Located just outside Lindale in Smith County, this property is ideal for anyone seeking a working cattle or horse ranch, recreational getaway, or peaceful country homestead. A long private driveway lined with towering hardwoods leads you to a well-kept 2008-built manufactured home, tucked away from the road for maximum seclusion and tranquility.

With open pasture, scattered hardwoods, cross fencing, a small open-air barn with 2 foaling-sized stalls, roping setup, and incredible sunset views, this property is full of potential. Just a little TLC, and it’s ready to become your dream ranch—whether for roping, raising cattle, or simply living the country life.

Land Characteristics

The land features a mix of open pasture and mature, scattered hardwoods, providing both functional space and natural beauty. Towering shade trees offer shelter for livestock, while the layout is ideal for hay production, grazing, and recreation. The property is fenced and cross-fenced, with multiple water spigots throughout for convenient livestock management.

A spacious open-sided pole barn includes 2 foaling-size stalls and automatic waterers, and the remnants of an old roping arena—with boxes, a chute, and a calf lane still in place—can be brought back to life with minimal effort. The gently rolling terrain offers excellent drainage and panoramic views, especially at sunset, making it as beautiful as it is practical.

Utilities & Infrastructure

The centerpiece of the property is a 1,680 sq ft manufactured home built in 2008, featuring central heat and air, front and back porches, and a concrete slab foundation. A large carport provides covered parking. The home sits well off the road for privacy, surrounded by pasture and shade trees.

Water and electricity are in place, and infrastructure such as fencing, spigots, and barns make it ready for immediate agricultural use. Whether you're housing livestock, building out an equestrian operation, or creating a family farm, the groundwork is already set.

Recreational Appeal & Wildlife

In addition to its agricultural potential, this property is rich in natural beauty and wildlife. The timber and surrounding pasture provide habitat for white-tailed deer, raccoons, squirrels, and songbirds native to East Texas. You can enjoy peaceful walks, watch wildlife from the porch, or hunt your own land in season. The blend of open space and natural cover makes it a haven for outdoor lovers.
