Welcome to Hidden Lake Ranch, a rare 21.72-acre retreat in Athens, Texas, that combines the beauty of East Texas land with exceptional recreational opportunities. Just over an hour from Dallas, this property features a breathtaking 5-acre spring-fed lake, a charming rustic log home, and peaceful privacy, making it the perfect weekend escape or full-time residence. The lake, fed year-round by two natural springs, has been meticulously managed and stocked with Florida-strain largemouth bass and baitfish, producing trophy bass with a record catch over 12 pounds. With four fishing docks and mature tree cover concealing it from the road, the lake offers unmatched seclusion and recreation, while thousands of ducks flock to the water each winter, creating a waterfowl hunter’s paradise. Perched above the lake is a 3,012 sq ft log cabin with expansive windows showcasing stunning views. The home includes four bedrooms and two bathrooms in a spacious two-story layout, with the primary suite downstairs offering a sitting area, massive bathroom, and private deck with a hot tub. Inside, a wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy focal point, while a breakfast nook, large pantry, and laundry room add convenience, and a generous front porch provides the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or relax at sunset. Additional improvements include a log cabin barn with equipment storage and an office above, ideal for working remotely. Trails wind throughout the property for horseback riding, hiking, or ATV adventures, with peaceful sitting areas to enjoy nature. Wildlife is abundant, from trophy bass and ducks to whitetail deer and native birds. Despite its secluded feel, Hidden Lake Ranch offers paved road access, a winding private driveway, and is only 10 miles from Athens for dining and shopping, making it a true blend of rustic charm, modern comfort, and natural beauty.
