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.
