    About this House

    Motivated Seller – Rare Neches River Frontage Just Minutes from Tyler Now is your chance to own an exceptional 18+ acre recreational retreat in Van Zandt County with Neches River frontage, AG/timber exemption, and property taxes of only $25 per year. Opportunities like this—river access, abundant wildlife, and proximity to town—are becoming increasingly hard to find. Located less than 10 miles from Tyler (Loop 323 and I-20), this East Texas property offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Heavily wooded with multiple creeks and a scenic slough along the northern boundary, the land provides outstanding cover, natural beauty, and prime habitat for wildlife. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the excellent hunting and fishing. Trophy whitetail deer (bucks up to 140” reported), year-round hog hunting, and strong duck hunting along the sloughs, creeks, and river make this a true sportsman’s retreat. The Neches River delivers fantastic fishing, including spring sand bass runs from Lake Palestine, along with crappie, catfish, hybrid bass, black bass, and more. The layout is ideal for multiple blinds or tree stands. Access is easy with County Road 279 frontage, plus a private dirt road leading directly into the property. With no known restrictions, this land is well-suited for a weekend getaway, long-term recreational use, or a legacy property to pass down for generations. River frontage, low taxes, and this location—at this size—are rare. Sellers are motivated and ready to make a deal. Don’t miss the opportunity to secure your own piece of East Texas before it’s gone.

I’ve reached out to the owners but they are no help either."
