1774 COUNTY ROAD 3562, DIKE, TX 75437

This 42-acre wildlife retreat invites you to slow down and experience the rhythm of East Texas, with approximately 1.5 miles of pristine, well-maintained trails winding through a beautiful mix of woods and pocket prairies filled with native trees, wildflowers, and grasses. White Oak Creek meanders through the heart of the property, drawing in abundant wildlife, while towering hardwoods provide both shade and natural beauty. Here, you can trade the sounds of traffic for quiet mornings, birdsong, and the peaceful rhythm of nature. The land is designed to be enjoyed, with two bridges, one accommodating vehicles and side-by-sides and the other a footbridge for trail walkers, making access both functional and scenic. Wildlife is plentiful, with deer, hogs, coyotes, bobcats, squirrels, and birds regularly passing through. Hunting stands and feeders will convey, offering an ideal setup for deer season. A dedicated shooting range with a backstop and benches at 25 and 100 yards (stretching to 175 yards) is already in place. Tucked within the trees, a pristine campsite along the trail provides the perfect setting for evenings under the stars, complete with a picnic table, fire ring, and wood rack. Back at the home, the back patio becomes a front-row seat to watch wildlife at sunset. The well-maintained 3 bedroom 2 bath home features an open-concept design with tall ceilings, a large kitchen island, and a cozy living area with a wood-burning stove. High-speed fiber optic internet is available, blending modern convenience with peaceful country living. The property has been thoughtfully maintained for low upkeep, with easy-to-manage trails and yard space, while still offering privacy from the road. An ag exemption for wildlife management is in place keeping taxes low! Located just 20--25 minutes from Sulphur Springs and Mount Vernon, and approximately 80 miles from Dallas. This property offers a rare balance of convenience and escape!
