E Travis Street

Positioned on the south side of Italy within city limits, this 8.6-acre tract offers an exceptional opportunity for residential development in one of Ellis County’s most promising growth corridors. The property provides easy access to I-35E, placing future homeowners within a short commute to Waxahachie, Midlothian, and the broader DFW Metroplex while still enjoying the charm and small-town atmosphere that defines Italy, Texas. A new survey has been completed, and the property features solid infrastructure nearby to support future expansion. Sewer and a smaller water line are reported along the north side of the property, while a larger water line is accessible from Dilworth Road. A right-of-way known as Travis Street runs along the north boundary and extends to Weir Road, offering flexible access and strong potential for subdivision layout or future city connection points. The land is completely outside the floodplain, maximizing the buildable area. Italy is situated in the direct path of growth, neighboring two of the fastest-growing cities in the nation—Waxahachie, ranked No. 20, and Midlothian, ranked No. 27. With the population and infrastructure steadily expanding southward, this tract represents a rare chance to secure a foothold in a city that’s poised to be next in line for major residential development. Buyers are encouraged to perform due diligence with the City of Italy to explore zoning and utility capacities, but this property’s location is as an outstanding candidate for a new housing community, estate lots, or a small residential subdivision designed to capture the wave of Ellis County growth.
