Homes With Acreage For Sale in Athens TX
Sorry we are experiencing system issues. Please try again.
As more and more folks look to escape the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, interest in homes with acreage for sale in Athens TX specifically, as well as Henderson County and East Texas in general, seems to have increased.
There are plenty of reasons to want to get the hell out of Dallas and the greater metroplex. Traffic, taxes and too much noise just to name a few. You can’t hardly go any further north without being in Oklahoma. Go west and you’re still in Fort Worth. There’s still some space south of Dallas but are they ever going to be finished with I35 and I45?
East and Southeast seem to be where pine trees, rolling hills, lakes and hunting become easier to come by. There are plenty of homes with acreage for sale in Athens TX and other areas of Henderson County.
Out of Town But Close to Home
For those who want still want the control that a subdivision can bring, there’s Water’s Edge just north of Athens Tx on state highway 19 as well as Safari Waters between Athens and LaRue on highway 175. There’s also Pinnacle Club for the golfers out there and to get super elite, Long Cove offers a full-service marina, hiking and biking trails, fishing ponds, beach volleyball, tennis, lakeside bonfire pits, and a resort-style pool and water slide. There’s also a play field for sports of all kinds, a toy barn, an executive golf course and full driving range designed by Tripp Davis that includes a putting green designed by David Zinkand.
But really, those are still citified properties, they’re just “out of town”.
