Quiet East Texas Land to Call Home

Land Description

This property is located on Sherwood Forest Drive in Galahad Estates, a wooded residential community in Ivanhoe, Tyler County. The setting is quiet and rural, with natural tree cover and dirt-road access that fits well with the surrounding neighborhood. The area is known for its low-density residential layout and slower pace, making it appealing for those looking to build a permanent home away from busier corridors.

Utilities are a strong advantage here. Both electric service and water service are available, which can reduce upfront planning compared to more remote tracts. The zoning supports single-family residential use, and RV use is permitted while building, offering flexibility during the construction phase. The property is within a floodplain, which is an important consideration for build planning and something we're happy to explain in more detail.

Ivanhoe sits in East Texas, an area known for its forests, lakes, and outdoor recreation. While the immediate neighborhood feels tucked away, nearby towns provide access to everyday services, local stores, and regional travel routes. This balance between privacy and access is one of the reasons buyers look in this part of Tyler County.

If you're unfamiliar with Galahad Estates or want to understand how this parcel fits into the larger community, reaching out before visiting is helpful. We can explain access, utilities, HOA details, and what to expect when you're on site.
