Some addresses earn their names, and Old Smokey View Drive in the Villages East community of Flint, Texas is one of them. Sitting at 460 feet of elevation -- the highest of any Smith County lot in Gateway's portfolio -- this 0.19-acre parcel in the heart of East Texas rose country enjoys the kind of elevated perspective that makes a homesite feel genuinely special before a single wall goes up.
At 8,375 square feet with a pleasingly varied shape that widens to 142 feet at its broadest point, this lot offers a natural canvas that rewards thoughtful home placement and landscaping. A 1,000 square foot minimum home size reflects a community where quality construction is the standard, and the mostly level terrain makes the building process smooth and budget-friendly from the ground up. The FEMA confirmed no flood risk designation adds complete confidence to your investment.

Utilities are fully in place and ready to connect. Power through Oncor Electric Delivery and water from Liberty Water Supply are both available, and a fully independent on-site sewer system puts your infrastructure entirely in your own hands from day one.
The Villages Club HOA amenity package is what truly elevates this property into a category all its own. For $330 per year, residents enjoy pools, a clubhouse and recreation center, tennis courts, a marina, direct Lake Palestine access, walking and biking trails, a beach area and park, playground and picnic areas, mini golf through the community recreation facilities, and a lively calendar of HOA community events. Lake Palestine -- one of the most beautiful and sought-after recreational lakes in all of East Texas -- is right at the community's doorstep, putting world class boating, fishing, and waterfront living within easy reach every single day.
What makes this lot truly stand apart in the East Texas lineup is its proximity to Tyler. At just 14.8 miles away, Tyler's exceptional shopping, dining, healthcare, arts scene, and employment opportunities are closer here than from any other property in Gateway's Texas portfolio. The charming community of Flint adds a warm, established neighborhood feel just 9.6 miles out.
