A RARE FIND! A private, one acre, heavily wooded lot! It has an older, but functional, 1,412 SF frame home (per tax rolls) built on pier and beams. Although the tax rolls show the home was built in 1965, the former owner was kind enough to send us an e-mail stating his father had built the home in 1920. He went on to say the home was moved onto the property in 1985 from Ingram Rd in West Lucas. It needs some TLC, but keep in mind, the property is based strictly on land value. This would be a phenomenal site for a home set back in the trees.

The lot appears much larger than it is because it abuts a creek with flood plain and huge, old growth trees. The home could be used either as a temporary residence while a new home is being built, as a fixer upper to live in permanently, or as separate guest quarters from a new main home.

The northern portion of the property has a large, natural swale, which might be converted to a pond by the future owners. It is also in the flood plain. The lot slopes higher towards the south, which would be the natural location for a new home.

There is no homeowner's association on this property. And best of all, this property is within the highly regarded Lovejoy Independent School District, one of only three exemplary school districts with over 1,000 students in the state of Texas.

Below is the view from Winningkoff Rd, up the asphalt driveway, and towards the home.

There is a large, fairly deep depression at the northwest corner of the property. The front porch of the home looks out on this view. The area accumulates water when the creek overflows. This might be a great spot for a pond (we call them "tanks" out here) with a fountain.

A stand of cedar trees is on the south side of the property. This is taken from the southeast corner of the property towards the street.

Winningkoff Rd, seen below, is a quiet, two lane, country road. Lake Lavon is literally within walking distance of the home. Nights are dark and quiet out here, but you are only minutes from great shopping in Allen or Fairview.

We live right around the corner from this property and we LOVE it! We feel like we are in the country. We can take long walks up these country roads. We see lots of wildlife such as road runners, ducks, rabbits, hawks, etc. But we are only about 15 minutes from great shopping in Allen and we enjoy one of the most highly regarded, exemplary, school districts in the state of Texas.
