1 Homeowners Association Fee: ALL THE GOLF YOU CAN PLAY--no green fees

You read this right. So, say you live in Houston (about an hour away)--buy a weekend place in Elkins Lake--great home values--play golf until you drop. I'd say that makes a pretty good weekend get-away.

Check out www.ElkinsLakePropertySearch.com Call Mari at ET Property Search--and you'll be teeing off in no time. BTW, I love it so much, I live here!

Okay, say you LOVE golf, but you wish with all your heart it were FREE. So, let me ask you: If you could find a great house in a great neighborhood in a great little town a little over an hour from Houston and could play all the golf you wanted--I mean every day and then some--for free, would you be interested?

Okay, I'll tell you more. The place is Elkins Lake in Huntsville TX. If you have ever driven on I-45 and gotten to a bend in the road about 60 miles from downtown Houston and have seen a giant statue of Sam Houston--That's Huntsville. You have found us.

Elkins Lake Golfing Snapshot:

I love, love, love my porch.  It is where my husband and I watch the world go by.  It's where we take our laptops and work, and where I play a lot of sudoku and maybe a glass of wine.  When we moved to Huntsville TX from west of Fort Worth, I told my husband, "what I want in Huntsville TX Real estate is a porch."  I want to sit out when it rains and not get wet.  (Moving from west of Fort Worth, I just wanted it to rain!)  I sure did get my wish.  I feel like the luckiest girl in the world--4 covered porches!  Colonial homes rock!

Where is it that you like to sit and relax?  Is it outdoors in indoors?  Do you have wildlife in your neighborhood?  We have deer.  Some people hate them because they eat the plants.  I think they are SO cute.  We live in a subdivision called Elkins Lake in Huntsville TX.  We love it!

This was so much fun.  Yesterday as my husband and I were coming home from our new Target--that's right, Huntsville TX NOW has a Target!!  We are officially BIG time.  I saw some of my clients that I helped find a home in Elkins Lake-- a gorgeous golf community in Huntsville TX.  All the golf you can play--One Homeowners fee--NO green fees!  How cool is that--Wanna know more--Call me!

Okay, back to the story.  Anyway, they were tooling down the road from the clubhouse in their cool golfcart.  Well, I didn't have their new e-mail address, so I decided we would flag them down.  So we did--in a "No Parking Anytime Zone."  That is cool in itself.  Kind of as renegade as I get.  So, we start talking.  I got their e-mail address, then I realized I didn't have their picture on my website.  Well, I just happened to be carrying a SOLD sign, my camera and my Flip Video.  Yeah, that's cool too.

We laughed so hard--people honked at us to move out of the "No Parking Zone," but we were having too much fun.  Then someone on a bike rode up and stopped to talk.  It was another client I had helped to find a home in the neighboring neighborhood.  (Is that a term?)   It was too cool.

I LOVE the people I get to meet and work with and help in this business.  I LOVE THIS BUSINESS!!!  I am having so much fun and make a living---who knew?!

Watch this video and you can see for yourself--It's short--and you'll hopefully at least smile.
