Your Lake Palestine Escape

East Texas lake living does not get more accessible than this. Lot 190 at 348 Rio Hondo Drive in the Shadybrook Subdivision on Lake Palestine delivers a gated community lifestyle, resort-caliber amenities, and direct lake access — all for one of the most compelling price points in Gateway's entire Texas portfolio. Whether you are planning a weekend retreat, a full-time residence, or a smart long-term investment, this 0.19-acre parcel checks every box with genuine Texas charm.

The lot measures a clean and efficient 60 by 137 feet, delivering 8,189 square feet of perfectly level, paved-road-accessible land zoned for residential use with a flexible 450 square foot minimum home size. That low minimum makes this one of the most versatile build options in the entire Gateway catalog, welcoming everything from a cozy cottage or tiny home-style build to a manufactured home or a traditional site-built residence. Camping is also permitted, so you can enjoy the property on your own terms while you plan your permanent setup.

The Shadybrook POA amenity package is where this property truly earns its stripes. For just $194 per year, residents enjoy gated entry, a clubhouse, swimming pools, playgrounds, parks and green spaces, private lake access to Lake Palestine, boat piers, boating, water sports, and fishing in one of East Texas's most beloved recreational lakes. This is a fully loaded lifestyle at a fraction of what comparable gated lake communities typically cost anywhere else in the state.

Utilities are in place and ready to connect. Power through Cherokee County Electric Cooperative and water through Southern Utilities are both available, and a fully independent on-site sewer system gives you complete infrastructure ownership from day one. The level terrain makes building smooth and budget-friendly regardless of your chosen construction approach.
