Located in Chisum ISD, the property combines the space and privacy of country living with convenient access to the shopping, dining, schools, and everyday amenities of Paris. With approximately 623 feet of paved FM road frontage, utilities accessible from the road, and a survey already on file, much of the groundwork is in place for the next owner. The acreage provides plenty of room for a custom home, shop, barn, garden, livestock, or recreational space while still maintaining the privacy buyers are looking for in a country property.

The FM 1497 area is known for productive Houston black soils, native grasses, pasture and hay production, adding to the property's appeal for those wanting usable acreage around their future home. And country living here doesn't mean being far removed from town. Enjoy easy access to Paris for local restaurants, shopping, healthcare, and community events, along with nearby outdoor recreation. The Paris area offers the Trail de Paris, Lake Crook, parks and sports facilities, while Pat Mayse Lake provides nearly 6, 000 acres of water for fishing, boating, camping, swimming, and other outdoor recreation. Whether your plans include building a private homestead with room to spread out, establishing a small farm or ranchette, or investing in acreage with future residential development potential, this FM 1497 property offers a combination of location, accessibility and versatility that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Paris.
