About This Home
Calling all investors, builders, and renovation specialists! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch sits on a lakefront lot with a private dock and beautiful views of Lake Jackson, offering incredible potential for the right buyer. The home has been completely gutted and requires a full renovation or possible teardown, making this an ideal opportunity to build new or create your dream lake retreat. This property is currently in pre-foreclosure and is being sold strictly as-is. The home is in extremely poor condition and should be considered an enter-at-your-own-risk property. Exercise extreme caution when viewing, as the seller makes no representations regarding the condition or safety of the structure. Cash buyers are strongly preferred due to the condition of the home. If you've been searching for a chance to invest in a desirable Lake Jackson waterfront property with endless possibilities, this is your opportunity. Bring your vision and unlock the potential of this exceptional lot and its stunning lake views. Important Notice: This property is located in a high-risk flood zone. Buyers should verify flood zone information, flood insurance requirements, and any restrictions that may affect future renovation or redevelopment. ALL BUYER AGENTS AND THEIR BUYERS MUST SIGN THE HOLD HARMLESS FORM IN THE ASSOCIATED DOCS PRIOR TO BEING GIVEN THE CODE FOR ENTRY
