917 Goodwyn Rd sits on 18+ acres in Italy, Texas, about 45 miles south of Dallas: a small-town pace with an easy drive north when you need the city.
Italy sits at the junction of US-77 and State Highway 34, about 45 miles south of Dallas on the Blackland Prairie. Settlers arrived in the 1860s, the town was named in 1880 after a postmaster chose Italy for its sunny climate, and the Missouri-Kansas-Texas Railroad reached town in 1890, making it a cotton-market center.
Today Italy bills itself as the Biggest Little Town in Texas, and a short drive up the county roads, Ennis is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas: home to a 40-mile bluebonnet trail each April, the National Polka Festival each Memorial Day weekend since 1967, and a historic, brick-street downtown.
