Close to one-half mile of LIVE WATER Cow House Creek frontage lined with giant Pecan and Black Walnut trees where turkeys roam. A renowned local landmark, the Horseshoe Bend of the Cow House Creek, is on this property and holds one of the deepest swimming and fishing holes that there are on the stream.
