Description
Summary
This 78.181-acre tract is located in southeastern Anderson County, approximately five miles from downtown Palestine. The property offers a blend of open pasture and mature timber with rolling topography and long frontage along both ACR 151 and ACR 1515. With approximately 70% of the land open and the remainder consisting of native hardwoods, this tract presents excellent potential for small-acreage subdivision, residential use, or recreational enjoyment. A small pond is tucked into the timber along the northeastern corner, and elevation ranges from approximately 450 to 600 feet above sea level.
Driving Directions
From Loop 256 in Palestine, travel south on FM 322 for approximately 3.7 miles. Turn left onto Anderson County Road 151 and continue east for 1.1 miles. The main entrance to the property will be on the left side of the road at coordinates 31.6918, -95.5573. Additional access is available from ACR 1515, which dead ends into the Lake Mary private lake subdivision.
Land Characteristics
The terrain is gently rolling with higher elevations located along the county roads and a gradual slope downward to the north and east. The open areas are primarily native and improved grasses, including Bahia and Bermuda, which are well-suited for grazing or hay production. The timbered sections include mature post oak, blackjack oak, hickory, and cedar, providing shade, wildlife habitat, and visual diversity. The property’s shape and natural drainage patterns allow for multiple potential homesites or pasture configurations.
Water and Utilities
A small pond is located in the northeastern corner of the tract within a pocket of hardwood timber, offering scenic value and a water source for livestock or wildlife. Electricity and community water are reported to be available along the county road frontage. Buyers should verify utility availability and capacity based on their intended use.
Soils
The property consists primarily of sandy loam and clay loam soils typical of Anderson County. These soils support improved pasture grasses and are generally suitable for residential development with proper site evaluation. The natural slope and drainage features on the tract enhance usability and reduce site preparation requirements in most areas.
Wildlife
This area supports a variety of native wildlife, including whitetail deer, hogs, and other small game species. The combination of open pasture, timber cover, and the pond creates a balanced habitat that encourages year-round wildlife presence. The tract could easily support recreational uses such as hunting or wildlife viewing alongside residential or agricultural development.
Location and Area Amenities
The property is situated just minutes from Palestine, a regional hub in East Texas known for its historic charm and community attractions. Local destinations include the Texas State Railroad, Davey Dogwood Park, and the Museum for East Texas Culture. The nearby Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area offers additional outdoor recreation opportunities. For dining and socializing, residents enjoy popular local restaurants such as Queen St. Grille, Pint and Barrel Drafthouse, and Switch Brick Oven Pizzeria. Grocery stores, schools, and medical facilities are all easily accessible within a short drive.
Development Potential
This tract’s dual frontage along ACR 151 and ACR 1515, coupled with its topography and the character of neighboring properties, makes it a strong candidate for subdivision into smaller acreage tracts. The area surrounding Lake Mary is established with residential development, and this property’s configuration is well-suited to support similar use. Its proximity to town, scenic terrain, and accessibility will appeal to both developers and individual buyers seeking privacy with convenience.
