Summer never really ends when you're this close to the Trinity River. Willow Creek's warm days and easy river access make this an outdoor lover's home base -- fishing, rafting, and long summer evenings are all just minutes away. Come home to 2.75 flat, rock-free acres that are ready for whatever you have in mind: horses, gardens, hobby farming, or simply room to spread out. The 1,740 sq. ft. ranch-style home offers 3 generously sized bedrooms and 2 baths, with vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings and warm wood floors throughout the open living and dining areas. A wood-burning stove anchors the living room, and the country kitchen is ready for gatherings. Off the primary suite, a large screened-in back room invites you to soak in the fresh mountain air year-round, and a 154 sq. ft. loft adds bonus storage. Outside, the property is set up for full-time RV living or guests, with covered RV parking and full hookups already in place. An attached two-car garage/shop and additional outbuildings round out this versatile setup -- all framed by forested hillsides and mountain views, with plenty of wide open, usable acreage still to spare. Whether you're looking for elbow room, a place to bring animals home, or a basecamp for river season, this Willow Creek property is worth a look.
