4D Country Estates
Welcome Home!
No matter whether you have a beautiful lot for occasional camping, a cabin for weekend or vacation stays, or a permanant full time residence at 4D Country Estates, you know the feeling you get when you're here. That peaceful, relaxed, comfortable feeling from being surrounded by all the beauty of nature, the calming water, amazing wildlife, the many different types of trees and flowers, the quiet stillness or the gentle whispers of a nice breeze, the fresh air taken in during a morning hike or an afternoon of fishing, a warm campfire on a chilly fall evening, a friendly wave or hearty hello from a neighbor. You know it well, the feeling of home.
The History of 4D
The land that is now 4D Country Estates, along with other land in the vicinity, was originally owned by Henry Valentine Denver and his wife Faye Graham Denver. Eventually Henry and Faye, along with their son Thomas "Rayburn" Denver and his wife Hazel Champion Denver, developed a large portion of their land, approximately 800 acres, into the 4D Guest Ranch and Estates. The Guest Ranch offered camping spots, cabins and RV hookups where guests could enjoy the lakes, trails, beach area, stables and a great meal at the renowned Fred's Steak House. The Estates were select wooded homesites offered for sale to individuals who fell in love with the ranch and wanted a permanent place of their own on the property. In 2002 the Denver family gave the common areas surrounding and including the lakes and commuity center and trails to the property owners and created the 4D Estates Property Owner's Association (POA), which is segmented into 4D Big Woods Estates and 4D Country Estates along with the H.L. Ward Survey Tract. The Denver family loved the land and all its wildlife and dedicated the development to the preservation of the natural beauty of one of East Texas' most scenic woodlands, which is why you find safeguards for both in our Dedicatory Instruments.

Your Association, Your Community
As an owner of property in 4D Country Estates, a private gated community in the beautiful Piney Woods on the outskirts of Winnsboro, you are a member of the 4D Country Estates Property Owners Association (POA).
Your POA is governed by a Board of Directors that is elected by you, the members, at an annual meeting held in April of each year. The elected Directors are charged with the administration of the organization as well as the enforcement of our Dedicatory Instruments to ensure that 4D Country Estates remains a naturally beautiful, pleasant and safe environment for its owners. All members should read and understand these documents fully as they contain information and rules pertaining to all aspects of ownership, directorship, etc. and lay out policies, procedures and rules for each.
As a member of the 4D POA, you are encouraged to attend the regular monthly Board meetings, as well as the two General meetings with potluck fellowship gathering afterward per year, one in April and one in September, all held at the Community Center.
Furthermore, and since this is your Community, be sure to become actively involved by volunteering your talents and time. There are so many opportunities, to name just a few - run for a Board member position, inquire about joining an existing Committee or starting a new one, spearhead a social event, share pictures or interesting stories about the community, voice any concerns and share ideas
