Description
This rare Trinity River offering combines premier river frontage with a turnkey lodge and thoughtfully maintained improvements. Set along a sweeping peninsula and river bend, the property delivers exceptional access to the Trinity River and showcases pristine river-bottom habitat—towering hardwoods, native grasses, and layered cover that support strong populations of deer, hogs, furbearers, small game, and seasonal waterfowl.
A well-designed trail system winds through the hardwood bottoms, providing comfortable access to hunting setups and scenic features. Multiple stands and feeders are already in place and frequently visited by wildlife. A narrow flooded slough creates consistent duck activity, and during very wet periods, the Trinity River can overbank—drawing even more wintering waterfowl into the property. In high-water conditions, a boat can be used to reach elevated areas for whitetail hunting or to slip into timber holes for ducks, expanding the property’s overall recreational versatility.
The improvements elevate the tract into a true weekend or long-term retreat. The lodge-style home features a 3-bedroom, 2-bath layout with an open kitchen, living, and dining area beneath vaulted ceilings, plus an upper loft for additional sleeping or storage. A large deck with grilling and seating space overlooks a wide expanse of the property and offers the perfect setting to unwind after a day outdoors. The home has undergone extensive updates, including new exterior paint, lighting, ceiling fans, appliances, a new pier-and-beam foundation, and a new carport.
Additional infrastructure further enhances functionality: a brand-new aerobic septic system, new water lines to the home and other points on the property, an RV pad, multiple power hookups for additional RVs, and a well house. The classic, well-kept barn provides excellent utility—ideal for horses, equipment, storage, or future conversion into a rustic outdoor entertainment space.
With unmatched river frontage, diverse native habitat, and a move-in-ready lodge, this property is a complete package for those seeking premium recreation, hunting, and relaxation along the Trinity River.
