Land with Home for Sale in McKinney, Texas
8665 County Road 857, McKinney, TX 75071
Positioned on a hilltop to capture expansive sunset views, this remodeled (2020) modern farmhouse offers a unique blend of privacy, functionality, and long-term upside. Set on 6.8 acres in an unincorporated area outside city limits, the property benefits from an AG exemption and significantly lower tax exposure - an increasingly rare combination this close to major growth corridors.
The land is thoughtfully improved with a private pond fed by an onsite well, mature trees, and usable acreage suited for a variety of residential or recreational uses. A gated entrance welcomes you to a picturesque setting complete with a windmill, separate office or flex space, raised garden beds, and dedicated areas for seasonal planting.
Located within walking distance to West Grove development, this property sits directly in the path of continued expansion along 380, creating a compelling opportunity for both end users and those considering future positioning.
A hard-to-find combination of location, land, and flexibility—this is one you don’t see often.
