Overview
Description
Follow the gravel drive beneath mature pecan trees to this approximately 17.6-acre pecan farm in Leonard, Texas. Start with coffee under the trees, then set out to see where the orchard gives way to the wooded banks of the South Sulphur River. Pawnee, Cheyenne, Choctaw and Stuart pecans grow alongside a few fruit trees, offering deep shade in summer and golden color in fall. Cast a line from the dock at the stocked pond, or explore the rocky riverbed when the water is low. The river borders the property and flows intermittently here. Take your time by the water and you might catch sight of deer coming down to the pond, ducks and geese settling in, or even a bald eagle overhead. The owners have spotted all of them here, along with hummingbirds and other woodland visitors. In the 3-bedroom, 2-bath main home, wide living room windows frame the orchard, a wood-burning stove gives you a place to settle in on cool evenings. The home is livable in its current condition, with foundation and other items to be addressed, as well as room for design updates throughout to suit your personal preferences. Across the drive, the partially renovated 1-bedroom guest cottage connects to a spacious 25 x 24 covered garage and work area with a gravel floor. Finish the cottage for guests, multigenerational living, a home business or potential short- or long-term rental use, subject to applicable requirements. A separate covered equipment shelter sits on a concrete pad. The land currently has agricultural valuation for the pecan orchard. Less than a mile from TX-78 and about 3 miles from Leonard, you're close to local shops, dining and the museum on the historic square. From Leonard, Bonham, Melissa and Greenville are roughly 17 to 23 miles away, with Sherman and McKinney about 30 to 35 miles away. Come walk the orchard, listen for birdsong and linger by the pond. If you've been searching for a quieter place to put down roots, give yourself time to explore this one.
