About the Home and Area
The property is 1.65 acres in the John Blair Survey, according to the county tax record. A 2014 survey shows 1.647 acres. It sits on the corner of FM 47 and VZ County Road 3528, with road frontage on both.
The backyard is fenced with wood. The in-ground gunite pool sits behind the house.
Out past the house is a 1,200 square foot shop building with electric and a roll-up door, per the tax record and the MLS. There's also a 600 square foot garage.
The home is outside Wills Point city limits, per the county tax record. There's no HOA. Water comes from South Tawakoni Water Supply Corporation. Sewer is an aerobic septic system with a maintenance contract in place. Electric is Trinity Valley Electric Cooperative.
The home isn't on the water. But Lake Tawakoni is close. The state park is about 8 minutes north on FM 47.
Texas Parks and Wildlife lists the lake at 37,879 acres. It's known for striped and hybrid striped bass. White bass, catfish, crappie, and largemouth bass are here too.
Lake Tawakoni State Park covers 376 acres of oak forest with more than five miles of lakeshore. It has a four-lane boat ramp and a fish cleaning station, nearly five miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking, kayak rentals, and campsites. You don't need a fishing license to fish from shore in a Texas state park.
Back home, there's the pool and a fenced backyard.
Coffee is The Pony Expresso on Houston Street. It's set up like somebody's living room, with a porch and local goods for sale. It opens at 5:30 AM Monday through Saturday.
For breakfast downtown, the Bluebird Cafe on West North Commerce Street does the morning plates, burgers, and house-made desserts. Several breakfast dishes are named after locals.
Los Tacos de Villa on South 5th Street is the taco stop. People come for the tortas, the breakfast burritos, and the birria.
For a night out, Four Winds Steakhouse sits on a ranch on FM 47 south of town. It's known for the bone-in ribeye. Book ahead.
Brookshire's on West South Commerce Street covers the weekly grocery run. For feed and hardware, Circle C Feed and Hardware is on US-80 heading toward Terrell.
Wills Point grew up with the Texas and Pacific Railway, which laid track through here in 1873. On July 21, 1884, it became the first community in Van Zandt County to incorporate. The 2020 Census counted 3,747 people.
It's known as the Bluebird Capital of Texas and the Gateway to Tawakoni. From this address, you can see why. Town is a few minutes south on FM 47, and the lake is a few minutes north. The founder's original log cabin, the Wills Cabin, still stands in Bruce Park.
Every spring, the Wills Point Chamber of Commerce throws the Bluebird Jamboree in historic downtown. The 2026 Jamboree ran April 11 with local art and crafts, live music, food vendors, and guided history walks.
