Description
Welcome to Departee Creek Ranch
Tucked away in tall pines just off Blackland Road, your new home at Departee Creek Ranch overlooks the beautiful Departee Creek bottomland. Imagine settling into a rocking chair on the porch with a warm cup of coffee and enjoying the serene surroundings.
This land offers endless potential for farming, ranching, recreation, or equestrian pursuits. The Departee Creek bottoms are teeming with wildlife year-round. The current landowners have spotted deer, turkey, and even mallard ducks, and you'll want to check the listing pictures for this season's buck potential. Large timber tracts to the south and east further enhance its status as a wildlife sanctuary. This is currently a mixed-use ranch, with owners historically running a cow-calf operation and reserving areas for hay production. They also enjoy evening horseback rides to check fences and count cattle. While fertile, Departee Creek can experience flash flooding, so it's recommended to keep cattle on the north side of the creek when storms are approaching.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is situated on the highest elevation of the property, safely out of the floodplain. Finished with a mix of cedar, pine, cypress, and sheetrock, it offers a rustic feel with all the modern amenities. With propane appliances, you'll have comfort and warmth regardless of weather that may affect other utilities. Find your inner child when climbing the knotted rope into the unique 8x14 playroom. The master suite features an ensuite with a walk-in shower, cedar closet, soaker tub, and direct access to the laundry room. Built with simplicity and longevity in mind, the home features stained concrete floors for ease of maintenance. Despite its less than 1600 square feet, the excellent layout you will never feel cramped and if you enjoy outdoor entertaining the full-length porches on the front and rear of the house are a dream. The views are priceless, and the potential here is truly endless.
