248 Acres of Possibility in Powell, TX Ever dreamed of wide open spaces and a blank canvas with room to dream big? This 248-acre tract just outside the little town of Powell, TX might be exactly what you're looking for. Located in Navarro County and within the Powell ETJ, this land is ideal for a large-lot residential community—think 1+ acre ranchettes or custom estate homes where you can spread out and enjoy some peace and quiet. There’s already a concept plan drawn up with 14 generously-sized lots, most ranging from 11 to nearly 29 acres each. So whether you're a developer, investor, or someone who just wants to own a piece of Texas and build out your vision, this spot offers flexibility and breathing room. A few good-to-knows: the property is currently not hooked up to water or sewer, so wells and septic systems would be the go-to for any future development. The Chatfield Water Supply Corporation holds the water rights in this area, and nearby wells tend to hit water at around 30 to 40 feet deep. Little Rush Creek winds through the property, adding some beautiful natural character (and about 74 acres of FEMA floodplain), which could be great for green space or just preserving that wide-open feel. There's also a mix of active and abandoned oil and gas infrastructure on-site—nothing out of the ordinary for rural Texas—but a title survey is always a good idea to get the full picture. Access is already solid from Brookshire Street (CR 2010), and there's potential to add another entry off CR 2110 with some road improvement. And if you're wondering about future plans in the area—this property isn’t currently in the path of any major planned roads, so you get privacy and seclusion without the worry of a freeway popping up next door. Bottom line? This is a big, beautiful piece of Texas land with a ton of potential. Build it out, hold it long-term, or start designing your own little slice of country paradise.
