Catching up on a few things...

Here's one of my neighbors night fishing on my dock
Catching up on a few things... 
The lake is about 6" below full today at 315.45', a very nice number for this time of year especially considering rain is coming back into the forecast starting this weekend.  It is always good to be full before summer. The market has been very busy for January on Richland Chambers.  Several properties have gone under contract and sold.  Any waterfront homes that come up priced with the market tend to go under contract very quickly.  
(We have a couple of waterfront homes that are coming on the market this week that are great, so keep your eyes open)

The cheap dockable waterfront in The Shores, Lots 415 and 415, went under contract and have sold Several of the great deals on waterfront lots from last year have sold. However there still are some great opportunities and good deals to be had, so here we go:

Lot 38 El Barco in Vista Ridge -Very nice waterfront, 3/4 acre+, 100ft of shoreline  $79,900

902 Donzi Court - Beautiful, private treed lot with Double decker Boathouse -$99,000

Lot 563 The Shores - Beautiful treed lot down on the peninsula in The Shores - $99,000

Lot 45 El Sueno in Arrowhead - Open water lot in very nice gated community $99,000 

Lot 25 Susan Grove in Cape Estes - Rare find on the South Side, big boathouse, septic...

Lot 500 The Shores - Down on the peninsula with incredible, open water sunset views

Lot 242 The Shores - On the peninsula, some of the deepest, dockable water on RC Lake

Lot 243 The Shores - Right next door, same thing, deep dockable water, great lot



The busy season will soon be upon us, especially when Old Man Winter starts heading back North...

Places Around Richland Chambers

Wow 2017 is upon us so here we go... Places around Richland Chambers Lake...
There are lots of good things about Richland Chambers Lake, fishing, wildlife, scenery...but maybe the best thing about our lake is the peace and quiet.  Before the lake was filled in 1989 there was not much at all out here.  Just woods, pasture land, ranch land and bottom land.  My family and I used to travel down US Hwy 287 to Palestine to visit my grandparents when I was a kid.  In those days on 287 between Corsicana and Palestine there were a lot of woods, a small store at Eureka, another at Cayuga and a couple of memorable bridges across Chambers Creek and the Trinity river and that was it. Now when you come down 287 you'll find Richland Chambers Lake the 3rd largest body of water in the State of Texas and lot of nice houses and neighborhoods.  So what else is out here?

Les and Bev York
From most parts of the lake it is about 20-30 minutes to the closest town.  But when you get out here to enjoy the lake there are some places around you need to know about that can save you time and money.   Richland Chambers Hardware and Lumber is one of those places.  The "Hardware Store on the south side"  is a great place.  Les and Bev York do a fantastic job providing a huge inventory of items (more than 15,000!) at competitive prices. 
Yes, speaking from experience, competitive prices. 
They carry pretty much everything you would expect from a hardware store (no skimping here) along with fishing supplies, landscaping supplies, and lots more. (They live here, know the area and can tell you just what you need and when you need it for your yard.)  They are also a "Boat Hoist" dealer.  They carry all manner of boat dock supplies and parts and can quickly get their hands on anything you may need to keep your dock up and running in tip top shape.  Most of us have  lake-fed irrigation systems.  Les and Bev have all the parts to repair it and keep it running including pumps, relays, fittings, pipe, etc...
Their lumber rack is kept full and they have lots of varieties of dimensional lumber at prices that you will find very competitive with the big orange store.  So no need to haul a bunch of stuff from the big city for your weekend project at the lake.  Shop locally right here on the south side and you will be surprised at the prices and level of friendly service you can find. They also deliver!!
They are "Large enough to serve you and small enough to know you!!"
