Description
This 115.723± acre property in southern Anderson County offers a combination of improved pasture, functional ranch infrastructure, and a well-located residence set deep within the tract for privacy. Accessed by an approximately 0.35 mile private driveway from FM 322, the improvements are positioned in the rear third of the property, overlooking gently rolling pastureland. The setting provides separation from the road while maintaining convenient access to nearby communities.
Land Characteristics
The land is predominantly open pasture with gently rolling topography and elevation ranging from approximately 340 feet above sea level to 410 feet above sea level. The terrain supports both grazing and recreational use, with long views across the property from the homesite. Soils in this portion of Anderson County are typically sandy loam, supporting improved grasses such as Coastal Bermuda and native forage. The layout includes perimeter fencing and cross fencing, along with cattle run alleys that allow for efficient livestock movement toward the working pens.
Water Features
A pond located in the southeastern portion of the property encompasses approximately 2.3 acres at full capacity. This water source serves both agricultural and wildlife purposes and adds to the overall usability of the tract. The surrounding pasture and pond area provide habitat for whitetail deer, feral hogs, and small game commonly found in this region of East Texas.
Improvements
The primary residence contains approximately 4,100 square feet of gross living area, along with an additional 460 square feet of covered patio space. Originally a farmhouse, the home was expanded and remodeled around 2007 according to county records. The floorplan includes four bedrooms, three and one half bathrooms, an office, two living areas, and a large gym space. A mudroom with built-in bench and storage cubbies adds functional utility.
The kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances and opens into the main living areas, supporting both daily use and entertaining. Interior finishes are of good quality, and the home has been recently repainted. Some deferred maintenance is present, offering an opportunity for the next owner to make updates and improvements according to their preferences.
The exterior is finished in a combination of cedar and stone. The rear covered patio connects to a large, multi-level concrete patio area featuring an in-ground pool with a stone grotto and water feature. Elevated concrete decking and surrounding stone retaining walls define the outdoor space and provide views over the pasture.
Agricultural Improvements
Two barns are located near the residence. One measures approximately 30 feet by 32 feet, and the second measures approximately 35 feet by 55 feet. Both are wood frame construction with galvanized metal siding and roofing. The larger barn is oriented toward the cattle working pens and includes access to a covered chute area. The existing setup supports cattle operations and rotational grazing practices.
Location
The property is located at 14803 FM 322 in Anderson County, Texas. From the intersection of US Hwy 287 and SH 294 in Elkhart, travel west on SH 294 for approximately 2.5 miles, then turn left onto FM 322. Continue south on FM 322 for approximately 4.5 miles, and the property entrance will be on your right at 14803 FM 322. The entrance is gated, and a private driveway extends approximately 0.35 miles back to the improvements located toward the rear portion of the property.
The area is known for its rural character and accessibility to outdoor recreation. Nearby opportunities include fishing and boating on area lakes such as Houston County Lake and Lake Palestine, as well as public hunting and hiking in the Davy Crockett National Forest. The region supports a mix of agricultural operations, timber production, and recreational land use.
Wildlife and Habitat
This portion of East Texas supports a diverse mix of native wildlife. The open pasture, pond, and surrounding edges create suitable habitat for whitetail deer, feral hogs, dove, and various small game species. Scattered hardwoods and nearby timber tracts in the area contribute to overall habitat diversity.
