Land for Sale in Athens, Texas

Owning land has always been part of the Texas dream. As land, water, and infrastructure become more valuable, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find. This exceptional 10-acre property offers country living with a valuable head start. A water well, aerobic septic system, underground electric, electric meter, pipe fencing, and barn are already in place, saving significant time and expense. With approximately 390 feet of road frontage, the property features pipe fencing along the front boundary. The remaining property lines are enclosed with barbed wire fencing. Approximately two-thirds of the property is cleared, while the remaining acreage is heavily wooded, creating the perfect balance of open pasture and mature woods. Mature post oak trees offer breathtaking views, and an approximately 2-acre spring-fed pond, the home of bass and other fish, serves as the centerpiece of the property. Walk to the back and hear the sound of a spring-fed creek flowing through the trees. Deer, birds, and other native wildlife are frequent visitors, adding to the quiet beauty and natural character of the land. The property once served as a horse sanctuary for more than 200 horses and offers gently rolling terrain well suited for horses, cattle, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The back pasture provides an excellent grazing area while leaving plenty of room in the front to build your dream home. Approximately 400 square feet of the barn has already been built out for future living quarters with in-wall electrical, water rough-ins, and plumbing ready to connect to the aerobic septic system. Located in Cross Roads ISD and within an hour of Dallas, you'll enjoy peaceful country living with convenient access to shopping, dining, golf courses, Lake Athens, Cedar Creek Lake, and Richland Chambers Lake. Whether you're ready to build now or invest for the future, this property offers a rare combination of natural beauty, established infrastructure, and lasting value.
