Whether you’re envisioning a sprawling single-family estate, a thoughtfully planned residential development, or a private retreat for outdoor recreation, this property delivers the setting and the potential. The lake, created with a water retention berm and now supported by a newly installed overflow pipe, dramatically reduces the need for a floodplain designation—making development and long-term planning easier. Picture horses grazing in the distance, birds sweeping across the water, and sunsets that make every evening feel like a painting. A gated private entrance guides you past a charming former milk barn, now transformed into a rustic cabin full of character. Currently enjoyed as a recreational haven for hunting and fishing—the lake is fully stocked with bass—this property is clean, cleared, and ready to bring your dream to life. Highlights: 77 acres of gently rolling pasture
17-acre private lake with flood mitigation infrastructure Rustic cabin with original milk barn charm Gated entrance with private drive Ideal for residential development, family compound, equestrian estate, or recreational retreat Minutes from I-35, with easy access to Waco, Lorena, and the growing Central Texas corridor Alternate Uses to Consider: A luxury ranch-style wedding venue or event space An agri-tourism site with horseback riding, glamping, or seasonal retreats A conservation-minded community with trails, shared lake access, and eco-homes A boutique vineyard or wildflower farm centered around the scenic lake

Whether you’re looking to build a legacy home or craft a unique development, 1355 North Houston offers the land, location, and lifestyle canvas to do something truly special.
