5 Texas Acreage Retreats and Dream-Home Sites from Prosper to Linden

Set on approximately 24.78 acres along a paved county road in Collinsville, this long-held tract balances ease of access with a sense of privacy. Mature oak trees mix with large cedar, creating a varied canopy and the kind of terrain hunters appreciate—signs of wildlife have been spotted while walking the land. On the east side, a small seasonal creek threads through the property, adding a natural boundary and quiet seasonal character. Fencing is in good condition on three sides, and about 350 feet off the road a small clearing—roughly one-tenth of an acre—offers a practical spot for an RV. With no HOA and no FEMA flood zone designation, the setting feels open and unencumbered, with Collinsville ISD noted for schools. It reads as a place to spend weekends outdoors or plan something more secluded over time.

Along the water’s edge in Wills Point, this working horse ranch unfolds across approximately 25 ag acres, pairing a 2016 farmhouse-style barndo with the everyday ease of a purpose-built setup. The metal exterior and heavy steel frame are accented by stone, echoing the land’s practical beauty. Equestrian amenities include a barn with tack room, workshop area, stalls, paddocks, an overhang for equipment, a ranch hand room with plumbing, and an arena. Three ponds and a winding creek weave through rolling terrain, creating riding trails and views across pasture, with roughly 3,252 feet of road frontage. Inside, the great room centers on a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace beneath 20-foot knotty pine ceilings and stained concrete floors. Four bedrooms include a split master, and covered front and back porches frame creek and pasture outlooks. Easy access to Hwy 80 and I-20 keeps lake country close at hand.

Set on a tree-filled 3/4+ acre parcel in Colleyville’s Brighton Oaks, this property offers a rare chance to create a custom home in a neighborhood with no HOA and a true large-lot feel. The setting balances a country-quiet rhythm—room for kids to play, and even the option for a private pool—with everyday convenience in the Dallas–Fort Worth area. The lot is described as ready for new construction, following a mid-1970s vintage home built by the original owners and held for over 50 years, now part of an estate. A well is already in place and was previously set up as a sprinkler system, alongside the mature trees that are increasingly hard to find in North Texas. With excellent Grapevine/Colleyville schools nearby and minutes from DFW International Airport, daily life can stay grounded while travel stays easy.

From its ridge-top setting outside Linden, this custom-built four-bedroom home unfolds across more than 14 acres, framed in Texas White Limestone rock and wide-open views. Inside, vaulted ceilings rise to 18 feet, lending an airy scale to a chef’s kitchen finished with high-end appliances, quartz countertops, and custom cabinetry. Three fireplaces—two wood-burning and one with gas logs—add warmth and rhythm throughout the living spaces. Outdoors, a wraparound porch brings all-day shade, while an expansive back patio with its own fireplace sets the scene for quiet evenings overlooking the landscape. Practicality is woven in: solid wood doors, scored concrete floors, a steel roof, and R-30 insulation, plus two water sources (city water and a 730-foot well) and a backup generator. A safe room doubles as a fifth bedroom, and a separate 1,800-square-foot shop includes a full apartment for extended family.

Outdoor living takes a leading role on the extended patio, outfitted with remote-controlled patio shades and outdoor speakers—an inviting setup for relaxed afternoons and casual entertaining. Throughout, the home balances elegance and comfort in a way that feels polished yet approachable. Lakewood rounds out the experience with resort-style amenities and the benefit of Prosper ISD, making daily routines feel a little more like a retreat.
