Custom-built houses and towering trees on the shores of Lake Palestine
The heavily forested neighborhood of Cumberland Ridge sits on the shores of Lake Palestine and features a wide variety of large, custom-built homes. Recreation can be had all summer long on the reservoir or at the nearby golf course at Eagle Bluff’s Country Club. Established in 1972, the community here has roots almost as deep as the mature oak and pine trees overhead. Today, residents enjoy rural seclusion and have access to nearby amenities like an HOA-maintained marina and multiple private parks. Downtown Tyler is 17 miles away, and there is limited commercial activity in the area, but that’s how homeowners like it. “It’s got varied terrain; you go through hills and wooded areas,” says Stephanie Miller, a local broker and Realtor with Standard Real Estate. “It’s got a feel like you’re still close to nature, and there’s extra space to roam.”

Lake Palestine is popular for watersports and fishing
Lake Palestine is the primary attraction, and the marina makes it easy for residents to launch into the 25,000-acre reservoir. Days on the water include everything from wakeboarding to sailing. Thanks to its underwater vegetation, the lake is a fishing mecca and consistently hosts largemouth bass tournaments. “They have firework shows on the lake for the Fourth of July and New Year,” says Holly Fitzgerald, a Realtor with East Texas Preferred Properties. “They’re incredible; you can watch them on the other side of the lake.” For recreation on dry land, residents can head to the four pocket parks scattered throughout. Eagle’s Bluff Country Club is about a mile away and offers numerous amenities, including tennis courts, swimming pools and social events. Golfers flock to the club’s Augusta-style golf course. Different levels of membership are available to non-residents.

A variety of housing styles on large grassy lots
Housing styles in Cumberland Ridge vary, but one thing that remains constant is the towering trees and expansive grassy lawns. “It’s cool because you have views of nature everywhere,” Fitzgerald says. “There’s a lot of wildlife, deer, raccoons, armadillos, so if you’re into that, this is a good place to be.” Styles range from stately ranch homes with brick facades to modern farmhouses with white exteriors and black trim. Rural wooden cabins and Spanish-style builds can also be found scattered throughout the heavily forested streets. “There are all different kinds of larger homes here, stone, brick, cedar siding,” Fitzgerald says. “One I sold was really cool. It looked like a castle. It had a little moat walkway up to the medieval door. It took a special person to buy it because it was definitely different.” Depending on year built and number of bedrooms, properties on dry lots range between $400,000 to $700,000. Lakefront estates line the shore and feature private boat docks that jet into the blue water. These builds typically cost more and price between $800,000 and $1.25 million. Most residences sit on plots of land that range close to an acre, and many homeowners enjoy Texas sunsets from their spacious wooden decks. The CAP Index crime score for Cumberland Ridge is 2 out of 10, which is half the national average of 4.
