Land with Home for Sale in Italy, Texas
917 Goodwyn Rd, Italy, TX 75119
Set on 18.504 acres in Italy, Texas, just south of Ennis, this property offers much more than a renovated home on acreage. With a creek, mature trees, a substantial vintage barn, multiple outbuildings and road frontage on both Goodwyn Road and Guisler Road, the land itself creates a wide range of possibilities. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home was originally built in 1962 and has been extensively renovated inside, combining the character of an established country property with an updated interior. The layout includes generous living and dining spaces, an attached garage, and a substantial laundry and mudroom area with a dedicated dog-wash space. Outside, a large vintage barn remains in place with livestock and hay-feeding features, along with additional outbuildings and areas suitable for animals, equipment, gardens or other homestead uses. The survey also reflects multiple well improvements, including a well house. Buyer should independently verify the condition and availability of any wells. A creek winds through the acreage beneath a wooded corridor, while open areas provide room for livestock, recreation or future improvements. Mature trees around the home create a shaded, established setting. One of the most compelling features is frontage on both Goodwyn Road and Guisler Road. The second road frontage gives the far end of the property its own potential access point, opening the door to a second homesite, multigenerational setup, separate livestock area, additional improvements or a future division of the property, subject to applicable requirements and buyer due diligence. Whether the goal is a homestead, small livestock operation, family compound or country retreat, 917 Goodwyn Road offers an updated home, established rural improvements and room to make the acreage work in more than one way.
