This stunning 572-acre Ranch nestled in the heart of East Texas offers breathtaking views, unspoiled expanses of rolling hills, trees & green pastures w/impressive elevation changes that the locals call Little Italy. Elk Lake Ranch is situated in a prime location midway between Dallas & Shreveport, just 15 minutes from the excellent city amenities offered in Tyler. The ranch currently generates income from two leased ag operations (a 95-acre Tifton 85 Bermuda grass hay operation supported by a 10,000 sq. ft. hay barn, & a 4-acre blueberry operation.) These leases can be assumed by a new owner. Multiple springs, including one producing about 60 gal/min, plus 2 deep water wells, each capable of producing 200+ gal/min, are part of the extensive infrastructure that includes a high-tech irrigation system & miles of underground water lines, providing unlimited water for hay & blueberry operations during dry weather as well as supplying nine livestock water tanks across the ranch. About 10 miles of fencing & cross fencing are in place, & all pastures & hay meadows are in excellent condition. Two gorgeous clear spring-fed lakes, one deep water 10-acre lake & another 3-acre lake near the Lodge, provide excellent bass & crappie fishing. A 200+ acre natural wildlife preserve under high fence provides lush savannahs & excellent habitat for the thriving white tail deer & elk herds. A gated entry & tree-lined lane welcome you to The Lodge at Elk Lake, with 5,015 sq. ft. refined living space, a Great Room w/vaulted beam ceiling & impressive stone WBFP, kitchen & dining, 4 bedrooms & 5 baths, & a jaw-dropping master bedroom suite!
