## Description

### Agent Description
If you've been dreaming about slowing down, spreading out, and reconnecting with nature, this peaceful 10-acre property in the gated community of River Point may be exactly what you've been searching for. Located just minutes from Richland Chambers Lake and conveniently off Highway 287, the property offers the perfect balance of quiet country living and easy access to nearby amenities. The land features a beautiful mix of open spaces, scattered trees, and varying terrain, creating both character and privacy. As you move toward the riverfront portion of the property, the views open up to the Trinity River, where peaceful water views and untouched natural surroundings create a truly relaxing setting. Imagine enjoying your morning coffee while watching the sunrise over the riverbanks or winding down in the evenings beneath colorful Texas sunsets and star-filled skies. Mostly cleared and ready for your vision, this property would make an ideal homesite for a custom home, weekend retreat, or small ranch setup. Horses and cows are permitted within the subdivision, giving you the freedom to enjoy a true country lifestyle with room to roam. As a bonus, the sellers have installed a driveway and culvert for a money saver already! Nature lovers will appreciate the abundant wildlife, nearby protected parks, and the Trinity River Boat Ramp located less than half a mile away for easy access to boating, fishing, and outdoor adventures. This is more than just land-it's a chance to enjoy the slower pace, serenity, and natural beauty of Texas country living.
