Many Americans dream of retiring to or taking vacations in pristine locations with beautiful scenery and nature at their fingertips. The hills above Possum Kingdom offer up a collection of residential homes and land lots that can provide all of the above, and more.
Located in northeastern Texas, Possum Kingdom Lake (also known as PK Lake) spans a huge 20,000 acres with a 310-mile long shoreline. Due to its size, peaceful water, and warm climate, Possum Kingdom Lake has a host of resorts and housing developments across its shores and the hills above Possum Kingdom Lake are among some of the most atmospheric areas around. The features that most prominently dominate the horizon here (apart from the lake itself) are the 10 miles of live Oak trees, which surround the properties. These trees are at least a century old and not only provide homes and shade for the surrounding wildlife, but a strong sense of privacy and security for the residents.
Possum Kingdom was formed in 1938 when the Dam on the Brazos River (known as the Morris Sheppard Dam) was created. The Brazos River tributaries run right through the hills above Possum Kingdom and down into the lake. The quiet meandering springs among the tall Oak trees make for an incredibly serene setting for a family holiday that will provide fond memories for generations of children to come.
Possum Kingdom gets its namesake from the substantial families of possums in the area. The cedars and oak trees provide a great environment for Possums to live in, and they are among just some of the wildlife that have chosen Possum Kingdom Lake as their home.
