Nestled in the vast expanse of East Texas's countryside just outside of Athens Texas, this sprawling 70-acre farm exemplifies the tranquil and enchanting allure of nature. The landscape of the farm is adorned with serene ponds, and these natural water features are complemented by five wells, ensuring a reliable water supply for the land. Additionally, the property boasts seven power meters and several existing septic systems, making it primed for new ideas, whether for a homestead or any other agricultural ventures. The farm's extensive land, stunning vistas, and convenient proximity to nearby towns and cities create endless possibilities, whether for expanding the orchard, constructing a dream home, or subdividing the land. Scattered across the property are several outbuildings and processing areas, along with a charming 1970s home that spans 2,393 square feet, although it is given no value. This home requires substantial repairs or removal, but it offers a unique opportunity to embrace a sustainable lifestyle, reconnect with nature, and transform dreams of rural living into reality. The current owner, who is retiring, has been operating a blueberry farm business on this fertile land, which has proven capable of growing a variety of crops over the years. The seller needs to sell, allowing the new buyer the option to either continue the blueberry operation for a steady income or remove the bushes to pursue other agricultural endeavors. Notably, the orchard's mature blueberry bushes, ready for harvest from late May through July, are a paradise for fruit enthusiasts. The farm welcomes the public for a pick-your-own experience, enabling visitors to enjoy the harvest while commercial operations thrive. This hidden treasure of East Texas is perfect for an entrepreneur eager to expand their venture. Over the years, the farm's income has ranged from $125,000 to $240,000 annually, depending on weather conditions and labor availability.
