About this home

Beautiful 5-acre property with private access to Navarro Mills Lake and adjoining U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land. The lake is less than 100 yards from the existing house, offering a rare combination of acreage, privacy, and direct access to the water. Navarro Mills Lake offers great fishing, boating, and outdoor recreation with a much quieter atmosphere than the heavily trafficked lakes around the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The shoreline near the property has a gradual slope into the water, making it especially enjoyable for swimming, wading, and summer fun with family and friends.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the adjoining Corps of Engineers land also provides access to solid hunting opportunities in the area, including deer, hogs, dove, and ducks, subject to applicable Corps rules, seasons, and regulations. The existing home was used as a vacation property and is currently in poor condition. It could potentially be remodeled, or a buyer may choose to remove the structure and start fresh. A recent estimate for demolition and removal was approximately $8,000. The existing house sits on a 30' x 60' concrete slab, and water, electricity, and septic are already in place. That gives a buyer a strong starting point for a new home, shop, barndominium, or other future use. There is also a better potential homesite near the top of the hill with an elevated view overlooking Navarro Mills Lake. A survey was completed within the last 10 years. Fiber-optic internet is currently being installed in the area and is expected to be available soon. Located in Dawson ISD. The setting is peaceful and scenic, with plenty of room to create something special. If you are looking for 5 acres with private access to Navarro Mills Lake, adjoining Corps land, existing utilities, room to build, excellent fishing, swimming, hunting opportunities, and a quiet country setting without the congestion of the major DFW lakes, this is a unique opportunity.
