This 10± acre tract in De Kalb, Texas sits in western Bowie County and gives a buyer a place to build and a place to hunt on the same piece of ground. Electricity and water are available at the property, which takes two of the biggest unknowns out of buying raw acreage in Northeast Texas and shortens the timeline between closing and breaking ground.

The tract is laid out with privacy in mind. A buffer of trees separates the building area from the road, screening the homesite from passing traffic while keeping access simple. Ten acres gives enough room to set a house well back off the road, add a shop or a barn, and still keep open ground behind the house.

That ground behind the homesite is the hunting side of the property. The back acreage is set up so the owner can walk out the back door and start hunting instead of loading up and driving to a lease. For a buyer who wants to slip out for an evening sit during the week, that layout is the whole appeal of owning a small recreational tract close to home.

Ten acres is a manageable size to own. It is enough ground for a homesite, a shop, and a hunting setup out back without the upkeep and time commitment that come with a larger tract, and the entry cost generally runs well under what a big recreational property takes.

There are no restrictions on this property. That flexibility leaves the door open for a site-built home, a barndominium, a shop, or a weekend cabin, and it gives room to run a few head of livestock or put in food plots on the back side. Buyers should confirm any county, utility, or septic requirements that apply to their specific plans.

De Kalb sits on US Highway 82 in western Bowie County. New Boston is roughly 10 miles east, and Texarkana is about 25 miles east for hospitals, shopping, and access to Interstate 30. Avery is about 10 miles west and Clarksville is roughly 27 miles west. Wright Patman Lake is a short drive southeast for fishing, boating, and additional public hunting on Corps of Engineers ground. The surrounding country is typical Northeast Texas timber and pasture, which is what holds game in this part of the state.

Small tracts with electricity and water already available, road access, a natural tree buffer for privacy, and huntable acreage behind the building site do not hit the market often in western Bowie County. Whether the plan is a full-time residence, a weekend place, or a recreational tract to hold and build on later, this one is worth a look.
