of the most unique aspects of this one-of-a-kind property is the variation of the topography. The highest point is in the northwest corner of along a FM Highway. Here one will find majestic mature trees, making for the perfect place to build as one looks down into the picturesque valley with its native grasses and two ponds. This attractive property would make an excellent choice for a small cattle operation. There is an agricultural exemption with approximately 1,287 ft. of road frontage, and none of the property lies within a FEMA determined floodplain. See the various aerials that are posted in Transaction Desk.
    FM 896, Leonard, TX 75452 is a lot/land. It last sold for the $635,264 asking price on Oct 4, 2024. It is currently off market.
