Recreational Land with Home for Sale in De Kalb, Texas

Nestled on a 9 acre private lake, is a rustic 2 story cabin, with covered porches, one all along the back side of the cabin overlooking the picturesque lake. Enjoying early morning coffee on this porch in the springtime, you'll hear the gobbles of Eastern Wild Turkey. This cabin has a 2 vehicle attached carport with multiple storage areas. Fishing in the private lake, you'll catch numbers of largemouth bass, or in May, fish the multiple bream beds around the lake. Just a short ride down the road you can enter the ranch thru 3 different gates, which has miles of trails to travel whether you are enroute to harvest a bruiser old buck, a limit of duck, a limit of dove, fill the feeders, or just enjoy a quiet drive through property, viewing the native wildlife. It is common to see whitetail deer on most every trip into the property. Take advantage of this rare opportunity to own 444 +/- acres in the Red River Bottoms, with 2/3rds of a mile of oxbow frontage on a private lake formed when the Red River changed course about 8 years ago. This property is a waterfowl magnet, with hundreds and hundreds of ducks making the oxbow and surrounding water impoundments their winter home. This duck haven has 8 shallow water impoundments, designed exclusively for ducks. In addition to hunting your private waterfowl impoundments, you can hunt the oxbow which provides acres and acres of huntable water. Pumping from one area of the oxbow into a chain of canals will fill 7 of these sloughs. The 8th slough has a planned future well for filling it. All impoundments have water control structures to maintain water levels while the waterfowl are here, and then drain them in late spring to allow them to dry out & prepare for summer planting. The canal system was designed to be planted in rice. Deer hunting on this property is absolutely phenomenal with a high density of deer, large bucks and a good buck to doe ratio.
