    Back For More

    My Rochelle Cannon tract is back in MLS. If you’ve been looking for a unique homesite check it out at the link below or let your agent know it’s MLS# 21398700.

    39.66 acres on Rochelle Cannon Rd outside Whitewright. Over 1,300 feet of frontage. Convenient to US 75 and Sherman, including the chip plants. Asking $30K per acre for the whole thing, and it can be divided if that fits better. Up to three water meters available.

    This isn’t for everyone. Creek beds that actually shape the land instead of just decorating it. Mature oaks. Ground that isn’t flat, isn’t tidy, and doesn’t hand you a blank canvas to do whatever you want with.

    Most people want the opposite of that. Flat, easy, predictable. Land you can plan on a napkin.

    This isn’t that tract, and that’s ok.

    The buyer for this one usually knows it fairly quickly. You either want something that stays different over time, or you want something you can move fast and cheap on. Both are reasonable. They’re just not the same buyer.

    If you looked at this the first time around and it didn’t work out, whatever the reason, it’s back. Might be worth taking another look.

    Photos, aerials, and property details are below.

    If you’d like to walk the property, text me at 214.354.3583 and I’ll give you the gate code. Or have your agent reach out.

    Nothing’s Final ‘Til the Dirt Turns

    If you live in North Texas, you know two things: people are always moving here, and traffic keeps getting worse.

    The cities, counties, and state can’t build roads fast enough to keep up. And in my line of work—land and lot sales—knowing what roads are planned is part of the job.

    Property owners near these proposed roads usually know something’s coming. Once word gets out, their price expectations go up—sometimes way up.

    But here’s the catch: just because a road is “planned” doesn’t mean it’s happening any time soon—or at all. Projected dates mean nothing if the money’s not there. And politics can shift everything: the timeline, the location, or whether it gets built at all.

    Case in point: the Collin County Outer Loop. It was first announced back in 2010. A few segments are driveable now. The rest? Still on paper.

    One of my clients bought land near the “technically preferred alignment” not long ago—well after that 2010 route was released. Fifteen years passed with very little movement. Then, just last month, the county came out with four updated alternatives. Good news: all four ran right by our property. Even better news: it was in a prime spot, potentially on the corner.

    So we celebrated—too soon.

    Turns out, those four aren’t final. The alignment could still change. And until it’s locked in, we can’t sell. The value depends entirely on where that road ends up.

    Another property I handled had a highway interchange announced on it. One proposed route would’ve made the land worthless. The other? Worth millions. Thankfully, it went our way—but it was a stressful ride.

    Bottom line: until the dirt is turning, nobody really knows. Not the government, not the engineers, not the landowners—nobody.

    Sure, it helps to have the best info you can get. Just don’t bet the farm on it.
