A rare 14.6-acre opportunity in the city limits of Denison offering both current agricultural use and proposed single-family residential zoning with the city. Ideal property for investors, developers, or anyone wanting to hold income-producing land while the Denison future takes shape. Surrounded by mature trees and wide-open spaces, this acreage includes a private pond, multiple homes, and a barn or shop ready for immediate use. The main home sits near the front of the property and needs repair, giving new owners the freedom to restore or replace it with a vision that fits the land’s full potential. A separate casita home is currently occupied, allowing for steady rental income or use as a caretaker’s residence. The barn-shop provides practical storage and workspace for equipment, livestock, or hobby projects, and could easily support ongoing agricultural operations. For developers, the groundwork is already in motion with the city’s proposed zoning for residential use. For investors, the land’s flexibility makes it a strong short- and long-term hold—rent out the homes for cash flow while planning future development, or lease the land for agricultural use to keep it income-producing with minimal oversight. The property’s natural beauty is undeniable: scattered trees, open pastures, and a tranquil pond offer a setting that feels private yet connected. With ample road frontage and easy access to nearby city utilities and infrastructure, this tract holds exceptional potential for either a rural homestead, small subdivision, or multi-use investment. A property that delivers what North Texas buyers are searching for—usable acreage, income potential, and the kind of versatility that’s getting harder to find near growing Denison.
