This lot was one of the very first to be developed in Aggies Acres here at the Calamus back in 2002! The developer was originally saving it for himself, but grew fond of his new friends and sold the lot to the current owner to be developed. It arguably has the best vantage point of the lake and with nothing but the rolling Sandhills pasture and cattle grazing behind you, it truly is one of a kind. Property sits in the 5th Subdivision of Aggies Acres and includes Lots 1, 2 and 7. The house sits on Lot 1. A home is allowed to be built on Lot 2 and/or Lot 7 as well. Lot 1 is the only lot in this subdivision currently that is allowed an outbuilding to be built. Lot 1 is also the only lot that is allowed horses to be grazed and can be grazed on adjoining lots if owned by owner of Lot 1 (Lot 2 and 7 would currently qualify). See the Restrictive Covenants located under Documents for full information. Lots 1, 2 and 7 according to the Plat Map equate to around 7.8 +/- acres. Lot 7 is very wooded and features several black walnut trees! Lot 2 has a good vantage point for a building site and then rolling hills. There is a community well and a private septic system. Property has underground sprinklers and lawn has been maintained and treated around the house to offer a cactus free area for the kids and pets to play! You will also find an established asparagus patch and beautiful, flowering plum bushes.
