About this home
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....
