About Caddo Mills, TX
Tucked away in Hunt County, just northeast of Royse City, Caddo Mills offers a lifestyle that’s increasingly hard to find in North Texas—peaceful country living within easy reach of urban convenience.

Caddo Mills is especially attractive to those seeking a simpler lifestyle, whether it’s raising animals, building a shop or barn, or simply enjoying a sunset without the sound of traffic.
