ABOUT THE CREEK:

This creek is what you think of when you hear the phrase North Texas Hill Country! Lined by limestone shale, it rolls across the rocks in the rainy season, sending out running water sounds you can hear from the pasture. The bed has lots of fossils in it and is really fun to explore and relaxing to be around. The creek is lined on both sides by enormous hardwoods, including elm, sycamore, white oak, bur oak and native pecan. You will find all kinds of wildlife down by the creek as well, such as whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey and seasonal song birds.

For the tracts that front Brushy Elm Creek, the survey line follows the middle of the creek bed.

In Cooke County, where it is becoming increasing difficult to find a quality building tract under $10,000/acre, these tracts present a great opportunity at an affordable price. Located northwest of the DFW metroplex, they are within an hours drive of almost anywhere, yet far enough out for true peace and quiet.
