Growing on the Lake

Valued Proximity

City of Seven Oaks

Character to Spare

As with most small east Texas towns, it's not the size that matters, it's the character, and Seven Oaks filled with character. Gently rolling hills with cattle, horses, and grass for miles. When you pass through, be sure and look for the artful Burning House.
