Camp Wood, TX 78833(Real County)

If you're looking for a place where it's peaceful and quite, close to being off the grid and offers privacy, yet near small town amenities, this is your place! About 12 miles from Leakey and 8 miles from Camp Wood. Lovely gated community with few permanent residents on approximately 700 acre Ranch! The house is located in a quiet area where usually the only traffic is from occasional owners or guest on ATV's out to enjoy the views. The house is 1200 square ft, 1 dedicated bed room, a large living room, dining room, kitchen, 2 bathrooms and one large room that can serve many functions: an extension for large appliances rom the kitchen, like freezer, refrigerator, washing machine or a divided area for another bedroom or office/computer space for a couple. Lots of thought went into the planning of this home to make it truly off the grid. Water system is rainwater harvesting consisting of a 1200 gallon catch tank, a 1500 gallon house tank and a 3000 gallon storage tank if the area is hit with a severe drought. The roof is metal and gutters run the entire length front and back of the house catching the rain. The house is prepared to keep you fed and comfortable if electricity is off, as sometimes happens in this remote area. The stove works on propane and each room is equipped with propane outlets and some heaters will be included with the house. The owner also kept candles and old fashioned lamps on stand by. The water system is set up with a marine battery and a RV pump so water is always available.

The two bathrooms are equipped with composting toilets. Both bathrooms have showers and sinks. The back deck runs the entire length of the house and is an enjoyable place to have your morning coffee with a wide expansive view that goes for miles and miles. Plans were to install a solar system at a later date, which would make the house 100% off the grid. There are a few common areas where owners and their guest can swim in one of the best natural swimming holes in Texas along with picnic areas restrooms and a large lake for fishing or canoeing. There are hiking trails leading up to the spring that fills the swimming hole as well as the lake before meandering on to supply the city of Camp Wood with some of their water we're told the spring has never run dry. $200,000.00
