This nice home on 19+ acres is located right on the edge of town at 723 Garmon Drive, Early, Texas. There are more than 15 mature pecan trees on the property that have produced a small income from the harvesting of the nuts. The property enjoys an agricultural exemption, making the taxes very affordable. Highway 183/84 that runs right in front of the property is currently being updated. The improvements include new driveways, curbs, gutters, and improvements to the drain system that will supply additional water to the Delaware Creek that crosses the property and feeds one of three ponds that are on the property. This creek also has two underground spring spots that never go dry.

This property is perfect for raising horses or cattle. There is a two stall barn that also has some hay storage available. A corral and a loading chute connect to the barn. There is a set of pipe pens and another corral that is closer to the home. There are two storage containers on the property along with a two sided pole barn and 15 x 30 utility shed. About eight acres is in mostly coastal hay with some native grasses mixed in. Another seven acres or so is in native pasture and lots of trees. Tree types include live oak, pecan, some mesquite, box elders, and others. There are two ponds/tanks on the property that are stocked with fish. One of those ponds is 65 feet deep. They have kept water in them the last few years despite the drought. There is a third pond/tank on the property that is shared with a neighbor. Half of the perimeter has pipe fencing with mesh and the rest is up to ten strands of barbed wire fencing. The fencing will hold goats.
The well kept home is over 1,600 sq ft. It has 5 bedrooms and two bathrooms. One of these bedrooms was once used as a beauty shop and has its own entrance. So if you had a shop of some sort, this room would be perfect. The home is central heated and cooled. The kitchen has plenty of cabinets and a pantry. The stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher will convey with the sale. The kitchen and dining area adjoin, making for a nice open space. The well lit living area is right outside the dining area. All of the bedrooms are larger than normal with nice size closets. Ceiling fans are in most rooms. Just outside the home is an attached three car carport and covered patio. Off one of the bedrooms, which would also make a nice office, is a nice deck with railing and shade.
There is also a 900 sq ft one bedroom and one bath apartment/guest house near the home. One of the rooms is set up to be a kitchen. This building would also make a nice shop and storage area. There is a wood burning stove in one room and a window unit in the bedroom for cooling. Besides the apartment there is also water, electric, and sewer hook-ups for an RV.
While the house, apartment, and barns are on city water, the yard has its own water well for gardening and watering the grass. There is also a 65 foot deep water well near the creek that is at the edge of the coastal field that could be put back in to service for irrigating the field.
This property also has some great recreational value. If you like to hunt, white tail deer is plentiful on and crossing the property. It is also common to see turkey. This property is a dove hunters dream. The ponds are big enough to attract ducks. Maybe you would rather fish? The ponds have catfish, crappie, bass, and perch in them. Did you see the picture of the monster catfish that was pulled out of one of the ponds? You can also have some four wheeling fun on the elevation changes that are on the property.
