Why they chose this property

The Lucky Penny is on land that was purchased over 30 years ago by my father. He was a true country boy and having his own place was his dream.

What makes this property unique

"The Lucky Penny is located on the site of Audubon, Tx. in Wise County, Texas. A historical ghost town, settled in 1865, named for naturalist John James Audubon, which thrived as a small community before declining after the railroad bypassed it in 1883, leaving behind historical markers and local history.
