Diamond D and Pine Island Estates is 506 acres in Jefferson County, near China, about 11 miles from Beaumont and 10 miles from Interstate 10. The land is offered as three tracts, together or separately, spread across two established subdivisions, Diamond D Estates and Pine Island Estates. Port Arthur is roughly 30 miles off. Southeast Texas Regional Airport is about 22 miles, Sabine Lake around 37, and Mont Belvieu sits about 40 minutes west on the way to Houston.
The ground is flat, open improved pasture, and it carries an ag exemption today. In Diamond D Estates, a 95 acre tract is designed for about 356 lots, 50 to 65 feet wide by 120 feet deep, and a 25 acre tract is drawn for about 137 lots at 50 feet by 120. Both are ready for immediate development. The 386 acre Pine Island Estates tract is the big piece. It is platted two ways: as a golf-course community, or as a traditional neighborhood of 1,034 lots ranging from 50 to 125 feet wide.
The golf-course version comes with a Roy Bechtol design, an 18-hole course planned as the center of the neighborhood. The concept includes an entry, a clubhouse, a practice facility, a fishing pond, golf casitas, and a mix of golf-course lots and residential estate lots. The area has not had an amenity like it.
The residential tracts are restricted to residential use, multifamily included, with highway and county-road frontage in a growth corridor. Along Highway 90, another 11 acres are available for commercial development. Electric, rural water, municipal sewer, natural gas and fiber are available to develop, and a new water and sewer treatment plant is slated to serve both communities. Preliminary plats and renderings for future sections are complete. Several tract builders already have a presence in the area, and D.R. Horton holds 110 acres under contract.
The land sits outside city limits, so there are no city taxes and construction is built to county specifications rather than city. The property is in the Hardin-Jefferson ISD.

Investment Notes
The residential tracts are restricted to residential development, multifamily included, and sit in a growth corridor with highway and county-road frontage. Along Highway 90, an additional 11 acres are available for commercial development. The land is outside city limits, so building goes to county specifications rather than city, which shortens the process and lowers development cost, and there are no city taxes.
Electric, rural water, municipal sewer, natural gas and fiber are available to develop. A new water and sewer treatment plant is slated to serve both communities. Preliminary plats and renderings for future sections are complete. Several tract builders already have a presence in the area, and D.R. Horton holds 110 acres under contract. The land is flat, improved open pasture carrying an ag exemption.
