Acreage Off Market

There simply is no other property like this in East Texas to build a dream home. - - The serene country setting is just minutes from the heart of Kilgore, Longview and East Texas Regional Airport; and the great location is just the beginning.. - The pristine 5.5 acre lake is too clear to believe and has 4 walk bridges that establish a private walking trail around its banks. The wooded trails, bass fishing, abundance of wildlife and incredible scenery ensure fun filled days will be had year-round. This place has a little bit of everything with huge hardwoods, planted pine and improved pasture. - It's as if the property has been preserved in time and you can feel the rich history when you step foot onto it. - - This was once part of 1,837 acres owned by M. Tracy Flanagan who was a flamboyant and successful businessman of Longview during the 1930's and thereafter. Tracy and his wife Arlyne built the rustic ranch house on the lake in 1930 to serve as their pleasant country retreat. - Nearly a century old handcrafted iron ore rock work is present in many places including the house, outdoor fire pit/ smoker, and lining the lake's concrete spillway. - - The two-story ranch house is 2,660 square feet under roof and features two fireplaces with petrified wood chimneys, large hand-notched wooden ceiling beams and front & rear porches. It sits just feet from the lake's edge and could be renovated into a great guest or party house. A little TLC would go a long way to have it fit the new owner's vision and lifestyle. - - There are three covered pavilions near the house and lake for entertaining and picnics as well as an outdoor restroom facility. - - - - The property has three access gates along FM 2276 and over 1,600 feet of road frontage. There is additional acreage available across FM 2276. - - This will make one of the finest showplaces in East Texas for the new owners.
