TBD Tbd Acr 140 Elkhart, TX 75839

This heavily forested 46.32 acre tract of land with broad frontage, rolling topography and live water is located in Anderson County, only a two hour drive south of Dallas, Texas, and two-and-a-half north from Houston, yet five minutes from Elkhart, and less than fifteen from Palestine where all medical, technical, and shopping services are available, plus restaurants that include one fine dining, and a drive-in movie. Escape ambient light and by night actually see the galaxy of stars in your sheltering sky: by day delight in watching wildlife that relies on Manson Creek and abundant food sources. Beyond this land's untouched beauty, no pesticides or chemicals have been introduced. (Neighboring well water said to be at a 40 foot depth.) An 18-page professional forestry report detailed timbers, soils, water, wildlife, topography, etc., which inspired a Streamside Management Zone (SMZ) designation that protects the stream and grants you a modest tax of less than $52 annually. Manson Creek created a draw on the north easement of the property which could easily become a private lake at the base of a prominent hillock with significant elevation. Because, historically, neighboring tree harvesting permitted a 360-degree view of the horizon line any elevated construction could recapture this view. The egress from this hillock is studded with massive iron ore outcroppings and major old growth pines and hardwoods that give way to old stands of bamboo that fringe the creek. This could become a grand private home site. Located on blacktopped County Road 140, with utilities available this land boasts two scenic approaches to total privacy: 1) perpendicular to 322, and by way of the “dog-leg” of 137 onto 140; or 2) off 19 from Palestine via Elkhart and an even more scenic winding approach dappled by sunshine through overhanging trees.
