Athens, Texas, June 4, Once upon a time, wealthy families owned vast tracts of ranch land across Texas, but those days are coming to an end. Now one of those ranches, which consisted of 2,150 acres of rolling green hills surrounding a 328-acre, crystal clear lake is now to be sold in 1-5 acre, low-density parcels. The ranch, which has been renamed Scenic Ridge at Water’s Edge Ranch, offers homesites with dockable lakefront, lake access and lake views within a gated community, where once only a single family had access to this beautiful site. Under its previous owners, the ranch was a wildlife and fishing paradise, now the site has been enhanced with a wildlife preserve containing zebra and elk, horseback riding trails, and fish specially tended by a biologist in the natural lake. Football Hall of Famer Randy White has endorsed the property, especially the private lake where, he states, “I’ve caught more big fish here than anywhere else.”
Each lakefront parcel allows for a private boat dock and all property owners enjoy access to boat slips and community boats. All property owners also gain access to a covered horseback riding arena as well as the 25 miles of riding trails that run around the property. Most unique of all is the extraordinary wildlife preserve where zebra and elk roam free in a safe natural environment. There is also a private park with an outdoor pavilion, a resort style pool, and a small community marina.
In preparation for the grand opening of Scenic Ridge, Water’s Edge Ranch/Texas Land & Lakes is offering a $15,000 discount and no closing costs to those who attend the event on June 28th & 29th. “I would like you to come down here, stand where I am standing and see what I see, and see if you don’t fall in love with Scenic Ridge,” says Heath Askew. The event will be held at Scenic Ridge located on Highway 175 in Athens. Special guests at the event will include Football Hall of Famer Randy White and Jimmy Neutron, from the Nickolodeon cartoon The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron from 2-4pm.
