Property Description
Rare opportunity to own a spacious single-story home on approximately 1.5 acres in rapidly growing Forney, Texas! Offering nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, this versatile property features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and the flexibility today's buyers are searching for. Inside, you'll find an expansive floorplan with generous living areas, spacious bedrooms, and plenty of room for multi-generational living, a home office, hobby space, or growing households. The single-story design provides convenience and functionality while maximizing everyday comfort. Outside is where this property truly shines. Situated on 1.5 acres, there is ample space for outdoor entertaining, gardening, recreational vehicles, equipment storage, or simply enjoying the privacy and freedom that comes with acreage living. The detached workshop is a tremendous bonus and includes space for 3 additional vehicles, making it ideal for contractors, hobbyists, car enthusiasts, small business owners, or anyone needing extra storage and workspace. Major updates have already been completed, including a recently replaced septic system, providing peace of mind for years to come. Even better, enjoy the freedom of NO HOA along with a low 1.7513% tax rate and NO MUD or PID taxes, helping keep your monthly ownership costs lower than many competing properties. With acreage becoming increasingly difficult to find and development continuing to expand throughout the Forney area, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for both immediate enjoyment and long-term value. Whether you're looking for room to spread out, space to work from home, or a property with future equity potential, this one deserves a spot at the top of your list. Don't miss your chance to own a unique property with endless possibilities in one of the fastest-growing areas of North Texas. Properties offering acreage, a workshop, no HOA, low taxes, and future growth potential are becoming increasingly rare.
