Summary: This unique river property has been meticulously cared for and designed to accentuate the property's features. A showcase of 'live water', the land is framed by the clear waters of the Brazos River to the south and spring-fed Iron Creek to the east. The playland is poised for family fun, events and large gatherings. Perched on adjacent corners of the bluff are two exquisite homes with all the modern amenities yet nostalgic enough to capture the ranch and riverfront lifestyle. Shaded by old growth pecan trees and located between the two houses is a fully fenced and professionally constructed pickleball court. Within walking distance is an conference center/entertainment venue awaiting your large groups, corporate or wedding events, family fun, laughter, and maybe even some off pitch late night singing on the karaoke sound system. Closer to the river's edge, and a short walk down the cascading walkway is an air-conditioned Teepee! A firepit adorns the center of the teepee for those cooler nights under the central Texas stars. This legacy asset is set to entertain parties of all sizes with something for everyone. Brazos River & Iron Creek: What a collection of live water! Properties with live water are becoming increasingly harder to find, and not only does Pecan Bluff offer 736' of highly sought after Brazos River frontage, but also a quarter mile of frontage along scenic Iron Creek, a spring-fed tributary of the Brazos River. These flowing streams offer outstanding recreational opportunities for fishing, swimming, kayaking/canoeing, or simply sitting in the shade of one of the many large pecan trees and listening to the water as it ripples by. Structural Improvements: The River House, completely renovated in 2015, is a beautifully crafted and decorated 2,580 square foot home with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, perched on a bluff overlooking the river and river bottom area. No expense was spared on the interior finishes or décor, with a warm and inviting feel. Perfect for entertaining both indoors and out, a large multi-level deck on the back of the river house offers numerous unique sitting areas and gathering spots to take in the sights and sounds of the river. Light the pit and warm up the hot tub for those cool, starlit nights, or better yet, step inside a large custom canvas teepee where both young and old can find their inner child by gathering inside and sharing stories from the past. The Creek House, as you might have guessed, was constructed in 2015 on a bluff that overlooks Iron Creek. This 2,649 square foot, 3 bed and 2.5 bath home offers elegant finishes and spacious comfort for those who lodge here. Once again, no expense has been spared, nor detail overlooked in creating this sanctuary in the country. Outside, you'll find a large swimming pool, a rock-lined hot tub, an outdoor kitchen, and plenty of patio space for entertaining family and friends at your private retreat. Vacation Rental Income Potential: Both the River House and Creek House have generated significant income as vacation rentals. Their prime location, luxurious amenities, and unique charm make them highly sought-after by vacationers seeking an unforgettable experience along the Brazos River. This established income stream provides a compelling financial benefit, enhancing the property's appeal as both a lifestyle asset and an investment opportunity. Should the new owner wish to explore the rental income potential further, additional details can be made available upon request.
