CARTAGENA
CREEK LODGE
OAKWOOD TEXAS
156± acres
As soon as you drive through the gate at Cartagena Creek Lodge, it feels like both the clock and the calendar slow down. It feels like a place where families and friends spend quality time around the fire pit sharing stories of the day’s adventures, end the evening with a competitive shuffleboard game at the lodge, or a place where just sitting on the porch and listening to the wind whispering through the trees is enough.
Cartagena Creek Lodge is move in ready, waiting to share all the beauty this place has to offer new owners.
The Ranch
Located in the transition zone between the Post Oak Savanah and the East Texas Piney Woods, much of the property is wooded with a mixture of hardwood and pine. Post Oak, White Oak, Burr Oak, Sycamore, and Elm are the most abundant hardwood species. These hardwood trees offer an amazing display of Fall color as the leaves change. The wildflowers and numerous dog wood trees on this property provide an even better color display in the Spring. Yaupon and Cedar trees are abundant throughout the place. A Coastal Bermuda field along the west side of the property provides some grazing for cattle.
