Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This unique property, originally designed for solitude and hunting, features rolling terrain, wet weather creeks, and a deep pond. A deeded easement of a 1/4 mile through US-owned forest land leads to the entrance. The terrain includes areas with elevation changes of approximately 80 feet. A winding wet weather creek enhances the property's beauty, along with a picturesque pond featuring a dock and natural springs. The property includes an Earthship, a rare find in Texas, designed by architects and engineers for comfortable, off-the-grid living. Built approximately 15 years ago, the Earthship retains its original features, including a rain catch system for water, solar panels and rechargeable batteries for electricity, insulation with green and repurposed materials, propane for the kitchen, and an atrium with established citrus trees fed by a gray water system. The water heater is solar and tankless. The Earthship is built into a berm for natural temperature control. The land is not in a flood plain, and no pipelines are present. Located 2 miles north of Ratcliff in Houston County, the property is approximately two hours from Houston, 1.5 hours from the Woodlands, and 30 minutes west of Lufkin. Electricity is available in more than one location for those not wanting to live off the grid.
