Discover an unparalleled birdwatching experience at our luxury retreat, set on 10 pristine acres in the heart of East Texas. This isn't just a rental; it's a dedicated sanctuary designed for observing diverse avian life, capturing stunning photographs, and immersing yourself in the symphony of nature. You'll find yourself in a charming town uniquely named after our owner's great-great-grandfather, Larue, adding a touch of local history to your peaceful escape.

The centerpiece of your stay is our spacious house, thoughtfully designed for comfort and quiet contemplation after a day in the field. Enjoy cozy evenings, perhaps sharing your sightings and photos, with ample room for your group. The large kitchen provides all the amenities for preparing meals to fuel your early morning expeditions. Outdoors, the property truly comes alive. Observe waterfowl and waders at the stocked pond with its private dock, a serene spot for spotting Wood Ducks, Great Blue Herons, Green Herons, and perhaps even a Kingfisher diving for a meal. As evening descends, gather quietly by the fire pit with a built-in movie screen, perfect for reviewing your day's discoveries or enjoying nature documentaries under the stars, perhaps accompanied by the calls of a Barred Owl or Great Horned Owl. For additional privacy or space for fellow enthusiasts, our property also boasts two luxury cabins and an on-site RV with full hookups, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay for all.

Beyond these comforts, our property is a designated songbird wildlife sanctuary, meticulously managed to attract and protect a wide variety of species. This makes our grounds a prime location for birdwatching, offering incredible opportunities to spot resident favorites like Northern Cardinals, Carolina Wrens, Carolina Chickadees, Tufted Titmice, and Eastern Bluebirds. Keep an eye out for various woodpeckers, including the impressive Pileated Woodpecker and the vibrant Red-bellied Woodpecker. During migration seasons, you might also be treated to glimpses of colorful warblers such as Pine Warblers, Yellow-throated Warblers, Hooded Warblers, and Summer Tanagers, along with vireos, thrushes, and various sparrows. You're perfectly positioned to explore the vast and verdant East Texas Piney Woods, a renowned habitat rich with avian diversity. Our charming hometown of Larue, Texas, offers a welcoming base from which to explore local birding hotspots and natural areas.
