Description

Location
Purtis Creek Ranch is ideally situated in East Texas, offering peaceful seclusion while remaining conveniently close to town. The property is just 12 miles from Eustace, 15 miles from Canton,
and 19 miles from Athens, each offering shopping, dining, and local events. Best of all, the ranch is only about an hour from Dallas, making it an easy weekend retreat or even a full-time residence for those looking to escape the city without going off the grid.

The Land
Spanning approximately 115+/- acres, the ranch offers a diverse mix of open pastureland and
mature hardwoods, creating excellent habitat for both wildlife and livestock. There are three
ponds, with the two larger ones stocked with bass and catfish, and a fish feeder on the house
pond ensures an active fishing experience. The property supports deer, hogs, and possibly
ducks, making it a great place for hunting and wildlife watching. While the internal road system
could use some maintenance and mowing, it provides basic access throughout the property.

The House
The main home is a comfortable and well-maintained 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom residence,
recently updated with fresh paint and refinished floors just two years ago. The layout includes 1
bedroom and 1 bathroom upstairs, along with a spacious game room or second living area.
Downstairs features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with two closets in each bedroom. A private
pool just outside the home offers the perfect place to relax and cool off during warmer months,
and a two-car covered parking area adds practicality and convenience.

Other Improvements
The ranch boasts an exceptional collection of improvements that combine practicality,
recreation, and rustic charm. Overlooking the pond, a covered dock invites quiet mornings with
a fishing pole or peaceful evenings watching the sunset. The 4-stall horse barn, complete with a
tack room and workshop, is perfectly suited for equestrian pursuits or versatile storage, while a
built-in chicken coop adds the charm—and reward—of fresh, farm-raised eggs. A flourishing
garden and orchard of 20 fruit trees, including apple, avocado, and peach, offer seasonal
abundance right outside your door. For fun and adventure, a tree house stands ready to delight
children and grandchildren alike, and a private shooting range provides a dedicated space for
target practice. Two hog traps and a corn feeder are also included, supporting effective land and
wildlife management, ensuring the property remains as functional as it is inviting.

Town of Eustace
Eustace, Texas, is a small, welcoming town with a rich East Texas heritage and a close-knit
community. Located just about five miles from the shores of Cedar Creek Lake—the fourth
largest lake in Texas—it offers quick access to outstanding fishing, boating, and water
recreation. The town serves as a charming gateway to nearby attractions such as Purtis Creek
State Park, Splash Kingdom Waterpark, and Tara Vineyard & Winery, all within a short drive.
Despite its modest size, Eustace is home to the Eustace Independent School District and
embraces a relaxed, rural lifestyle while remaining connected to larger towns and amenities,
making it a peaceful yet well-situated place to live or visit.

Summary
Purtis Creek Ranch is a rare and well-rounded East Texas offering—equal parts private escape,
functional homestead, and recreational playground. Whether you're fishing in the stocked
ponds, riding horses, hunting game, or simply enjoying a quiet evening by the water, this
property is built to accommodate a rich outdoor lifestyle. With a balance of comfort, charm, and
untapped potential, Purtis Creek Ranch is the kind of place where memories are made.
