This amazing Ag- exempt property offers a remarkable combination of natural beauty and versatility and is priced under tax value. Located in the Palo Pinto Mountains, it features nearly 1,000 feet of Palo Pinto Creek frontage, providing excellent fishing and scenic views. A large coastal field currently used for hay production also offers strong potential for grazing livestock or producing hay for sale. The lower portion of the property lies within a flood zone due to its proximity to Palo Pinto creek. An existing home is present but is considered to have no contributory value and will more than likely need to be taken down. The property is equipped with a working water well and electricity is in place. Heavily wooded areas include numerous oak and pecan trees, creating a diverse landscape that blends creek frontage, rolling terrain, open pasture, and mature timber. Recreational opportunities abound, making this an ideal property for hunting, fishing, livestock, or a private retreat. Access is provided by a deeded road just under one mile in length with three gates before reaching the property.
