SUGAREE RANCH
SUGAREE RANCH - WEBPAGE
“Sugaree Ranch is one of the best ranch investment opportunities that I have ever represented in East Texas. It is an outstanding piece of real estate!
I am absolutely convinced of its versatility of use, as well as short and long-term value as a personal or commercial investment.
From its geographical position right off loop 7 and HWY 175 on the edge of Athens, just about an hour east from Dallas – to its private and exclusive access from inside the ranch property to the expanding Athens Municipal Airport and the three hanger lots which are slated to be incorporated with the sale, make for a one-of-a-kind exceptional amenity in having the added value and convenience of a private airport without the cost of ownership.
The ranch has amazing water features which include lakes, springs, wetlands, and live water. A section of the renowned coon creek runs through the property. Scenic topography, rich soil, and fertile pastures, along with woodlands scattered throughout rolling terrain add to the diverse and tranquil appeal of the ranch.
The multiple homesite possibilities for a single or shared ranch compound, or even a residential subdivision for an airport or golf community development provides options of a single holding and so much more. This ranch ticks all the boxes of solid inherent value, while providing exceptional recreation, hunting, and fishing with a distinctive Texas ranch lifestyle.”
