Rock Island Lot is a 0.64± acre residential property in Rock Island, Colorado County, Texas — a wooded, private parcel with an electric water well and electricity already in place, offering a convenient foundation for a buyer looking to set a new home in a quiet East-Central Texas setting. The value here is in the land itself: mature hardwood canopy, established oaks, natural privacy, and true Texas country character less than 90 miles from Houston.
The property fronts Lupton Street in Rock Island, under a mile from the town center. Splashway Waterpark is 7± miles away, Columbus is 19± miles out, and Houston is approximately 85 miles to the east — a viable distance for buyers seeking country living within reach of the metro. The property falls within Columbus ISD.
The 0.64± acre lot delivers a heavily wooded setting with mature native hardwoods, impressive established oak trees, and a thick understory that provides excellent natural privacy and screening. Grassy clearings around the existing improvements break up the dense tree cover, creating a comfortable balance of open and wooded areas. Large shade trees add character throughout, while the surrounding native vegetation gives the property a secluded, tucked-away feel characteristic of this part of Colorado County. The terrain is generally level to gently sloping, providing usable ground beneath an established canopy — a genuinely appealing East-Central Texas setting that is hard to replicate at this price point.
An electric water well and electricity are in place at the site — meaningful utility infrastructure for a lot of this size and price point. Two storage sheds are on the property. A manufactured home is present on the lot; the property is priced as a land sale, with no assigned improvement value to the structure. A buyer acquires the lot, the utilities, the sheds, and the wooded setting — ready for their own vision.
Everything on the property conveys with the sale. With utilities already in place, mature hardwood character, and a location under 90 miles from Houston in the Columbus ISD corridor, the Rock Island Lot is a straightforward opportunity for a buyer ready to bring their own home to an established site in Colorado County.
