Private 11-Acre Retreat with Pond, Shop and Flexible Living!
Welcome to your private East Texas retreat—where space, flexibility, and quiet living come together on 11 beautiful acres on a cul-de-sac.
Surrounded by mature trees, open pasture, and a stocked pond tucked into the landscape, this property offers the kind of setting that’s hard to find—peaceful, usable land just minutes from town.
The single-story brick home spans over 3,200 square feet and is designed for both everyday comfort and long-term flexibility. With three bedrooms and three updated bathrooms—including two primary suites, the layout is ideal for multigenerational living, extended guests, or creating a private owner’s retreat.
Inside, you’ll find a spacious family room with fireplace, a generous dining area, and a light-filled bonus space that can easily serve as a game room, office, or second living area. Solid construction features, including 2x10 exterior walls, add to the home’s efficiency and durability.
Major updates that have already been handled for you include a metal roof on both the home and garage, a replaced aerobic septic system, and remodeled bathrooms, allowing you to focus on personalizing the space rather than tackling big-ticket items.
Step outside and the possibilities really open up. The property includes:
A detached 20x30 garage-workshop with electric,
chicken coop with enclosed pen,
fenced acreage ready for animals, gardening, or recreation, and
a mix of open and wooded land offering both usability and privacy
Whether you’re looking to create a homestead, need space for hobbies or equipment, or simply want room to breathe, this property delivers a rare combination of land, layout, and long-term value.
Opportunities like this—11 acres, functional improvements, and flexible living space—don’t come along often in this price range.
Directions: From Hwy 80 in Forney, take I-20 East toward Tyler. Continue approximately 40 miles and take Exit 528 for FM 17 / Grand Saline. Turn left (north) onto FM 17 and continue for approximately 14 miles. Turn right onto VZ County Road 1711. Property is located on the right.
