Property Description

NEW LOWER PRICE INCENTIVE! JUST IN TIME FOR HIGH SEASON! TAKE OVER AND START MAKING MONEY IMMEDIATELY!

The park’s operation has been completely reorganized over recent years to take advantage of the multiple income streams unique to this property.

Beautiful and secluded, this 110 acre RV & Cabin resort features 23 cabins, 66 full hookup sites and 4 water & electric only sites and 200 tent sides. All this accentuated with 15 acres of stocked, private finger lakes surrounding the community. A separate 1.5 acre Artesian spring-fed lake used as a natural swimming hole is also for the enjoyment of the resort.

Resort amenities include a 1,200 sf party room, laundry room with 2 coin washers and 2 coin dryers, housekeeping laundry room, 2 bathhouses, mini putt course, playground, horse ranch, paintball course, snack bar, 100 foot water slide, white sand beach for water volleyball, koi pond, half court basketball court.

The park could generate more income by adding more cabins. From Memorial Day thru Labor Day weekend, the cabins are completely sold out. Current owner has been purchasing inexpensive cabins and will provide this information to new owner.

The property has 3 free flowing Artesian wells that provide the campground with tens of thousands of gallons of delicious, cold water daily. In 2010, the Southeast Texas Groundwater District grandfathered in our wells and issued a permit. The groundwater district limit’s the amount of wells drilled in the area. This is a wonderful possibility for a company who wants to open a bottling plant on the grounds. The current owners are also open to partnering with a water company to sell the water in bulk.

The campground is for sale for $1,799,000 -- $1.5M for the property and $299,000 for the water rights, but if purchased together, the current owner will discount to $1,699,000 (negotiable).

There are too many wonderful things to say about this property to list. In existence for over 20 years, Artesian Springs has a tremendous following and many loyal customers in and around the south east Texas and western Louisiana area. This is a MUST SEE opportunity!
