Enjoy a secluded and very private retreat with no neighbors in sight, yet 10 minutes from Princeton or 15 minutes from Allen. This gorgeous home offers direct access to Lavon Lake–bring your own boat, fishing, jet skis, or kayak for fun on the water (boat/trailer parking is available). Or explore the property trails that are ideal for hiking, dirt biking, and ATVing.
This unique ranch hideaway offers a one-of-a-kind experience with access to a seasonal vegetable garden and petting zoo. Livestock on-site includes geese, chickens, ducks, goats, and cattle.
Beautifully designed, this home features high ceilings, wood floors, and exposed beams. Unwind in the open living area and watch shows on the 75-inch LCD smart TV. An electric fireplace in the primary suite adds a cozy touch.
Find everything you need to prepare delicious recipes in the sleek modern kitchen. When you’re ready to eat, wall-to-wall windows in the dining area create a sun-kissed spot to enjoy meals together.
Outside, find multiple decks that are perfect for entertaining, including a covered deck.
