What's around 140 Bear Branch Road

About this property

If you're looking for a little room to spread out, a good shop, and some peace and quiet, this property might be just what you've been searching for! Located at 140 Bear Branch Rd in Purmela, TX, between Evant and Gatesville and just a short distance from the historic community of Pearl, Texas, this 2018-built, 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom barndominium sits on 8.87± acres with incredible panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The nearly 1,800± sq. ft. building features approximately 750–900 sq. ft. of living space, a spacious 30' x 30' attached shop, and a 200 sq. ft. covered front porch that's perfect for taking in those Texas sunsets. Spray foam insulation adds to the building's efficiency, while an electric gated entrance, perimeter and cross-fencing, and scattered hardwoods throughout the acreage give the property that true country feel. With no known restrictions, there's plenty of opportunity to make this place your own. The septic system was designed with future expansion in mind, offering potential for additional living space or a larger home down the road, subject to verification and necessary approvals.
