7697 US Highway 271 North, Gilmer, TX 75644 For Sale

This 11.6-acre East Texas property presents a rare opportunity for investors and owner-operators seeking a flexible, mixed-use asset with strong development potential. Located outside city limits with valuable highway frontage, the property offers excellent visibility, accessibility, and minimal restrictions—making it well-suited for a variety of commercial or residential applications.

Positioned less than 2 miles from Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area and approximately 8 miles from downtown Gilmer, the location benefits from steady recreational traffic and growing demand for short-term rentals, RV accommodations, and outdoor-focused developments.

The property is already equipped with key infrastructure, including utilities on site and three commercial-sized septic systems installed in 2025, significantly reducing upfront development costs and timelines. Existing improvements include a ±1,200 square foot shop building (built in 2004) with LED lighting, washer and dryer connections, and a restroom, as well as a ±588 square foot cabin (built in 2020) configured as a 1-bedroom, 1-bath space with kitchenette—ideal for on-site living, office use, or immediate rental potential.

With usable acreage, a pond, and multiple build-out options, the property supports a wide range of strategies including RV park development, cabin rentals, live/work use, or long-term investment hold. Opportunities with this level of flexibility, infrastructure, and location advantages are increasingly limited in the East Texas market.
