A modern shipping-container home sits on a large piece of Lone Star land ripe with possibilities.

“It’s a recreational piece of property in the sense that you can hunt, you can ride an ATV, it’s endless,” says Brandi Freeman, who is representing the listing with Kathie Franklin and agent Jordan Hall.

Roughly two hours north of Dallas, the 153-acre spread in Wolfe City, TX—and the new container home on it—are available for $1,579,997.

Freeman notes it’s the sort of property that somebody with a “vision and a dream for their family” could use to make lots of memories. The land is being sold as one parcel but could be subdivided if a buyer desires, she says.

That process of memory making can begin immediately, because the one-bedroom, one-bath container home is fully furnished and ready for move in.

“Everything you see in the pictures would stay with the home,” Freeman says. “The only thing that’s not furnished is kitchen gadgets like pots and pans.”

Backcountry Containers, which has been featured on HGTV, built the custom home. It was added to the property to enhance what would otherwise be just a parcel of land.

“We were brainstorming how we could stand out from our competitors and make the property more appealing to the buyer,” Freeman says. “We thought putting a container home on the property would help bring the vision and make a dream a reality. It’s basically saying, ‘All you have to do is show up with your truck and your hunting equipment, and you’re good to go.’”

There is currently no power or water on the property, but both are available.

“It does have a generator, a composting toilet, and water tank, so it’s fully operable if you go out there,” Freeman explains. “You wouldn’t have to do anything but show up and turn the generator on, and you’re ready to go.”

The large acreage offers enough room for just about anything.

“We’re trying to market it as a hunting property,” Freeman notes. “Whatever your sports-enthusiast family wants, you could do. It’s one of those sportsman’s paradise kinds of things. The sky’s the limit. There’s plenty of room for an ATV to run all over the property, and there are trails cut out for that.”

The pond on the property isn’t currently stocked, but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t become an angler’s paradise.

“It’s a bit low right now and doesn’t have any fish stock in it; but with a little bit of work, it could be a fully functional pond,” Freeman says.

The land’s 70-mile proximity to metro Dallas is another of its inviting perks.

“It’s the perfect [distance] if somebody wanted to commute into work, they could do that—or if they wanted to just go for a quick weekend getaway,” Freeman says. “Even if they wanted to pick up their kids after school and go shoot a few rounds after school for a few hours, it would be ideal.”
