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.

Cedar Creek Lake

Fishing Report from TPWD (Dec. 18)

GOOD. stained; 55 degrees; 3.76 feet below pool. 55-57 degrees; 3.71 feet below pool. The hybrid and white bass winter deadsticking bite is now in full swing! Use half ounce to 1-1/2 ounce jigs with 4-5 inch plastic flukes depending on what the winds are and drift long lengths of the lake in the deepest water 35-50 feet. Drift at speeds of .2-.6 mph using your drift mode on your trolling motor or using drift socks. If the winds are not too bad you can just drift with the wind. Thumping on the bottom of your boat will attract fish and group them up underneath as you drift. Utilizing a splasher also works well with thumping. You will find the fish suspended between 22-28 feet when deadstricking. Look for birds and loons early mornings as the fish will come up to follow the bait and feed early especially on cloudier/colder days. The crappie bite has been getting better. Target crappie with small jigs and minnows in 7-15 feet under bridge pylons, hidden brush piles throughout the lake or under docks. Crappie fisherman have been moving spot to spot finding limits. Lots of crappies in the 7-9 inch range. Limits of crappie will happen but you may catch a lot of small ones getting to your limit. Report by Brent Herbeck, Herbeck’s Lonestar Fishing Guide Service. The shallow bite continues to be good for catfish along wind blown banks and points near the mouths of major creeks where the actual creek runs into the lake. Due to the low water you can only get a few hundred yards away. Fish in 2-6 feet with fresh shad anchored on bottom. The deep bite is also good dragging bigger cut shad or rough fish in 15-30 feet drifting main lake flats. Report by Jason Barber, Kings Creek Adventures.
