Nine acres of East Texas land
\nsits quietly at the end of a dead-end county road in rural Smith County,
\nnortheast of Tyler. The property has been mulcher-cleared to define boundaries
\nand open up interior trails, giving you immediate access across the acreage
\nfrom the first day you own it. Mature timber still stands along the creek
\ncorridor and throughout the tract \u2014 the kind of hardwood and mixed-timber
\ncharacter that takes decades to grow and cannot be replicated on a cleared lot.
\nThis is the raw material for whatever you have in mind: a private homesite, a
\nweekend hunting retreat, a fenced livestock operation, or a place to simply
\nstep away from the noise of city life.<\/p>\n
Located off County Road 385
\n(South Travis Drive) in the 75708 zip code, this 9-acre parcel carries no deed
\nrestrictions, which gives buyers freedom to build, fence, graze, hunt, or
\ndevelop the land as they see fit. Electricity is available to the property. The
\ntract is partially fenced with barbed wire. The land is assigned to the Chapel
\nHill Independent School District, a well-regarded rural district serving
\neast-central Smith County. Current taxes are recorded at $27.41 for the 2025
\ntax year, reflecting the property’s rural acreage classification.<\/p>\n
The property was partially
\nlogged in 2024, but the timber story here is far from over. Beautiful, mature
\nhardwood and mixed timber remain standing along the creek drainage and
\nthroughout the acreage, providing canopy cover, natural beauty, and long-term value.
\nThe existing creek drainage runs through the property and creates an ideal low
\npoint for water retention \u2014 the agent’s assessment identifies a natural
\nopportunity to construct a pond of up to 1.5 acres, which would meaningfully
\nincrease both the recreational and agricultural utility of the land. The
\nmulcher-cleared interior trails make it easy to walk or ride a side-by-side
\nacross the entire tract, letting buyers evaluate every corner of the acreage
\nbefore making any decisions about improvements.<\/p>\n
Few 9-acre tracts come with an
\nidentified future pond site. The existing drainage system concentrates
\nnaturally in a location that lends itself to excavation and impoundment, giving
\na new owner the chance to create a private fishing pond or stock tank without
\nsignificant earthwork challenges. For those looking to build, the cleared areas
\nand tree-lined creek provide both a private setting and natural windbreak
\nsuitable for a rural home or cabin. Partial barbed wire fencing is already in
\nplace, and the unrestricted nature of the land allows buyers to expand fencing
\nfor horses, cattle, goats, or other livestock without county approval barriers.<\/p>\n
This property sits within reach
\nof Tyler, the largest city in Northeast Texas and the county seat of Smith
\nCounty, where residents enjoy a full range of dining, shopping, medical care,
\nand cultural amenities including the nationally known Tyler Municipal Rose
\nGarden, the 985-acre Tyler State Park with its 64-acre spring-fed lake and 13
\nmiles of trails, and the Caldwell Zoo. The broader East Texas Pineywoods region,d
\nwith a landscape of mixed pine and hardwood timber, creek-fed bottomlands, and
\nrolling terrain, gives this property a natural character that defines outdoor
\nlife in this part of Texas. Within easy range are First Monday Trade Days in
\nCanton, Lake Palestine for boating and fishing, and a connected network of
\nrural communities that maintain the slower pace and neighborly culture East
\nTexas has always been known for.<\/p>\n
Despite its private, rural
\nsetting, this property places buyers within a practical distance of employment
\ncenters, healthcare, and regional amenities across East Texas and beyond.<\/p>\n
