Land

This lot was one of the very first to be developed in Aggies Acres here at the Calamus back in 2002. The developer was originally saving it for himself, but grew fond of his new friends and sold the lot to the current owner to be developed. It arguably has the best vantage point of the lake and with nothing but the rolling Sandhills pasture and cattle grazing behind you, it truly is one of a kind.

Property sits in the 5th Subdivision of Aggies Acres and includes Lots 1 and 7. The house sits on Lot 1. A home is allowed to be built on Lot 7 as well. Lot 1 is the only lot in this subdivision that allows an outbuilding to be built. Lot 1 is also the only lot that allows horses to be grazed and can be grazed on adjoining lots if owned by owner of Lot 1 Lot 2 and 7 would currently qualify. See the Restrictive Covenants located under Documents for full information.

Potential for neighboring Lot 2 to be sold to purchaser of this property. Lot 2 is 2.9709 Ac and allows for a home to be built and horses grazed if owned by same owner of Lot 1. Lot 2 offers another fantastic vantage point of the lake and rolling Sandhills.

Lots 1 and 7 according to the Plat Map equate to around 4.75 +/- acres. Lot 7 is very wooded and features several black walnut trees. There is a community well and a private septic system. Property has underground sprinklers and lawn has been maintained and treated around the house to offer a cactus free area for the kids and pets to play. You will also find an established asparagus patch and beautiful, flowering plum bushes. Wildlife include mule deer, turkeys, coyotes, Sandhill Cranes twice a year, bald eagles, finch, bluebirds, seagulls, pelican, rabbits and the occasional owl.
