Firefly Farm is a high-quality recreational property located in Kaufman County only 1 hr from Dallas. The ranch is highlighted by a clear and unique 21-acre lake that boasts nearly 30′ in-depth and a blue-like appearance. Utilities are connected over 1 mile to the interior of the property and service a small lakefront cabin and shop. The lake and shape of this property create the type of privacy that feels much farther outside the city.
The ranch is located approximately 1 hour southeast of Dallas and a few miles north of Hwy 175. The property is 3 miles from Kemp and 3.5 miles north of Cedar Creek Lake. The ranch is accessed from CR 4026.
Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
This property is made up of typical East Texas rolling topography with scattered mature oak trees and some segregated blocks of timber. The ranch is nearly 60% open with the improved pasture currently being utilized for grazing with options to cut hay. There are many build sites along the north side of the lake.
Wildlife
The lake offers excellent fishing and waterfowl hunting opportunities. White-tailed deer, hogs, and other native species are frequent in this area. Some antler restrictions do apply in Kaufman County.
Improvements
The cabin is approximately 600 sqft and has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom with an adjacent boat dock. North of the cabin is a 1,200 sqft metal shop built in 2015. A good gravel road with a concrete-engineered bridge leads to the lake and improvements.
Water
The 21-acre quarry lake is rare due to its unique blue color, shape, and 30′ depth. The Limestone rock in the lake is responsible for the blue coloration. The lake provides many fishing, hunting, and recreational opportunities including water sports. The majority of the area around the water’s edge is manicured for full enjoyment of the lake. The lake also includes a small cement boat ramp and an adjacent brood fish pond. There are 2 additional ponds with a few seasonal creeks and drainages. Co-op water services the cabin and shop.
