Nestled just outside the vibrant and fast-growing community of Terrell, Texas, this extraordinary 104.0-acre property in Mallard Lake Estates presents a rare and powerful combination of natural beauty, prime location, and development potential. Situated in Kaufman County, near the scenic and desirable Poetry community, the land offers an ideal canvas for developers, investors, or private buyers seeking space, flexibility, and long-term value in one of North Texas’s most dynamic growth corridors.
Located just minutes from several major highways—State Highway 34, Highway 276, U.S. Highway 80, and Interstate 20—this property boasts seamless connectivity to Terrell, Forney, Rockwall, and the entire Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Whether you're envisioning a residential community, a ranch retreat, or a strategic hold for future appreciation, the property’s location offers direct access to key transportation routes that support both commuting and commerce.
Just as important as its location is the property’s unincorporated and unzoned status. This rare designation allows for exceptional land use flexibility, opening the door to a broad range of potential applications—from residential subdivisions, estate lots, or agricultural use, to recreational or commercial development. The open zoning creates a true “blank slate” for your vision.
At the heart of this remarkable property lies a private lake, providing not only breathtaking natural beauty but also functional and recreational value. Complemented by a smaller pond and gently rolling topography, the land offers expansive views, multiple elevated building sites, and a peaceful rural setting. Whether you’re imagining an equestrian estate, private ranch, or luxury residential development, the setting is tranquil and inspiring.
The mix of open pastures and mature trees enhances both the aesthetic and agricultural value of the land. These features make the property perfectly suited for those seeking a serene lifestyle property, or developers looking to craft a community that blends nature with modern living.
The property is supported by existing utilities, making it ready for near-term development or continued agricultural use:
Water Service: Provided by Able Springs Special Utility District, ensuring a reliable and scalable water source.
Electricity: Readily available in the area.
Survey: A current boundary survey is available to streamline due diligence and development planning.
Agricultural Lease: An active lease provides immediate income potential and potential tax advantages through agricultural valuation.
The land features three public access points, providing multiple entry options—ideal for subdivision development or multi-phase land use plans. These access points also enhance usability for commercial or mixed-use applications.
The property is located in a region that is experiencing significant residential and commercial expansion. Kaufman County and the greater Terrell area have become a magnet for developers, thanks to their proximity to the DFW Metroplex and the increasing demand for affordable housing and strategically located land.
Adding to the long-term value is the property’s proximity to Hunt Oil Company’s 800+/-acre tract, located directly across the road. As one of the most prominent landowners in the area, Hunt Oil’s presence signals strong confidence in the regional market and suggests potential for future coordinated development and increased surrounding property values.
