Actually, it is one of the original parcels I bought.
Thru a weird twist of fate I had the opportunity to buy a bank owned home in 2004. There was a HUD auction and although I didn't have the highest bid, I was the only one to bid as an "owner occupant" rather than an "investor" and I got it. It's about ½ mile from the original parcels and is on 3.24 acres that backs miles of timberland.
I moved into it, my daughter moved into the lake house and for a while I rented the other place. But renters were more trouble than they are worth, so I sold it in 2006.
Well, the new owner only made a handful of payments before defaulting. I fought him in the courts for two years . . . he declared bankruptcy twice! I finally got it back in January and it's for sale again.
It's a nice place, perfect for a small homestead. Check out the photos.

Your boonies are beautiful.
How are the summers there? We were in Corpus for a while and had to leave - the 95+ degree temperature combined with the 90+% humidity drove us out. But...the plants sure loved it! The acre or so we had there probably would’ve been a good idea when TSHTS (IF we had the electricity to run the A/C day and night)
You are right, it is a nice place.
The UTube does not work at all on my computer, the page is all gibberish.
I agree with you on rentals, they are more pain then they are worth, and still they are a way to build equity for the small investor.
It is good that you are in a spot that you enjoy.
