Emerald Isle Estate is a 27.5-acre private country property in Smith County, Texas, near Arp in the East Texas Pineywoods, where mature loblolly pine and mixed softwood close in around you the moment you turn down the 600-foot wood-fenced entry drive. The land rolls gently across sandy loam soils with heavy timber coverage throughout, and barbwire fencing runs the perimeter. The 2,914 square foot two-story residence built in 2008 opens into vaulted ceilings that give the main living space real volume and presence. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the main living area through East Texas winters, and the kitchen and living flow together in an open combination with a breakfast bar built for people who cook and gather. Covered and open decks with guttering bring the outside in and give you a reason to stay on the porch long after supper. The two-car garage connects directly to the house. Outside, a greenhouse, workshop, and two storage buildings are in place for the real work of country living. Established raised-bed gardens are ready for the next growing season, and a small open pasture provides flexibility for horses or light livestock. White-tailed deer and native songbirds move through the wooded acreage year-round. For the family that wants to grow food, keep animals, and live deep in the East Texas Pineywoods with real privacy around them, this property is built and ready for that life. An agricultural exemption is in place. Arp is a few minutes away, Tyler is under 30 minutes, Longview is about 35 minutes, and Dallas is under 2 hours. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) is about 35 minutes and East Texas Regional Airport (GGG) is about 30 minutes.
