About This Home

Nearly one acre with city water and city sewer already in place in the heart of Post Oak Bend. That combination is rare in this corridor and makes this lot ready for your vision from day one. No well to drill. No septic to install. Just bring your builder and your plans. The existing 2-bedroom home is being sold strictly as-is and offers a starting point for renovation or removal. The real opportunity here is the land itself. At just under one acre, there is room to build the home you actually want with space to breathe, mature trees for shade and privacy, and a peaceful setting that still puts you minutes from the Kaufman town square, local schools, and Highway 175 for easy access to the metroplex. Kaufman ISD. No HOA. Low taxes. The kind of property that rarely comes available with utilities already confirmed. Buyers and buyer agents responsible for all due diligence. Property sold as-is. Owner has never occupied. Please include POF, SD, LBP, and T47-1 with all offers. Schedule showings through BrokerBay. Go and show anytime.
