Hunt County- 68+/- Acres
Description
Commerce Creek | 68± Acres | Hunt County, TX
South of Commerce | FM 3218 Frontage | Additional Acreage Available
Set just minutes south of Commerce, this 68± acre property is a sanctuary of mature woods, native habitat, and natural water features. With a blend of towering hardwoods, loblolly pines, seasonal creek, and multiple ponds, the land invites both recreation and retreat.
A well-established internal road system provides exceptional access throughout the property, and over 2,100 feet of FM 3218 frontage offers convenience for future improvements. While much of the tract lies within the 100-year floodplain, approximately 5.7± acres lie outside, perfect for a homesite, cabin, or barndominium. The property benefits from a wildlife exemption, keeping taxes low and habitat intact. Additional acreage is available for those seeking a larger footprint.
The Land
This is a classic East Texas recreational tract—quiet, wooded, and rich in natural diversity. The timber stand is a healthy mix of mature hardwoods and scattered loblolly pine, with native understory and browse throughout. A creek meanders through the property, feeding two small ponds and drawing in wildlife. Whether on foot or ATV, the interior roads make it easy to explore, hunt, or simply enjoy.
The Opportunity
Commerce Creek offers a turnkey recreational or investment property with strong access, water, utilities at the road, and long-term upside. For those looking to build, hunt, escape the city, or simply hold a rare stretch of Texas dirt, this place delivers in both character and practicality.
