Land for Sale in Tyler, Texas

East Texas Timberland for Sale in Smith County - Swan

Community Between Tyler and Lindale

For the first time ever, nearly

48 acres of mixed timber in the heart of the East Texas Piney Woods is available in the Swan community of Smith County. This 47.882-acre tract sits halfway between Tyler and Lindale with over 2,200 combined linear feet of road frontage on two county roads, a creek winding through the timber, a small pond, and trails already cut throughout the property. Served by Lindale Rural Water and Oncor Electric, this wooded acreage delivers the infrastructure buyers need and the seclusion East Texas land is known for. Whether you're an investor evaluating a transitional corridor, a developer studying the growth path between two thriving cities, or a family ready to build your homestead under a canopy of native pine and hardwood--this property has waited a long time for the right buyer.

Mixed Timber, Creek, Pond and Trail Access in Smith County

Every acre of this property is covered in mixed timber characteristic of the East Texas Piney Woods--loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, post oak, blackjack oak, sweetgum, hickory, and other native hardwoods that thrive in the sandy loam soils of Smith County. Trails have been cut through the timber, giving immediate access to the interior of the tract for walking, scouting, or planning your next move. A creek runs through the property, feeding a small pond and creating the kind of natural water features that attract wildlife and add value to any rural holding. The terrain is gently rolling, typical of the Piney Woods uplands, and the full timber canopy provides shade, privacy, and a natural buffer from the outside world. This is 100% wooded land--a blank canvas with the bones of something exceptional already in place.

Dual Road Frontage on County Road 468 and County Road 469

Access is one of the strongest features of this tract. The property offers approximately 597 linear feet of frontage along County Road 468, locally known as Swan Lake Road, and approximately 1,620 linear feet of frontage along County Road 469. That dual-road configuration provides multiple entry points, flexible site planning for potential subdivision or development, and the kind of visibility that adds value in a transitional corridor. County Road 468 connects directly to U.S.

Highway 69, the primary north-south artery linking Tyler and Lindale, while

Interstate 20 sits just a short distance to the north. That proximity places this acreage squarely between Dallas to the west and Shreveport to the east--positioned at the crossroads of two major regional economies.

Utilities, Zoning and Land Use Considerations

This 47.882-acre tract is served by Lindale Rural Water and Oncor Electric--two essential utilities already in place that eliminate a major hurdle for buyers planning to build, develop, or improve the land. The property is located in Smith County outside the city limits of any municipality, which means no city taxes and fewer regulatory layers for rural landowners. The tract does fall within the Tyler, Texas

Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), and buyers should be aware that subdivision regulations may apply depending on intended use. For investors and developers, the ETJ designation signals that this corridor is on the growth radar of one of East Texas's largest cities--exactly the kind of positioning that drives long-term land value.

Investment and Development Potential Between Tyler and Lindale

The corridor between Tyler and

Lindale along U.S. Highway 69 has seen steady growth as both cities expand northward and southward, respectively. This 47.882-acre tract sits in that transitional zone where rural land is increasingly surrounded by residential development, commercial activity, and infrastructure improvements. Tyler's population exceeds 105,000, and Lindale continues to attract new residents drawn by its entertainment district, school system, and proximity to I-20. Dual road frontage on two county roads gives this property the flexibility developers look for--multiple access points, divisible acreage, and utility service already established. For investors with a longer horizon, the combination of first-time availability, timber value, water features, and a location between two growing cities makes this tract a compelling hold in a market where large wooded parcels near infrastructure are becoming harder to find.

Build Your East Texas Homestead on Nearly 48 Wooded Acres

Not every buyer is looking at spreadsheets. Some are looking for the place where they'll build a home tucked into the pines, raise a garden in the East Texas clay, and let the kids grow up with room to run. This property delivers that life without sacrificing convenience. Nearly 48 acres of timber provides the privacy and elbow room that rural living demands, while the short drive to Tyler or Lindale keeps grocery stores, medical care, schools, and restaurants within easy reach. The existing trails make it simple to walk the property and find the right homesite--maybe overlooking the creek, maybe on the high ground where a porch can catch the morning light through the pines. Water and electric are already available at the road, so you're not starting from scratch. You're starting from a strong foundation.
