Overview: Set in a highly sought after pocket of Northeast Texas, Honey Grove Ranch offers a rare combination of scenic elevation, premier surface water, and exceptional recreational appeal just minutes from two of the region's most exciting new reservoirs. Ideally located at the southeast corner of U.S. Highway 82 and County Road 2999, only a short drive from Bonham, Honey Grove, and the rapidly emerging Bois d'Arc Lake, this turnkey ranch is thoughtfully improved and meticulously managed for whitetail deer, fishing and waterfowl hunting. From the well-positioned hilltop home overlooking a 9+/- acre lake to the expertly designed wetland system and diverse creek fed habitat below, the property delivers a compelling blend of comfort, functionality, and year-round outdoor enjoyment in one of North Texas' fastest growing recreational corridors.
Location: Fronting on the southeast corner of the intersection US Highway 82 & CR-2999, 13+/- miles east of Bonham, 5 +/- miles west of Honey Grove, and 8 +/- miles south of the new Bois D'Arc Lake. The property fronts Highway 82 for approximately .2 miles and County Road 2999 for approximately .34 miles. Access is provided by an electric gate off CR-2999. The address to the property is 277 CR 2999.
Improvements: A well kept 2,400+/- SF double wide home is ideally positioned atop a hill, offering elevated views overlooking the lake. The home features three bedrooms and two bathrooms and has been well cared for. A covered barn, elevated over two shipping containers and a retaining wall sits just across the main driveway from the home. The covered structure is ~1,100 square feet, with an additional lean-to roof of 1,200+/- SF. These covered spaces provide ample storage for various ranch equipment. One of the shipping containers has been finished out as a mudroom designed with the waterfowler in mind. Both shipping containers offer ample storage.
An old hand-dug well can be found in the southwest corner of the ranch.
Surface Water: The main lake is 9+/- acres and sits within view of the headquarters area. It is fed by Ward Creek and appears to remain at mostly a constant level throughout the year. It offers a quality largemouth bass fishery and also serves as waterfowl habitat. Standing timber was left within the middle of the lake to create structure and cover for largemouth bass and baitfish. Honey Grove Ranch has three managed wetlands ranging in size from 12+/- acres, 5+/- acres and 4+/- acres. Under current ownership and after thoughtful design, the wetlands on the property were constructed to be optionally supplemented from the main lake through a series of valves and cutoffs. Water control structures sit on the levees of each wetland, allowing for water levels to be manipulated throughout both the growing & hunting seasons.
Bois D'Arc Lake: Bois d'Arc Lake is North Texas' newest major reservoir and has been intentionally managed as a premier fishery from day one, stocked with Florida-strain largemouth bass, including ShareLunker genetics through the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, to produce trophy class fish. This proactive approach is already positioning the lake as a top-tier bass destination with long term angling appeal. In addition, the lake's flooded timber, wetlands, and natural habitat are expected to attract seasonal waterfowl migrations each year, enhancing its value for both hunters and outdoor enthusiasts. Together, these features make nearby properties especially attractive for buyers seeking recreation, wildlife, and strong future appreciation potential.
The closest public boat ramp is approximately 8 miles north of Honey Grove Ranch at the end of FM-1396.
Lake Ralph Hall: Lake Ralph Hall is another of North Texas' newest reservoirs currently under construction on the North Sulphur River with an expected completion date at the end of 2026. Designed not only as a long term water supply but also as a thoughtfully planned recreational destination. From the ground up, the lake has been engineered to become a premier fishery, stocked early with ShareLunker largemouth bass genetics and enhanced with extensive habitat features like standing timber, spawning beds, and artificial reef structures to support trophy class fishing for decades. In addition, surrounding wetlands, timber, and designated public hunting areas are expected to attract consistent waterfowl migrations, making the area highly appealing for both anglers and hunters and boosting the long-term recreational and investment value of nearby properties.
Lake Ralph Hall will be to the south of Honey Grove Ranch by a few miles, as a crow flies.
Terrain: Honey Grove Ranch has ~70 feet of elevation change, with a high point of 630' ASL and a low point of 560' ASL. Elevated hilltops are on both the western and eastern sides of the ranch. With the middle of the property being in a valley with two creeks: the named Ward Creek and an unnamed creek that joins into Ward Creek towards the northern part of the ranch. This valley has been thoughtfully developed to create premier fishing and waterfowl habitat. Please see maps and broker for further information.
Wildlife Habitat: Three wildlife footplots can be found on the eastern side of the ranch to attract whitetail deer. In addition to the food plots, the ample water on the ranch and supplemental protein and corn feeders keep wildlife on the ranch throughout the year. Honey Grove Ranch has excellent deer and duck hunting. Turkey, feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats and various other small game animals are found on the ranch as well. The main lake also offers anglers year-round fishing opportunities for largemouth bass.
