Developers plan new luxury subdivision for Cedar Creek Lake

The Kaufman County Commissioners Court approved a preliminary plat on Jan. 3 for a new luxury subdivision on the northwest edge of Cedar Creek Lake in Precinct 4.

The new subdivision will be called Edgewater, and it will sit on 250 acres. Lots for 145 homes are planned, according to the developer Cedar Creek Preservation LLC.

The subdivision will be accessed by County Road 4042, which is also kown as the Tolosa Road by residents of the area. The Tolosa Feed Store sits at the intersection of County Road 4042 and State Highway 274.

Lakeside lots will sell for $200,000 each, and interior lots will be priced at $60,000.

The subdivision roads will be maintained privately as is the case with many other luxury subdivisions in the Cedar Creek Lake area.

The county made significant repairs to County Road 4042 about a year ago after it became so riddled with potholes that residennts could not drive on it. Tolosa residents confronted the Commissioners Court about the roads, and Precinct 4 Commissioner Jakie Allen subsequently ordered repairs to be made.

The road also leads to the Baker Cemetery.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 23)

EXCELLENT. stained; 69 degrees; 0.12 feet below pool. Fishing patterns remain consistent. Look for heavy bird activity throughout the lake on flats and near the dam on edges of drop-offs especially on cloudy and overcast days. Reports of great catches using silver or white slabs and spinnerbaits with a very slow retrieve off the bottom in 17-26 feet of water. The crappie have also migrated back into the main lake. Look for them under bridge pylons or under docks where the depths are between 3-10 feet. Guides have been reporting exceptionally nice catches on sunny warmer days. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shad spawn is in full swing, so the early shallow wall bite is on fire all over the lake. Fresh caught shad tossed up to the walls on bottom or under a float are a sure way to catch good numbers of nice eating sized catfish. There is still a deeper drifting bite in 12-24 feet of water using cut shad, drum or carp drifted along the bottom. Many fish being caught in the 10-50 pound range. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
