The Douglas
\nRanch sits on 18 \u00b1 acres just outside the City of Lindale in Smith County, and
\nit is for sale for the first time. This East Texas ranch brings together the
\nthings country buyers ask for most: fenced and cross-fenced improved pasture, a
\npond, a seasonal creek, a deep water well with rural water backup, road
\nfrontage on two county roads, a three-bedroom brick ranch home, a saltwater
\npool with a heated spa, and a large metal shop with room for the tractor, the
\ntrailer and the RV. The pasture is working land today, and the house is ready
\nto live in.<\/p>\n
The brick ranch
\nhome offers 2,042 square feet with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a
\nlayout built around the way families actually live in the country. The large
\nfamily room centers on a fireplace insert with a blower to take the chill off a
\nJanuary morning. A country kitchen opens to a breakfast room with a view of the
\npool, a formal dining room is ready for holidays and special gatherings, and a
\nprivate small office gives you a quiet place to run a business, pay the bills
\nor keep the ranch records.<\/p>\n
Out front, mature
\nLive Oaks shade the house, and a large Pine Tree stands tall in the yard. Board
\nrail fencing frames the space around the ranch house, keeping cattle at a
\ndistance while giving the homesite a clean, classic look from the county road.<\/p>\n
Step out the
\nback door onto the covered porch, and a stone patio leads you around the
\nin-ground gunite saltwater swimming pool with its waterfall feature. A custom
\nheated spa finishes the backyard, ready for a soak after a swim or after a day
\nof feeding cattle and ranching. Summer evenings in East Texas run long and
\nwarm, and this is where they will be spent: grandkids in the water, burgers on
\nthe grill and the pasture turning gold in the last light.<\/p>\n
The 36 x 60
\nmetal building gives a ranch owner ample working space. A 24 x 54 area is
\ndedicated to the shop, with room for a workbench, tools, and projects. The
\nbalance of the building handles equipment and tractor storage, with space for
\nan RV. Roll-up doors make it easy to pull a trailer in or back the tractor out,
\nand everything stays dry and out of the weather.<\/p>\n
The improved
\npasture is fenced and cross-fenced, so the land is set up to rotate grazing,
\nseparate a horse paddock from the cattle, or rest a section while another is in
\nuse. It is currently being used for cattle grazing under a lease to a local
\nrancher, so the land is producing right now. The pasture will easily
\naccommodate horses, with plenty of space to ride and roam. The pond waters
\nlivestock and draws wildlife to the property, and a seasonal creek runs through
\nthe acreage after East Texas rains. A new owner can continue the grazing lease,
\nrun a few head of their own, bring the horses home, or put up hay for winter.
\nThe ranch carries an agricultural exemption, which decreases property taxes.
\nBuyers should verify the exemption and its requirements with the Smith County
\nAppraisal District.<\/p>\n
Water security
\nmatters on any rural property, and the Douglas Ranch has it covered two ways. A
\n450-foot-deep water well drilled into the Wilcox Formation provides water for
\ndrinking, irrigation, and the swimming pool. With the turn of a valve, Lindale
\nRural Water Supply becomes the water source. That means potable water is always
\navailable, whether you are watering a garden, filling stock troughs, or topping
\noff the pool in August.<\/p>\n
Lindale is a
\ngrowing Smith County town of about 6,000 that still lives up to its motto of
\nGood Country Living. Once known as the fruit and berry center of Texas, the
\ntown has kept its roots while building a lively downtown around The Cannery
\ndistrict and Blackberry Square, where Picker’s Pavilion hosts concerts, the
\nPiney Woods Wine Festival and Christmas in Lindale.<\/p>\n
The Lindale
\nArea Chamber of Commerce has hosted CountryFest every October since the 1980s,
\nand the free Old Mill Pond Museum shows a century of local history across 14
\nbuildings on a 20-plus-acre site.<\/p>\n
Families are
\nserved by Lindale ISD. Just down the road, Tyler State Park offers a 64-acre
\nspring-fed lake and about 13 miles of trails under tall pines, and the Mineola
\nNature Preserve spans 2,911 acres along the Sabine River with walking, biking
\nand award-winning equestrian trails, a natural fit for owners who keep horses.<\/p>\n
Location is one
\nof the strongest selling points of this ranch. The property sits minutes from
\nInterstate 20 and US Highway 69, so groceries, feed stores, schools and church
\nare a short drive away, while the ranch itself stays quiet and private. Tyler
\nprovides regional medical care, shopping and dining in under half an hour, and
\nthe Dallas metroplex is close enough for a day trip or a weekday commute when
\nneeded. Drive times below were calculated from the property address using
\nGoogle Maps.<\/p>\n
