Welcome to the Richland Chambers Area

This is our 7th edition of The Navigator and we at the Richland Chambers Area Progress remain proud and excited with the reception this annual magazine has received. The Navigator continues to be a “one-of-a-kind” area resource for known events that are scheduled to take place in Navarro, Freestone, Henderson, and Anderson Counties, as well as the cities of Ennis and Kerens. These calendars of events involve extensive research and our comprehensive listings include a variety of activities that are scheduled to take place from the time of The Navigator’s publication through the remainder of the calendar year, and in some cases into the following year. There is something for everyone in The Navigator. We include festivals, plays and productions, concerts, art exhibits, fishing tournaments, Motorplex activities, fundraisers, parades, horse shows, rodeos, car shows and so much more. The lake area and surrounding communities are rich in activities for individuals, couples, families or groups of friends to do. Annual events include the Dogwood Trails, Derrick Days, a Bluebonnet Festival, the National Polka Festival, two outstanding Air Shows, the Red Brick Classic Car Show, Fairfield’s Show of Wheels,

a Hot Pepper Chili Festival, the Kerens Cotton Harvest Festival and the Freestone County Fair. Richland Chambers Reservoir is the third largest inland lake and the largest sailing basin within the State of Texas, encompassing 44,752 acres in size and boasting 330 miles of shoreline. Although a shortage of rainfall had temporarily lowered the water level, recent rains have returned lake levels to full pool and Richland Chambers Lake continues to be an excellent source for fishing and recreational sports. Richland Chambers Reservoir is known for its exceptional fishing and sponsored tournaments frequently take place. The lake offers an abundance of catfish, white bass, hybrid striped bass and bluegill, and it is popular with competitive anglers in pursuit of largemouth bass. Most local marinas now offer boat launches, food, gas, fishing/convenience items and a few even offer R/V Hookups, lodging, boat slips and boat rental. There are also several public boat ramps that also afford access to the lake. For those unfamiliar with the lake or without access to a boat, there are several fishing guides that offer full and half-day charters; the lake has some of the best! The Richland Chambers

Lake area and surrounding communities offer a variety of social and cultural activities, with heavy emphasis on the arts. Several state parks are an easy drive away and most offer educational programs, camping facilities, and hiking, biking and nature trails. Those who enjoy community involvement will find many avenues through which they can volunteer. Facilities to compete in sanctioned shooting sports are just a short distance away and avid hunters will find local opportunities to pursue dove, ducks, deer, wild boar and upland game. The area offers something for everyone and even golf enthusiasts will find several challenging courses nearby. Residents and visitors are able to enjoy a good choice of eating establishments, including lakeside dining at The Harbor Restaurant, Fisherman’s Point Marina’s Lighthouse Cafe, and Sunset Cove Marina Café. Meals can also be enjoyed at Oak Cove Marina and Pelican Grill. Grocery items can now be purchased at the newly renovated RC Lakeside Store. More and more people are discovering the area and sales of lots and existing homes are on the upswing, as is construction of new homes. Local real estate

companies are reporting the lowest inventories for waterfront home listings in many years and 330 waterfront lots have sold within the last few years. Sales of off-water property are also on the rise. Julie Teel (RE/MAX LakeSide Dreams) has revealed, “Reflecting on 15 years of Market data for Richland Chambers Lake Property, we have survived market meltdowns, droughts and recessions. And we have also thrived in a growing and budding community and have seen changes in the lake area landscape with several new businesses and developments popping up here and there around the lake. “The three main takeaways are: • Waterfront home market has been improving in recent years. • Waterfront lot market is on the same trend. • Inventories are falling and prices are rising. “There have been many changes but the one thing that remains constant when looking at historical data is that the market always rebounds. Interest rates are predicted to remain stable in 2020 and with that, the market will continue to improve this year. “We began seeing an improvement in the lake market beginning in 2015 which also

Richland Chambers Area Progress

coincides with the increase in average lake level numbers. During that time, our average sales price around the lake increased from $387,500 to $479,999. The average price per square foot has increased by 20 percent. “Inventories have declined in that time period, which have caused prices to increase. There are currently 16 waterfront homes active in our Lake market; we will see new listings hit this spring and that number will increase as we go into the active season. “Absorption rates, which is the number of homes flowing through the market in a given price range, are at a record high at the under 500K range indicating it is a seller’s market. “In viewing the Richland Chambers lake lot market trends, the trends are consistent with the lake home market trends. There are currently 145 waterfront lots on the market. There were 350 waterfront lots for sale in Jan of 2015. As you can see, we have moved quite a bit of waterfront dirt in the last few years. The average sales price for a waterfront lot in 2015 was $52,587. In 2019, it was $76,899. The absorption rates are trending higher than in previous years but the inventories are still adequate to prevent huge increases in lot values at the present. The future of the lake lot market will depend on the influx number of future developments and lot availability. “Overall, this is great news for our Lake Community. We are looking forward to an active Lake Market in 2020 and helping families make their waterfront dreams a reality as well as transitioning sellers to the next step for them. Since most of our sellers are folks that have either retired here or had second homes for an escape, the average time at the lake is 10 to 12 years for a family before transitioning away from the lake to get closer to medical or family members. Our goal is to make that transition as easy as possible.” Richland Chambers Reservoir is conveniently located for anyone seeking a weekend or retirement home! The lake is centrally positioned south of the DFW Metroplex, north of Houston and

east of Austin, providing just a “few-hours” commute from all directions. The RC Lake area has over 50 lakefront subdivisions, affording newcomers a good selection of waterfront and offwater lots, as well as a few “spec” and existing homes. Communities have been developed according to strict standards and waterfront homes are permitted to have boathouses and piers. Those who have moved to the area relish the peace and tranquility, as well as the friendly people they have met. Because Richland Chambers Reservoir is still a young lake with a very large shoreline and controlled development, boat traffic on the lake has remained low. Those of us who live there consider it to be our “hidden jewel” in Texas. The sunsets can be spectacular and the skies are frequently adorned with flocks of seagulls, pelicans, cormorants, & domestic mallards. There are even sightings of bald eagles, crested caracara and an occasional osprey. While driving our country roads, you might also spot an elusive roadrunner, a scissor-tailed flycatcher or a vividly colored painted bunting, along with a myriad of other birds. If you like to fish, sail, swim, water ski or are simply seeking a beautiful place to unwind and relax, Richland Chambers is the lake for you. Whether you are seeking a lot to construct your own home or desire to purchase an existing home – whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a place to live full time – you will find that the Richland Chambers Lake area is a wonderful place to relax, enjoy a bevy of lake and cultural activities, watch some spectacular sunsets, enjoy some fine lakeside dining, and interact with some of the friendliest people in the Lone Star State. This area is steeped in history and we have no doubt that you will find plenty of things to see and do. Whether you are long-time residents or just visiting this area, we hope you will enjoy the latest edition of The Navigator and find the information useful as you plan your calendars for the coming year.

The Richland Chambers Area Progess

The Navigator magazine is an annual publication, courtesy of the Richland Chambers Area Progress. Now in its 10th year, the Richland Chambers Area Progress is a local newspaper that has been revitalized through the ownership of local resident, Jennifer Bynum. This biweekly newspaper continues to garner a lot of attention and respect. Present circulation encompasses three counties; Freestone, Navarro and Henderson. The Richland Chambers Area Progress is handdelivered to businesses in the Richland Chambers Lake area, as well as Corsicana, Powell, Kerens, Trinidad, Malakoff, Athens, Mabank, Gun Barrel City, Cedar Creek, Richland, Streetman, Fairfield, Wortham, Teague, Mexia and outlying areas. The paper’s emphasis is on Richland Chambers Reservoir and the surrounding area. The RCA Progress features a variety of information. We are putting a lot of focus into bringing our readers information about area businesses, local history and upcoming events. Each issue includes a feature story on

“neighbors” in the area, current fishing reports/advice from popular guides, and a wealth of other tips and useful information. We publish 26 editions each year, with a new publication circulated every other Friday. We presently circulate 5,000 copies of each publication and expect current volumes to grow. If you are visitors, new residents to the area, or long-time residents who have never read the RCA Progress, we encourage you to get a copy and check us out. Our information is useful to all.
