About the host
Hosted by Babette “Missy” Gegenheimer
My husband, Tracy, and I were born and raised in New Orleans and relocated to Texas in 2005. After purchasing property on Toledo Bend Lake in 2015, we began construction of our 5 bedroom lake house, now known as Cliffside Barndominium, was completed in 2017. We have been blessed with 3 children, 5 wonderful grandchildren, and 2 terrific dogs, rescues from the neighborhood!
Why they chose this property
Originally from South Louisiana, we have always loved living close to the water. We searched for waterfront property that offered great fishing, water sports for the kids, scenic shorelines, and breathtaking views. Without a doubt, Toledo Bend was the perfect spot. We are located on a bluff, directly above the Sabine River on the 'Chicken Coop', a deepwater section of the river that is famous for great cool weather crappie fishing . Toledo Bend reservoir is ranked nationally as having some of the best year-round bass fishing in the United States. As an added bonus, the panoramic views from our covered deck allow us to see the western border of Louisiana, our home state.
What makes this property unique
The bluff overlooks the lake and offers privacy from boat traffic and spectacular evening sunsets . Toledo Bend Reservoir is a nationally known bass fishing lake, and numerous tournaments are held here each year. For wildlife enthusiasts, bald eagles nest nearby and provide quite a spectacle when perched in the pine trees that line the bluff. Fox, red headed woodpeckers, cardinals, black squirrels, ducks, and deer are among many species of wildlife that are very common in the area. East Texas is also part of the central flyway for multiple species of neotropical migratory birds including songbirds, hawks, and shorebirds.
