Property Description
Lake Fork Ranch
Wood County
316.5 +/- acres (187.546 +/- acres deeded & 129.04 +/- acres leased from the Sabine River Authority)
DESCRIPTION:
Experience the wonder of the outdoors, world-class fishing, outstanding hunting, and luxury living all in one location, just a quick drive from the DFW metroplex! Only 90 miles East of Dallas lies one of the most unique ranch offerings available in the entire state of Texas. Properties like the Lake Fork Ranch just don't come around often. There are not many places where you can hunt trophy-sized white-tailed bucks and back your fishing boat into the water from your own boat ramp to catch ShareLunker bass on the same day! Lake Fork has been applauded and recognized as the crown jewel of Texas Largemouth Bass fishing for decades, and rightfully so. Top-of-the-line improvements with over 1 mile of lake frontage on the premier bass fishing lake in Texas make this a homerun property.
The Lake Fork Ranch boasts incredible improvements, including a massive 150 ft long boat dock with Trex decking, an 80 ft boat ramp, a barndominium, a pool, and a stunning newly constructed 6,000 SQFT lodge with a myriad of custom features. When you think turnkey, think Lake Fork Ranch!
LAND:
Lake Fork Ranch comprises 316.5 +/- acres (187.546 +/- deeded acres and 129.04 +/- acres leased from the Sabine River Authority, which governs the lake levels.) With over 1 mile of shoreline, you'll have plenty of privacy on your side of the lake!
Water is provided by Bright Star-Salem Special Utility District.
A beautiful mix of native grasses, mature hardwood trees, and 14 acres of active-year around food plots allow for an ideal habitat for flourishing cattle and wildlife populations. Along with food plots, various protein feeders are strategically placed throughout the ranch to supplement the greens. The combination of greens and protein is a significant reason this ranch produces a healthy population of deer.
The Lake Fork Ranch is bordered by large acreage to the North owned by the Sabine River Authority, which draws in tons of wildlife. In our opinion, the Lake Fork ranch hunts much larger than its actual acreage because of the wildlife coming from the adjoining SRA acreage to the North.
There are six new gates, two new cattle guards, 4,000 +/- SQFT of new barbed wire fencing, and all fence lines have cleared.
BOAT DOCK / BOAT RAMP:
The boat ramp on Lake Fork Ranch is 80ft long with an 80 ft circle turn around, all made of concrete.
Next to the ramp sits a 150 ft long boat dock complete with two boat slips with lifts, a closet for storage, a sink, and topped completely with industry-leading Trex decking.
LODGE:
A newly constructed 6,000 SQFT lodge is complete with a myriad of custom features and is set in the perfect location with bi-fold windows allowing lake views out of every room on the east side of the home. You will not be lacking for space with four large bedrooms, four full baths, two half baths, a living room, trophy room, dining room, an upstairs entertainment area, a study, two laundry rooms, and an enclosed porch area. The wood and stonework throughout is genuinely jaw-dropping. Stunning hickory wood floors in every room, while massive cedar beams stretch high above in the living, trophy, study, and dining rooms. Ceilings are complete with pine, cedar, and walnut tongue/grooves, while window casing, trim, doors, base, crown, and even kitchen cabinets are made of knotty alder.
Each bedroom has a full bath and walk-in/built-ins in all bedroom closets.
The lodge boasts the kind of kitchen your dreams are made of! With a 48" Gas cooktop, Copper vent hood, Thermador appliances with a double oven, an Ice maker, microwave drawer, dishwasher, 36-inch freezer, and a 36-inch refrigerator, you will lack nothing!
You could use this lodge for many purposes, whether as a primary or secondary residence, high-end fishing lodge, wedding venue, parties, reunions, and any other social events!
The home is complete with three floor-to-ceiling gas log stone fireplaces and one wood-burning stone fireplace. Another neat feature of the lodge is a dehumidifying system that manages humidity levels throughout the home.
Open up the bifold doors and step into the breeze as you stroll under the awning of the back patio. Take a dip in the pool equipped with a chiller/heater for year-round swims while jamming your favorite tunes over the surround sound system. You can even grill up a ribeye in the outdoor kitchen!
The lodge's exterior includes a 64 kw backup generator, security camera system, and an irrigation/drainage system (being installed currently.)
BARNDOMINIUM:
Just a hundred yards west of the lodge sits the metal framed barndomium with a bedroom, full bath, kitchen, and a stackable washer/dryer connection.
The barndominium has spray foam insulation and would make for a perfect mother-in-law suite.
The entire west side of the barndominium is drive-through boat storage, making it extremely easy to pull the boat in and out.
