4.38 Acres in Flower Mound (Yes, You Can Have a Horse)

This one just went live, and it’s a little different than what you usually see in this part of Flower Mound.

The property is 4.38 acres on Hawk Road, asking $1.249M. The size matters, because it’s large enough to allow a horse on the property under current city rules.

If you’ve spent any time looking in Flower Mound, you already know how rare that is. Most listings are either smaller acreage that won’t qualify, or much larger tracts that come with a very different price tag.

The value here is in the land. That’s the honest way to say it.

There is an existing house on the property, but most buyers will be looking at this as a future new-build site.

Between planning, design, permitting, and approvals, it’s not unusual for that process to take a year or more anyway. Because of that, the seller’s situation is unlikely to slow a serious buyer down.

The seller will need a leaseback on the existing house for up to one year (at no rent) while they locate and purchase a new home. They fully intend to move sooner if possible.

Importantly, the seller is not opposed to a buyer beginning construction on a new home during the leaseback period, subject to city approval, as long as the existing house remains accessible.

That flexibility is a big part of why we don’t see this as a deal killer for the right buyer.

From a practical standpoint, many buyers would not be able to take possession and start building immediately anyway. This simply aligns the timeline with reality.

A new survey will be required, and the survey will be a buyer’s expense with an acceptable offer. The seller will retain any minerals owned and will execute a surface waiver.

If you’re an agent, please review the full offer guidelines before submitting. If you’re a buyer, your agent should already be walking you through those details. Either way, it will save everyone time and prevent misunderstandings.

That’s not a suggestion.

The seller is still living there, and we intend to keep disruptions to a minimum. Showing instructions are available and should be followed exactly.

This is one of those listings where the details matter. The acreage matters. The leaseback matters. If you understand how those pieces fit together, this is a very compelling opportunity in an area where land like this almost never comes up.

And if you’re looking for a place in Flower Mound where you can build, have room, and even keep a horse, this is one you should not ignore.
