14000 Highway 31, Tyler, TX 75709

You'd never guess what's hiding behind the gates of this unique property! Situated on 8.674 acres with approximately 657 feet of frontage along Highway 31 W, this property offers an unexpected combination of privacy, acreage and convenience just minutes from Tyler. Pass through the gated entrance and follow the long asphalt drive beneath mature East Texas trees as the property opens to a large clearing, circular drive and a home tucked privately away from the highway. Recent clearing has opened portions of the wooded acreage and created walking trails that wind through the trees, giving you even more ways to explore and enjoy the property while preserving the natural surroundings and privacy. The large covered front porch overlooks the property and provides a wonderful place to sit back and enjoy the peaceful setting. Built in 2010, the approximately 1,200-square-foot home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with an open, functional floor plan. High ceilings and plenty of natural light complement the open living, dining and kitchen areas. The kitchen features solid oak cabinetry, porcelain countertops and generous storage and workspace. One bedroom includes a walk-in closet and sliding glass doors with direct access outside, while the second offers flexibility as a bedroom, guest space or home office. The oversized bathroom features a tiled zero-threshold walk-in shower, and the separate laundry room provides access to a fully floored, spray-foam-insulated attic offering excellent additional storage. Approximately 4.4 acres are outside the floodplain, with the remaining wooded acreage providing a beautiful natural buffer around the property. Convenient access to Loop 323, Toll 49 and I-20 makes getting around East Texas or heading toward the DFW area easy. With acreage, substantial highway frontage, gated access, newly created trails and a location that feels surprisingly removed from town, this is a property you truly need to experience in person!
