7209 HWY 16 DE LEON, TX 76444

Over the creek and through the park-like setting is a beautiful ranchette for sale in De Leon, Texas. It’s easy to imagine sipping a cold glass of lemonade on your covered front porch as you ponder your afternoon activities or equally easy to picture an evening chatting with old friends on your covered back porch. You’ll feel peacefully secluded yet will be only 3 miles from De Leon, a short 25-minute drive to Lake Proctor, or about 90 minutes from Fort Worth.

The home is a dream for a growing family, yet perfect for downsizing boasts 3,466 square feet of living space. Walking into the grand entry hall is an ideal landing space for family and friends to enjoy hours of visiting, easily flowing into the large family room for parties. The crisp look of the balcony highlights the vaulted ceiling in the family room. Imagine a grand entrance for a memorable day like homecoming at-home wedding, or siblings acting out plays for family and friends below.

A master suite, two additional bedrooms plus an office area, provide great spaces for privacy and personal space. A formal dining area is next to the family-friendly kitchen with a built-in pantry, gorgeous wood finish, plenty of storage, double oven, and a central cooking island with an indoor grill. The house is connected to county water, and the property has 3 wells and 2 ponds.

New fencing in the front and back of the property includes cross fencing perfect for horses or cattle along with the holding pens, 90×50 large barn with shop, smaller barn for holding animals, and pasture. The coastal field on the backside, totaling 75 acres, averages 125 bails. This acreage is where animals were born to live and thrive! Plenty of room for more than a few horses, dogs, chickens, cattle, and a barn cat. Plus, there is plenty of room for all the human toys and activities too! A large storage building can host an RV, boat, trailer, four-wheelers, and additional toys, while the workshop with electricity and full bath is ready for any ranch project.

There is too much about this picturesque home on acreage to discover. It’s no surprise there has only been one owner, and it is sure to go fast in the current market. To learn more about this ranchette for sale in De Leon, Texas, visit the listing site, or call (254) 977-3762 today!

The Right 20 Questions for Land Buyers

May 20, 2020 by chorton Leave a Comment

What are the right questions for a buyer to ask when considering purchasing a piece of rural land for sale? It all depends on the objectives the buyer has in mind when making their purchase.

A recent article on LANDTHINK entitled, “Top 20 Questions for Land Buyers” garnered a lot of attention and created quite a bit of controversy among LANDTHINK readers. I read many of the comments, and started thinking about what my list of questions would look like as I perform due diligence for myself or my clients when considering a property. That list would need to be tweaked a little depending on the objective for the purchase. For example, a person considering developing a tract into a subdivision on a river would have some significantly different questions to answer than a person merely buying a rural retreat for their family. So the following list would be my jumping off point for most buyers of rural tracts:

How is the property accessed? (Road frontage, deeded easement, etc..)
Are there any water features on the property? (rivers, creek, lake, springs)
Are utilities available to the property?
What is the timber like? (stand types, age, planted or natural)
Has the property been surveyed? (Are boundaries marked?)
Who are the neighbors surrounding the tract?
Can I get a clear title to the property with title insurance?
Do the timber, mineral and water rights convey with the sale?
Are there any easements on the property? (adjoining owners, conservation, utility)
Are there any known environmental concerns or latent defects with the property?
How is this property zoned? (agricultural, residential, commercial?)
What are the annual property taxes?
Have the owners received notice from any governmental agency about possible assessments or actions in the near future that would affect this property?
Will the property be conveyed subject to covenant and restrictions? (If so, what are they?)
How does the land lay? (slopes, bottomland, elevation change, etc…)
Are there internal roads and trails?
Do all of the improvements to the property convey with the sale? (gates and fences, shooting houses, out buildings, etc…)
Does the land drain well or does it stay wet for much of the year?
If I had to sell this property again in a year, is it desirable to other potential buyers?
Can I pee off my porch in privacy?

Buyers that are considering purchasing land for growing crops would also be concerned about things such as:

What is the corn grain yield per acre?
Is it possible to irrigate with a center pivot?
Is an irrigation permit available from the Army Corps of Engineers?
What is the soil profile of the property?
Where are the nearest grain processors?

An investor purchasing timberland for their portfolio would ask questions like:

What is the site index of the land?
Is any of the timber merchantable now?
Is more than 70% of the property sloped suitably for growing and harvesting timber?
Where are the nearest wood outlets and mills?

The list could go on indefinitely for developers, hunters, farmers, investors, and survivalists. The point I am trying to make is that you need to know what your objectives for owning a rural property are before you can even know the right set of questions to ask. This is one reason a buyer should engage the help of a competent agent when purchasing a rural property. Having someone working for you that knows the right questions to ask can save you thousands of dollars and make your transaction much safer and pain-free.
