Great investment property or business opportunity! The bank building previously housed a thriving antique business.  The possibilities are endless - retail, office, shop, manufacturing, living space, warehouse. BIG, fenced lot with plenty of room to grow.

Located in Forreston TX, (google map)  just 40 minutes South of downtown Dallas, 1 mile from I-35 with 120' of road frontage on Hwy. 77 between Waxahachie & Italy.  Forreston is a small, quiet un-incorporated town in fast growing Ellis County. Known statewide as a shopping destination (Texas Monthly - March 1999 "The best of Small-Town Texas" Issue) there is a steady stream of weekend shoppers.  No city tax,  no "big box" retailers & no city restrictions or zoning.

Live, work or sell in an affordable location close to the big city but in the peace & quiet of a small country town. If you need lots of space or simply want to be outside of city restrictions, this is the place for you.

The property consists of:

4 lots with 120’ of footage on Hwy 77.
