Situated in southeast Montgomery County near Conroe (77302), this tract enjoys proximity to major transportation corridors and thriving communities. Access is convenient via county-maintained Payne Road, with connectivity to several key highways just minutes away. FM 1314 and TX-242 link the property directly to I-45 (North Freeway) and US-59/I-69, as well as the newly expanded Grand Parkway (TX-99). This provides easy travel in all directions—north to Conroe and Huntsville, south to Houston, east to the booming I-69 corridor, and west to The Woodlands.
The tract is approximately 10–20 minutes from The Woodlands, New Caney, Porter, and Splendora, placing it at the center of multiple high-growth markets. The Woodlands’ Town Center and medical district (Methodist, St. Luke’s, Texas Children’s, Memorial Hermann hospitals) are a short drive away, providing quick access to employment centers and healthcare. To the east, the Porter/New Caney area offers extensive retail (such as Valley Ranch Town Center) and entertainment, while Downtown Conroe lies just northwest. Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport is easily reachable via TX-99 or I-45, enhancing the property’s appeal for logistics and travel. In short, this property combines a rural feel with urban connectivity, enabling developers to capitalize on both local and regional growth.
High-Growth Corridor with Ongoing Development
This 15.6-acre tract sits in a rapidly developing corridor experiencing explosive residential and commercial growth. Montgomery County is consistently ranked among the fastest-growing counties in the nation, and nearby Conroe is recognized as one of Texas’s fastest-growing cities. Demand for housing and commercial services is surging, driven by expanding employment opportunities and the appeal of accessible suburban living.
Significant master-planned communities are underway just minutes from the site, underscoring the area’s momentum. At the intersection of FM 1314 and SH 242 (about 5 minutes away), two major communities are being developed:
• Artavia – a 2,842-acre master-planned community with over 6,500 homes planned at full build-out, bringing substantial new residential activity, parks, and schools.
• Evergreen – another substantial development at the northwest corner of SH 242 & FM 1314, recently launched and planned for over 2,000 new homes, complete with parks and trails.
These projects, along with developments like Tavola and Grand Texas to the east, are transforming the region and increasing demand for land. Commercial growth is keeping pace, with new retail centers, restaurants, and services emerging rapidly to support the growing population. This property is positioned ideally to benefit from these strong growth trends. Developers can plan complementary projects such as residential subdivisions, townhome communities, mixed-use developments, light industrial parks, or strategic buy-and-hold investments. Given Montgomery County’s ranking among the top counties nationally for recent population growth, now is an ideal time to invest in this appreciating market.
