This 26-acre tract presents a rare opportunity for investment and development in a high-growth area. Located just minutes from Preston Road, the property combines natural beauty with strategic positioning, making it ideal for a wide range of future uses. The land features a private lake, mature trees, and open pasture, creating a versatile canvas for residential development, a country estate community, or a mixed-use project. Its proximity to schools, shopping, and dining—while still offering natural privacy—ensures strong appeal for both builders and end buyers. As growth continues to push northward, acreage with this level of accessibility and character is becoming increasingly scarce. Whether you’re looking to develop immediately or hold as a long-term investment, this property offers exceptional potential in the path of progress. With direct access to Preston Road just minutes away, the property is positioned in one of North Texas’s fastest-growing corridors. The blend of open pasture, mature trees, and a private lake enhances its appeal for future residential development, estate homesites, or mixed-use projects. As demand for land in the Celina and Weston area continues to rise, acreage with this level of accessibility and character is becoming increasingly scarce. Whether held for long-term appreciation or developed in the near future, this property provides investors with both immediate value and strong potential for growth.
There are no bad views from this custom house on 12+ acres carved from a larger parcel. Additional acreage is available. Meticulously maintained gently rolling pasture. Native trees and pond on property. Only 1 mile from Preston Road aka Hwy 289. Upgrades galore include 3 air conditioners, one NEW in 2023. 2 on demand hot water heaters and security system.

Great attic storage could be finished for even more space. 40 x 60 workshop has two 15 foot doors and a living area. Attic is insulated and framed for even more space. Doorways throughout are extra wide for accessibility.
