Lakefront Living Meets Development Potential – 53 Acres on Lake Tawakoni, Quinlan, TX

Description

Location & Setting - Owner Financing Available

Located just outside Quinlan, TX, and only one hour east of Dallas, this expansive tract sits along the scenic shoreline of Lake Tawakoni — one of Texas’ premier fishing and recreational lakes. The property is positioned with paved frontage along a Farm-to-Market road, offering excellent access for residential, recreational, or commercial development.

Lake Access & SRA Leaseback

A rare feature of this offering is its 41 acres of leaseback land from the Sabine River Authority (SRA), which significantly increases usable space and lake accessibility.

• The 53 acres of fee simple (deeded) land gives you full ownership for development.

• The 41 acres of SRA leaseback provides valuable shoreline access, making this property eligible for a private dock or pier (subject to SRA approval).

• This creates a unique opportunity for buyers to enjoy and develop nearly 100 acres of lakefront land — something rarely available on Lake Tawakoni.

This property is development-ready, with key infrastructure already in place:

• Water and electric utilities available at the road

• Two ponds on the property add to its scenic value and provide potential for livestock, recreation, or aesthetics in a residential setting

• A balance of cleared areas and wooded sections supports both privacy and development flexibility

• The land is ideal for everything from estate homes and ranchettes to resorts, retreats, or mixed-use development
