Property Description
STUNNING COUNTRY RETREAT ON 12+ ACRES - THRIVING SHORT-TERM RENTAL - CREEK, SHOP & ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! Welcome to your own private slice of Texas paradise—an exceptional 12+ acre retreat offering the perfect blend of peaceful country living, modern comfort, and proven income potential. Whether you’re searching for a forever home, a weekend escape, or a turnkey investment property, this unique opportunity checks every box. A beautiful pipe-fenced entrance welcomes you home, leading to a secluded and picturesque setting complete with mature trees, a scenic creek, and wide-open spaces to explore and enjoy. Built in 2023, the thoughtfully designed modular home features stunning natural wood finishes throughout, creating the warmth and charm of a rustic lodge while providing all the conveniences of modern construction. Inside, you’ll find an inviting open-concept layout centered around a spacious kitchen with Corian countertops, a full appliance package, and plenty of room for gathering with family and friends. The cozy electric fireplace creates the perfect atmosphere for relaxing evenings, while the energy-efficient mini-split heating and cooling system provides year-round comfort. With 3 generously sized bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the home comfortably accommodates both full-time living and guests. Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, the property is already generating consistent Airbnb income and has only recently been introduced to the market, creating exciting upside potential for future growth as visibility, reviews, and repeat bookings continue to increase. Outside, the amenities are equally impressive. A detached shop with a concrete slab provides excellent storage or workspace, while RV and boat parking with hookups creates additional flexibility for owners and guests alike. The private well, tranquil creek, abundant wildlife, and unmatched privacy make this a destination people will want to return to again and again.
