> Price:.... $92,000.00
> Size:..... 18 Acres
> City:..... Willis
> State:.... Texas
> County:... San Jacinto
>
> Property Description:
> located northeast of Conroe out Airport road to cedar lane to County line
> rd, turn right for approx. 31/2 miles to Boggycreek.
> From Conroe it is about 16 miles of a pleasant country drive out
> past the airport and fairgrounds. 18 acres, configured as a
> triangle, 960x1410x275x1225, straddling a creek that is
> spring fed, has never run dry in known history, and is
> especially widened out as it crosses my property. This gives
> you about 4 acres of wetlands, which before the surrounding
> area built out in 10 acre parcels was home to a chorus of
> frogs and wood ducks. With fencing to keep out the
> neighbors dogs I think they may come back.
> Ive had it for 8 years and its paid for. There has been no
> toxic burning or dumping in that time or before as far as I can
> tell. Before that the land was undeveloped except for the
> general pine logging that occured throughout this area in the
> 20s. It was logged again about 3 years before I moved on in
> 96, as best I can guess. Its coming back a lot faster now as
> far as topsoil buildup and there is a great variety of trees ,
> shrubs and herbs.
> I have built a small cabin on the property that is unique and
> fairly appealing but is unfinished. It is 16x32 with vaulted cieling from
> 10 to 12
> feet. The front door opens from center end off of an 8x16
> front porch of antique oak 2x4s from the sante fe railroad
> cattle cars. The back wall, opposite the front door, 32 away,
> is an array of 7 tall windows. The two side walls are also
> mostly in windows, except for the bathroom on the left, where
> the window is higher up, and the wall to the right which is
> taken up by the bookshelf/desk and the closet. The view is
> out the back into the woods with a small 10 pond near the
> edge. It is a young forest with the pines beginning to
> challenge the balance of hardwoods like oak and elm, bay,
> holly and youpon. I once toured the property with a botanist
> guy, a real native plant person, and he was amazed at the
> variety of everything. I ran into a specimen of devils walking
> stick once when I was lost. Thats one of the valuable things
> about this property. Even if it is only 18 acres, there is still a
> feeling of privacy and woodsiness that can get you lost a little
> at first.
> Another good thing is the county its in. San Jacinto is a poor county ,
> which means your property taxes are only about
> 165/yr. The residents petitioned to be included in the
> Montgomery county school district however and the taxes run
> about 300/yr.
> The water system is not potable. It is from the creek. There is
> a springfed, natural pond on the other side of the creek, a
> 120 long foot bridge away. It is seemingly very clean. Ive
> never had it tested but I think it is, except for bacteria count
> that is normal for a forest creekbed..
> The roof is two layers of metal with the outside layer a good
> quality, stylish product, the inside layer is recycled
> corrugated. There is an extra set of runners in between. the
> eves extend out 44 all down the sides, and 4 past the front
> and the back.
> The exterior is bare o.s.b. or wafer board. It is a composite of
> epoxy and wood chips. the interior is also o.s.b. and they are
> nailed 6o.c. and they are strong. The windows are framed in
> 2x10s, yellow pine.
>
> All the neighbors are good, quiet, country people.
>
> The slope is very good, not steep but strong runoff down to
> the creek, about a foot every 20ft. There is no chance of
> flooding within 425ft. of the homesite, at least. The creek is
> about 450 away down the drive and then foot path. Even
> when we had ove 6 inches in a short time I went down there
> while it was still coming down strong and the creek had only
> risen about 31/2. This allows you to live
> close to a wetlands habitat without mosquito or water
> problems. The area around the house is about 17ft above the
> creek, maybe more. I have seen owls and big gray herons,
> hawks,
> turkeybuzzards and crow. Some deer and lots of possum,
> coon and rabbit. I am working on improving the cabin and
> gardens right now especially because I have decided to sell
> and I want it to be as good as possible. Its really the kind of
> land for a nature lover. Not someone who wants to bulldoze
> and plant pasture. There are more than enough tracts like
> that already. This is an important part of the watershed in this
> region and a remaining remnant of a wetlands habitat that
> courses through the nearby Sam Houston National Forest.
> There is already a rich variety of plant species but I would
> suggest that whoever buys this property continue as I have in
> planting native plants that provide important habitat to
> insects, birds, etc. Call John (936) 203-0090 , 936 767 4119
