5357 Fm 344 Tyler, TX 75703

Property Overview
This 31-acre farm and ranch tract in Smith County, Texas sits along FM 344 approximately two miles east of Bullard and 15 miles south of Tyler. The property combines open pasture, rolling hardwood-covered terrain, and a natural spring in a configuration well suited for a primary homesite, small cattle or horse operation, or a combination of both. A municipal waterline and electrical service are available at the FM 344 road boundary, and roughly one-quarter mile of frontage runs along the county road. Sandy loam soils and improved grasses underlie the open ground. An agricultural exemption is currently in place, carrying over to the new owner without delay or application.

Land & Terrain

The tract carries genuine topographic relief. The terrain rises from the FM 344 frontage in the southeast to a pronounced hilltop in the north-central portion of the property, where contour lines tighten and elevation becomes a tangible planning asset. That high ground provides canopy, sightlines, and a natural homesite position well removed from road grade. Hardwood timber cover concentrates across the western and northern portions of the tract, transitioning to more open improved pasture ground as the land descends toward the road. Sandy loam soils underlie the property throughout.

Water Features

A natural spring feeds the north corner of the property and functions as a year-round water source for livestock, wildlife, or home site planning. A pond is also present on the tract. Together, these two on-site water sources reduce infrastructure cost and add meaningful value for any agricultural or residential use. The spring, in particular, is an asset that does not appear on every tract in this part of Smith County, and its reliability makes it a practical planning anchor for whoever builds or operates here.

Wildlife & Recreation

White-tailed deer and native wildlife move through the hardwood bottom with regularity. The combination of open pasture, spring water, and timber canopy creates a natural travel corridor and forage zone that supports a resident deer population. A family interested in managing for white-tailed deer alongside a working land operation will find the habitat components already functioning.

Agricultural Use & Tax Status

The property currently carries an agricultural exemption, which transfers to the new owner and delivers immediate tax savings at closing. No waiting period, no application process. Sandy loam soils and improved grasses support grazing, and the open ground is well suited for horses or light cattle operations. The combination of existing ag exemption, improved pasture, spring water, and a pond means a new owner can begin operating from day one.

Access & Infrastructure

Approximately one-quarter mile of FM 344 frontage provides clean, direct highway access to the tract. A large municipal waterline runs along the county road, and electrical service is available at the boundary, reducing the cost and complexity of developing a home site. No well drilling or septic workarounds required to get water and power to a building pad. The hilltop position gives a builder multiple siting options while keeping infrastructure runs short from the road.

Location & Proximity

The property is two miles east of Bullard, a small city in southern Smith County with established commercial services, schools, and a growing residential base. Tyler, the commercial and medical hub of East Texas, is approximately 15 miles north. Dallas is roughly 112 miles to the west, keeping this tract within range of metropolitan buyers without sacrificing the rural character that makes Smith County land worth owning. East Texas farm and ranch land along FM 344 in this corridor has held consistent appeal among both working operators and families relocating from urban areas, and tracts of this size with on-site water and utility access at the road are not common inventory in southern Smith County.
