Caddo Lake Retreat (Texas)

2012-04-15T19:34:18Z

Caddo Lake is a 43,000 acre fresh water catchment in both Louisiana and Texas. Many kinds of edible fish are available year around. The 3.5 acre property sits on the lake with a 300-400 foot canal which provides lake access year-round. The access to the property from the lake is not easily seen. Seclusion and security is available here on the cleanest lake in the south. There is no industry which uses the water of the Caddo Lake watershed area, and there is little large scale agriculture in this area. Migratory water fowl abound, as well as Eagles, Red Fox, and many kinds of hawk.

Asking $222,222

]]>

The house was completely remodeled several years ago. At around 2,400 square feet, the house is comfortable.The house has zoned, high efficiency air conditioners to keep the house cool in the summer, and gas heat for winter. When needed, we use a 7kw generator which can run one of the ACs and the small appliances. The gas heaters use much less electricity and the generator can easily handle a winter episode. A fireplace uses gas and ceramic logs. It can easily be changed to a wood-burning fireplace. Four bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 2 water closets provide for owner privacy and visitor comfort when needed. A small "coat closet" is located near the front door of the house. A walk-in closet in the back room is large enough to make into a small office, eight by sixteen feet. The walk-in closet has its own vent from the AC. There is at least one ceiling fan in each room.

The living area and the kitchen has number 2 Red Oak floors. The kitchen cabinets are of number 1 Red Oak. The kitchen counters are stainless steel. When the house was remodeled, all of the wiring was changed using codes higher than called for in this area. All of the windows were changed to double pained, and plants do well in the sun-room off of the kitchen area. Mature Cedar and Oak trees shade the house most of the day.

Trees; Northern Red Cedar, Post Oak, Willow Oak, Overcup Oak, Sweet Gum, Bald Cypress, Magnolia, Fig, Mayhaw, several Pecan trees that the squirrels enjoy, and too many more to count. Several of the Cypress trees are over 4 feet in diameter.

The house is located a the end of a paved road, and not easily seen until one drives into the yard. It is located at the end of an FM [Farm to Market] road, also paved. The community is small and secure because of its location. The lake can be used for float planes, and a small private strip is available close to the community. Other, larger airports are located within 40 miles, including Shreveport Regional Airport, and Harrison County Airport.

Shreveport, Louisiana is home to 5 riverboat casinos, a large horse racing track, and has recently become the Louisiana Hollywood. Shreveport is on Interstate 20, 35 miles away. Marshall, Texas is located on the intersection of I-20 and Highway 59, and is 25 miles distance. Dallas, Texas is 185 miles and Houston, Tx is 220 miles from our Caddo Lake residence.

Caddo Lake is on the fly-way for ducks and geese. Duck blinds are on the lake and can be used by anyone. No new blinds are allowed, but one can upgrade any of the available ones, and be the first there for a morning hunt. Many folks hunt ducks/geese in the morning and fish for White Perch after the hunt. Fried White Perch and/or duck gumbo makes for a very good meal on a cool winter afternoon. Whitetail Deer are plentiful as are squirrel and rabbit. The Bald Eagle has now made permanent residence on Caddo Lake. There are Eagle nests close by the property. As an amateur birder, I have

plenty of additions to my life list of birds.

This community has DSL for those who want fast internet service. We have satellite tv, which happens to be bundled with the telephone and the internet.

Texas has no income-tax. Revenue is generated by property tax, and this area is in one of the lowest in the state. After age 65, the tax is frozen at the last rate for the owner prior to turning that age.

The house sits on a slab, and could easily be adapted to the needs of a handicapped person. The medical needs of the community is served by either of the cities located within 35 miles.

The barn has 2 bays, a room, and an area possibly used as a poultry pen. The greenhouse is in need of some repair. It could easily be torn down or given a face-lift to be used as one wishes. There is a boat shed at the end of the canal. It is small, but can handle my 22 foot pontoon boat and of course anything smaller. It has electricity which we use for a water pump. I use a 1 hp pump that puts out 750 gallons per hour. This water is for the garden and the lawn when needed. The barn, greenhouse, and the boat dock has electricity.

At the rear of the house is a chain-link fence for the dogs.

We are asking $222,222. Will accept gold or silver as part of purchase, at spot price.

The nearest town with over 5000 population is an hour and half drive away. Home is located about 4 miles from the town of Fossil on Highway 19, it sits about 1-2 hundred yards from state highway 19, on a gravel/dirt county road. It is about 8 miles to the Kinzua Hills Golf Course, about 11 miles to the John Day River which has great smallmouth bass and steelhead fishing, about 39 miles to the Umatilla National Forest for great hunting and an OHV park about 50 miles away.

This 3 bedroom 2 bath older mobile home that has been remodeled sits on top of a cinder block basement that is a two bedroom 1 bath apartment and a 2 car garage. It has a full covered deck on the top floor and cement deck under. A small covered porch is on the back of house. A few years back we added all new windows, metal roof, siding, insulation, sheet rocked the interior, new lighting fixtures, and total makeover on bathrooms. Last year we remodeled the kitchen, put in a bar, new counters, new sink, appliances and floor. Apartment has also been sheet rocked and bathroom remodeled. Since remodeling, the air conditioner has not been needed in the summertime (just open windows in the evening and close in morning, the house stays cool all day then). Two ways to heat home, central electric heat and a Kuma oil stove in the kitchen (it needs no electricity to run and looks like a wood stove). The apartment has a monitor oil heater. It stays cool in the summertime.

Water is from a spring (great tasting water and has never gone dry in the 29 years we have lived here). We have drilled a water well but it is not hooked up, it has a pump installed.

It sits on a little over an acre of ground that has been fenced to keep out the deer (a 6'6" woven wire around the back three sides and a wrought iron looking one in front). There are large pine trees on the back yard hill along with several small ones. There is a circular road off to the side of the house that has a place to park up to three motor homes around plus a fire pit. A unique old time looking potting shed sits in the back yard at the base of the hill. The ground is mostly mowed now but could be made into a small pasture. Plenty of room for a garden and greenhouse.

Numerous flower beds throughout the yard with flowers blooming throughout the entire growing season keep the bee's and butterflies busy. Birds of all kinds show up throughout the year, turkeys being among the largest and hummingbirds (which there are a lot as we feed them) the smallest with all kind of others in between. Lots of rock features from small rocks to big boulders are placed around the yard.

We have seen deer, elk, coyotes, badgers, raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks on the outside of the fence, while in the house or sitting in the yard.

We have one neighbor home that sits about 300 feet away that a small family occupies, no other houses for about a ¼ mile.

Jefferson County Retreat (Missouri)

2012-03-24T18:39:14Z

Full address is Section 9, Township 43, Range 4E of Jefferson County, Missouri. This very private, mostly wooded acreage in High Ridge off the beaten path would not be for sale if the owners weren't planning to relocate to another area of the state. The hilltops afford great views of surrounding countryside, while the wooded pathways and multiple small to medium ponds provide recreational opportunities. The owner has plans to stock ponds this spring.

The rolling pastures as well as wooded hills offer your choice of home sites. Imagine the possibilities for wind and solar power on the hilltops. Geothermal energy would also be a great boon here (owner has it on adjoining property for his current home). This property includes 42 +/- acres surrounded by minimally developed land with gravel & dirt perimeter roads & some cross-fencing. Current owners allow both cattle and horses on portions of the property. Great for hunting too. Enjoy the seclusion of a country home retreat, yet close to a major highways and the major metropolitan St. Louis area. Timber includes mostly oak and cedar, but possibly some hickory and maple as well. Electric very close by, with powercut and neighboring properties hooked up.

]]>

Access is off a gravel easement road, yet within 3 miles of interstate access. Adjoining property owned by this owner and possibly available once this parcel sells.

This secluded wilderness retreat is built on 3 acres of private land in the middle of the Lake Chelan National Recreation Area. There are 413 acres of private land located in parcels within the LCNRA' s 62,000 acres. This parcel is surrounded on all sides by the LCNRA and has over 300 feet of high bank river fronting on the wild Stehekin River, an undiscovered trout fisherman's paradise. The closest piece of private property is over a mile away.

All aspects of the design and construction of this property have been done with independence in mind. There is abundant pure water source from a 50 + gpm well, abundant firewood supply, an excellent growing season, with a well developed garden area and local organic farm. Stehekin has a mild temperate climate. There is a local, "off the grid hydro power" generating system in the valley operated and maintained by the PUD of Chelan. The property has a 400 amp service c/w backup power. There is fire setback protection kept in mind when the property was cleared. Fire fighting stations at strategic locations on the property with a 100 psi fire fighting system run by an electric pump with gas powered fire pump backup. There are two 500 gallon Propane Tanks offering 1000 gallons of propane storage (approx 2 yr supply) There is no cell, internet or telephone service in the valley so a commercial high bandwidth satellite system has been installed complete with backup. A sophisticated commercial grade internet, telephone and television distribution system is available throughout the property. The valley has ample game including deer, Elk, Bear and as mentioned world class fishing on the "glacier-fed wilderness river" There is a local K‐8 one room log school in the valley.

The main house has 3000+ Square feet with over 1200 Square feet of covered deck area. Additionally there is a semi-finished dry basement, great for storing food supplies as is keeps cool (+/‐ 45 degrees ) year round. The house has wood fireplace and wood stove both capable of keeping the entire home warm on the coldest of winter nights. In addition there is a propane fueled forced air furnace and supplemental electric heat in areas such as the bathrooms for extra warmth. The water from the fabulous well is crystal clear glacier fed and comes out of the ground at approximately 38 degrees year round so we fed and extra line to the furnace heat exchanger providing air conditioning when needed in the warm summer months. Three full bathrooms with showers and tubs compliment the three full size bedrooms and the master bathroom has an additional enclosed steam shower. There are really two full kitchens with the fully equipped butler kitchen boasting an electric stove / oven and sink. The main kitchen has a gas cooktop, double door stainless refrigerator and dishwasher. Full size laundry has ample room for arts and crafts storage. A warm den offers a gas fireplace and cozy feel that surrounds you with book shelves and, of course another great view of Rainbow Falls from the large windows. A wood storage / coat room faces towards the garage and stores and ample supply of wood to keep the house warm on those cold days you don't want to go outside.

Overall this is a dream home for a family wanting a retreat-- way off the grid, isolated yet with all the modern amenities.
