## Description

### Agent Description
Forty acres just five minutes west of Valley Mills and an easy thirty-minute drive to Waco, this property delivers the kind of setting buyers wait years to find. With FM 217 frontage and roughly two thousand feet of Hog Creek running along the back boundary, it offers both accessibility and the kind of natural beauty that makes a piece of land unforgettable. Hog Creek winds along through the back acreage with clear, gorgeous water that can reach depths of over five feet in places, creating a rare combination of scenery, recreation, and year-round appeal. A series of elevated ridges overlook the creek, providing multiple build sites with long views and a sense of privacy that only comes from being surrounded by established ranch land. Mature oak trees blanket the property, giving it shade, character, and a timeless Central Texas feel. Wildlife is abundant, with whitetail deer, turkey, hogs, and other native species moving freely through the woods and creek bottom, making this an exceptional hunting getaway or weekend retreat. Opportunities like this are seldom available, especially with highway frontage and this much creek. Whether you're envisioning a retirement home, a recreational escape, or a long-term investment in one of the most desirable areas of Bosque County, this tract offers the setting and the potential to make it happen.
