About this home

Welcome to Creekside Reserve, a rare blend of natural beauty, refined living, and wide-open freedom just northeast of Palmer. Set along the quiet bends of Grove Creek, this 159-acre ranch offers rolling pastures, mature pecans and oaks, shaded creek bottoms, and abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, herons, and seasonal monarch butterflies. The land feels alive, peaceful, and timeless. At the heart of the property sits a thoughtfully curated 3-bedroom, 3-bath main residence blending character and modern comfort. Antique doors reclaimed from a historic NYC hotel set a warm, storied tone, while light-filled living spaces, a stone fireplace, and screened porches invite slow mornings and relaxed evenings. Just outside, a heated saltwater pool and hot tub elevate everyday living into something truly special. Creekside Reserve also functions as a part-time B&B with minimal marketing, offering immediate income potential. The land is exceptionally well-equipped with mixed pasture and woods, creek frontage, three tanks, two historic hand-dug wells, working cattle pens, cross fencing, a former horse barn with loft, and productive coastal Bermuda hay fields. Whether for livestock, equestrian use, recreation, or quiet enjoyment, the possibilities are endless. Two prepared build sites add flexibility—one with underground power, two water taps, a Generac backup system, privacy wall, additional pool, and 50-AMP RV hookups; the other perched on a rise with sweeping ranch views. Additional features include a gated entrance, whole-home generator, storm shelter accessible from the primary suite, propane tanks, and reliable utilities. Conveniently located on FM 813 with easy access to nearby towns and highways, Creekside Reserve feels worlds away while remaining well connected. This is more than a property—it’s a place to gather, restore, and create a life defined by space, comfort, and possibility.
