Unique Land Buying Opportunity Toledo Bend Lake waterfront 26.5
Own a piece of Toledo Bend history. Merritt Mountain is one of the most well known and unique properties on Toledo Bend Lake. The 26.5-acre tract was developed into a sanctuary community in the 1970's, by Cliff Ammons, known as the father of Toledo Bend. One of the mainstays in the park was the Tom Sawyer, a replica of a paddle wheel boat. This facility was used as a place of worship, community meetings, and weddings. At Merritt Mountain Park, along with the Tom Sawyer Chapel, there was also a swimming beach, a bike trail, and a horseback riding trail. Also on the mountain was an amphitheater, built high above and along the natural bluff overlooking the lake. The chapel was non-denominational, and anyone was welcome. The park was open twenty-four hours a day seven days a week so anyone could come and relax, reflect, pray, and worship as they wished. The top of the mountain has a small cemetery dating before the civil war. This site has the most dynamic view on the lake and would make a great residential or commercial property.

The property has many beautiful moss draped trees. Electric and water are available to the property. Opportunity to subdivide or would make a great home site.
