Property Description:
The Snake Creek Farm is ideal as a weekend retreat or primary residence for someone wanting a farm with beautiful views overlooking the countryside. The farm is situated on 66+/- acres of well-maintained land, with improved and native pastures. The Snake Creek, a year-round creek, runs east to west through the middle of the farm with +/- 1,800 feet of frontage on both sides of creek. There is also a nice pond on the north end of the property. The +/- 2,200 sf primary house has several patios overlooking the pastures and countryside. It is only 4 miles southeast of Palestine and 2 hours southeast of Downtown Dallas.

Additional Adjacent Land: There are two adjacent farms available for sale and listed/marketed by the Burgher-Ray Ranch Team. The property adjacent to the southwest totals 68 acres and the property to the north totals 52 acres.

Location:
The physical address of the property is 5734 E FM 323, and it is not in the city limits nor ETJ of Palestine. Though within easy access of the road, the house feels very private due to the long drive and thick trees blocking its view. The farm is 4 miles southeast of Palestine, 33 miles south of Athens and 2 hours southeast of Dallas. The property is primarily square in configuration with approximately 1,000 feet of frontage along the south side of FM 323, a two-lane, asphalt paved.
