Bend Reservoir is the largest man made body of water in the south and
the fifth largest in surface acres in the United States. It is the
boundary between a portion of Texas and Louisiana - the West side of the
lake is Texas, the East side Louisiana. By purchasing on the Texas
side of the lake you have several distinct advantages:
- Sabine National Forest surrounds the Texas side
of the lake with relatively small enclaves where there are private lands.
Population density is low and will remain that way. Nearby Sam
Rayburn Reservoir (partly in Sabine County, Texas) and Angelina National
Forest add even more of the great outdoors to the picture.
- Texas has NO State Income Tax - Louisiana does.
Property taxes are low and there is a homestead exemption that
relieves part of the small property taxes.
- You can be away from it all and near Nature, surrounded
with woods and water - AND near major towns for shopping and conveniences.
Natchitoches, Lufkin, and Beaumont, Texas are within about an hour drive.
A couple hours will get you to Shreveport or Lake Charles, Louisiana
and Houston and Dallas, Texas aren't much further.
