Year Built: 1951 Land
Welcome to 1355 North Houston in Lorena—where wide open skies meet 77 pristine acres of rolling green pastures, centered around a breathtaking 17-acre lake. Whether you’re envisioning a sprawling single-family estate, a thoughtfully planned residential development, or a private retreat for outdoor recreation, this property delivers the setting and the potential. The lake, created with a water retention berm and now supported by a newly installed overflow pipe, dramatically reduces the need for a floodplain designation—making development and long-term planning easier. Picture horses grazing in the distance, birds sweeping across the water, and sunsets that make every evening feel like a painting. A gated private entrance guides you past a charming former milk barn, now transformed into a rustic cabin full of character. Currently enjoyed as a recreational haven for hunting and fishing—the lake is fully stocked with bass—this property is clean, cleared, and ready to bring your dream to life. **Highlights:** * 77 acres of gently rolling pasture * 17-acre private lake with flood mitigation infrastructure * Rustic cabin with original milk barn charm * Gated entrance with private drive * Ideal for residential development, family compound, equestrian estate, or recreational retreat * Minutes from I-35, with easy access to Waco, Lorena, and the growing Central Texas corridor **Alternate Uses to Consider:** * A luxury ranch-style wedding venue or event space * An agri-tourism site with horseback riding, glamping, or seasonal retreats * A conservation-minded community with trails, shared lake access, and eco-homes * A boutique vineyard or wildflower farm centered around the scenic lake Whether you’re looking to build a legacy home or craft a unique development, 1355 North Houston offers the land, location, and lifestyle canvas to do something truly special.
