Tucked away on the outskirts of the small North Texas town of Saint Jo, hides a very unique overnight get away that is sure to impress the most adventure seeking enthusiasts. Nestled amongst the trees sits All Is Well Resort, a breath taking 65 acre escape from reality owned by Howard and Cinda Smith. The Smith’s bought the 65 acre barren property three years ago and have spent countless hours creating and making it what it is today. Howard, a retired software developer, bought the property during the pandemic with no real plan in place other than to have a legacy property they could leave to their three children and seven grandchildren. When he started looking for property to buy, he had never really thought about Saint Jo until a friend of his mentioned it to him. The friend told him he needed to look at land in the North Texas hill country and Howard, living in Dallas, was not sure what he was talking about until he and Cinda took a drive out to the area to do some exploring. The Smith’s have driven through Saint Jo numerous times over the last 45 years while traveling to Wichita Falls (where Cinda is originally from) to visit her father, but never ventured far off Highway 82. Once they drove down Highway 677, they instantly knew they had found the area they would buy land in and started actively looking and came upon this beautiful property. All it took for Howard to decide on this property was the view of the amazing creek that runs through it.
