The first thing you see when you turn onto this ranch is the entry.
A long tree-lined drive draws you in before you ever reach the cabin. That detail alone tells you something about how this property was put together.
McKee Farm sits on 47.79 acres in Van Zandt County, just 8 miles south of I-20 and 20 minutes east of Tyler. The land rolls gently, with roughly 70 percent in improved Coastal Bermuda and Bahia pastures and the remaining acreage in clustered hardwood timber. Prairie Creek winds through those hardwoods, and two year-round stock ponds sit strategically on the property. Whether you run cattle, run horses, or just want to watch deer work the edges at dusk, the water is already there and working for you.
The cabin is 1,200 square feet of genuine craft. Hardie Board siding. Metal roof. Vaulted ceiling in the living room finished in beautiful pine boarding. A freestanding wood-burning stove anchors the living space. The kitchen is fully equipped. The bath has both a shower and a claw foot tub. Covered porches face east and catch the southern breeze. This is not a hunt-camp cabin. This is a home.
Matching the cabin in footprint, a 1,200 sq. ft. insulated metal shop with a cement floor, bright lighting, and three roll-up doors rounds out the improvements. The entire property is fenced and livestock ready, with a custom board corral in place for working stock.
And if 47.79 acres is more than you need, the seller will divide. Cabin with approximately 24 acres, or the other half with no improvements. Two paths to the same great piece of East Texas land.
