Your Callender Lake Retreat

Callender Lake is one of East Texas's best-kept secrets — a fully gated, private lake community in Van Zandt County that feels more like a resort than a subdivision, and this 0.18-acre lot on Dogwood Drive puts you right in the middle of everything it has to offer. At 510 feet of elevation, this is the highest-situated Texas lot in Gateway's entire portfolio, giving the property a naturally elevated, breezy character that makes every day here feel like an escape.

The lot delivers 7,841 square feet of perfectly level, paved-road-accessible land with a tidy and consistent 70 by 112-foot footprint. A 690 square foot minimum home size makes this one of the most flexible build thresholds in the Texas lineup, welcoming compact cottages and cozy retreats alongside more substantial single-family builds. Camping is permitted, so you can start enjoying the property immediately while your plans take shape.

The FEMA confirmed no flood risk designation means the land itself is as solid as the community surrounding it.
Utilities are in place and ready to connect. Power through Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative and water from Southwest Water Company are both available at the street, and a fully independent on-site sewer system puts your complete infrastructure ownership in your hands from day one.

The Callender Lake community amenity package is genuinely one of the most comprehensive in Gateway's entire Texas portfolio for the price. For just $128 per year, residents enjoy gated entry, private lake access, a boat ramp, boat storage, fishing piers, boating, kayaking, a swim beach, a community park, a children's playground, a community center, a library, a resale shop, and a full calendar of social events and activities throughout the year. It is the kind of community where neighbors become friends and weekends feel genuinely restorative.

Athens, one of East Texas's most charming and well-serviced towns, is just 18.8 miles away for shopping, dining, and everyday needs. New home construction throughout the community signals a neighborhood with genuine momentum and long-term investment appeal.

Annual taxes are $60 per year. Owner financing starts at $265 per month with no credit check required.

Gated, elevated, and loaded with lake life — Dogwood Drive at Callender Lake is waiting for you.
