The largest private lake in Texas, located between Dallas, Houston and Austin, is for sale for more than $110 million.

The lake, known as Fairfield Lake, is in Freestone County and stretches over 2,400 acres. The property as a whole is 5,000 acres, according to MSN.

“Anyone want to buy a lake? The largest private lake in Texas is now on sale for more than $110 million #realestate #lakeside #texasrealestate #drunkonsocial #dos100 #dostweetschallenge #realestatelisting https://mysanantonio.com/real-estate/article/fairfield-lake-texas-on-sale-largest-lake-dallas-16519532.php?utm_campaign=CMS%20Sharing%20Tools%20(Premium)&utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral… via @mySA,” Frankee Chapa shared via Twitter.

At its deepest, the lake is 50 feet deep and is being marketed by Hortenstine Ranch Company. 

The property is roughly 90 miles southeast of Dallas, and when the $110.55 million retail price is broken down per acre it comes out to $22,000. 

Wildlife abounds at this property with foxes, river otters, bobcats and bald eagles, and the property has 10 acres of wetlands ecosystems as well as highway-grade two-lane roads, making it an excellent prospect for a real estate developer. 

Blake Hortenstine, a broker of Hortenstine Ranch Company, explained that a water asset of this size is nearly impossible to find in the U.S.
