2601 Randell Lake Rd, Denison, TX 75020

Off-market chance to own 15 boutique acres with a small cabin in Denison, Texas. This rare in-city property is set beside one of Denison’s fastest-growing areas along HWY 75, just down the road from the highly anticipated Preston Harbor Development. It offers a unique blend of privacy, natural beauty, and modern convenience that is seldom found inside city limits.
Adorned with hardwood forest, flowing creeks, shaded trails, and protected by a Wildlife Management tax exemption, this property captures the charm of rural living while keeping you close to schools, shopping, and highway access. Around 60 percent of the acreage is covered with mature post oak, live oak, Shumard oak, Chinquapin oak, ash, and an impressive collection of pecan trees. Two clear, spring-fed creeks with limestone bottoms cross the land, meeting at a small natural waterfall—a scenic focal point that may be the only one of its kind in Grayson County. The creeks are rich with fossils, including large ammonites, adding a unique geological story to the property.
The landscape features gentle elevation changes and long, open views that invite exploration. Winding trails meander along the creeks and through the hardwood canopy, ideal for hiking, ATV riding, or simply enjoying the wildlife. Deer, bobcat, fox, owl, raptors, songbirds, and more make their home here. Texas A&M soil tests confirm deep, loamy, slightly acidic soil with the perfect texture and mineral balance for orchards, vineyards, or gardens. A vintage-style, 40-foot greenhouse rests by the creek and orchard, and wild grapes have been thriving in the area for generations.
Anchoring the improved section of the land is a professionally built, foam-insulated 40 x 50 two-story metal building, designed as a classic car man cave and equipped for versatile use. It features three oversized roll-up doors, a new RUUD HVAC system for efficient heating and cooling, 200-amp electric service with multiple 220V outlets, a heavy-duty loft with stair access, 30A exterior RV hookup, a Finnish-style dry sauna, chip-seal driveway with gated entry, bright LED strip lighting, a fenced outdoor dog run with heavy-duty pipe and mesh, and RV sewer access.
Inside, the 20 x 40 finished living space is exceptionally well insulated and beautifully completed, creating a warm, romantic cottage atmosphere. It currently serves as a weekend retreat, home office, and comfortable guest quarters. From the covered patio, you can enjoy your morning coffee with the sound of the creek, take in sunset views, or relax during an afternoon rain. If preferred, the cottage can serve as temporary housing while building a custom home on the elevated site, which is already prepared and ready.
All city utilities are in place and operational—electric, water, sewer, trash pickup, Starlink internet—and cell service is strong throughout the property. The location is unbeatable: just around the block from the new Denison High School, near the new McDaniel Middle School, and only half a mile from direct HWY 75 access.
Comparable tracts within Denison’s city limits often sell for $58K–$75K per acre and are typically raw, lacking utilities or improvements. This property offers full infrastructure, natural water features, hardwood canopy, a fully built shop with HVAC and sauna, finished cottage, and vintage greenhouse, all at $56,667 per acre with valuable tax savings.
Most of the perimeter is newly fenced, with the southern boundary naturally screened by dense hardwoods for privacy. Whether you envision it as a private retreat, investment property, or boutique estate site, this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of North Texas’s most desirable growth corridors.
