Unique Land Opportunity with Rustic Improvements – Are you Looking for a versatile property with room to create your vision? This unique offering in Van Alstyne includes a log-style two-story home and detached structures on a spacious lot just off Hwy 75—but the true value lies in the land. The main home offers 2,234 sq ft with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, featuring an open-concept layout, wood-burning stove, and an oversized upstairs bedroom with a loft. The rustic charm is undeniable, however potential buyers should be aware that the home and additional structures will require significant renovation or may be best suited for teardown, to be determined at the buyer’s discretion. Included on the property is a 737 sq ft dome-style structure with electricity, currently used as a sanctuary, and a 20’ x 20’ elevated storage building with covered space below—ideal for equipment or additional storage. This peaceful setting offers convenient access to Hwy 75 and is located within the highly rated Van Alstyne ISD, making it a prime location for a hobby farm, or a private retreat. Endless possibilities, with the flexibility to reimagine or rebuild. Come see the potential this land holds and bring your ideas to life!
