The approximately 600-square-foot log cabin is soundly built and features an excellent metal roof, making it an ideal starting point for a weekend getaway, hunting cabin, private retreat, or future homestead. The property’s entrance is equally memorable. A gated driveway and quaint covered bridge spanning the pond create a private, storybook-style approach to the cabin that you simply don’t find on ordinary vacant land.

With 12 acres to explore, there is plenty of room for recreation, gardening, livestock, additional improvements, or simply enjoying your own piece of the countryside. Approximately 0.42 acres is occupied by the pond, adding both character and recreational appeal while providing a natural focal point for the property, not to mention a great watering hole for wildlife. If you enjoy the outdoors, this property offers the kind of setting that makes rural Texas so appealing. The surrounding area is known for abundant whitetail deer, wild hogs, and other wildlife, while the property’s combination of timber, open ground, and water creates an attractive natural environment. Whether you’re looking for a place to hunt, explore, relax, or simply escape the city, this property gives you plenty of possibilities.

One of the biggest advantages here is the freedom. There is no zoning and no HOA, giving you considerably more flexibility in how you use the property. Whether your vision is a private country retreat, hunting getaway, homestead, recreational property, or something else, you have the freedom to make the land your own. The land also offers a flat, partially cleared homesite area with no floodplain or wetlands, making it a practical property in addition to being a beautiful one.

Getting here is easy too, with legal and physical access from FM 80 via driveway. Utilities are another major advantage: power available along the road, private well and septic system already on-site. That combination can save you significant time, expense, and uncertainty compared with starting from a completely raw piece of land.

Despite the peaceful rural setting, you’re only 5 minutes to Teague & groceries, less than 15 minutes to Mexia’s Walmart and other shopping, 24 minutes to Fort Parker Lake & State Park. exactly one hour to Waco, and 1 hour 26 minutes to Dallas. You can enjoy the peace and privacy of country living while keeping everyday necessities within an easy drive.

If you’ve been looking for an affordable piece of Texas where you can slow down, get outdoors, build your own retreat, and enjoy the freedom of unrestricted land, this 12-acre Freestone County property deserves a serious look. Come see what makes this one so special and then make it yours at an unbeatable Acretown price!

WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).

DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable useage for the property. We are happy to help however we can. Hundreds of buyers have successfully purchased land from Acretown. This simple reservation just holds the property while you review the agreement.
