Sunset serves up big skies, roads, and quick access to the US 287 corridor, making country living convenient. Residents enjoy a rural pace with room for horses and gardens, while errands and dining are an easy drive to Bowie or Decatur. The community sits near the line between Montague County and Wise County, opening a wide circle of services.
Families appreciate solid school options: most addresses feed into the Bowie Independent School District, known for career and technical programs and Jackrabbit athletics, and some nearby areas attend Alvord Independent School District; check boundaries before you buy. For continuing education, the North Central Texas College Bowie campus brings college courses and workforce training close to home. County services, permits, and records are handled through the official county offices.
Weekends tend to revolve around the outdoors. Trails, wildlife viewing, and dispersed camping await at the Lyndon B. Johnson National Grasslands, while anglers head for Amon G. Carter Lake for bass, shoreline picnic areas, and boat ramps. Local growers and 4‑H programs thrive with support from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension – Montague County.
Whether you’re upsizing to acreage or downsizing to a low‑maintenance homestead, Sunset blends space, access, and community. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate agent who knows the backroads and the market.
