Description
This approximately 29 acre tract, to be determined by survey, is located in the southwestern portion of Anderson County, just southwest of Elkhart. With frontage along ACR 117 and electricity available at the road, the property offers a balanced combination of open pasture and wooded terrain that supports both residential and recreational uses. The front portion of the tract features gently rolling pastureland, while the northern section transitions into more diverse topography with scattered timber, a small pond, and a drainage corridor. Its proximity to large neighboring ranches contributes to the overall privacy and rural character of the area.
Location
The property is positioned in a quiet, rural setting in southwestern Anderson County, with convenient access via ACR 117. The entra1nce is located at approximately 31.5308, -95.6852. Nearby communities include Elkhart, approximately 10 miles to the northeast, and Palestine, approximately 20 miles to the north. Jacksonville is located roughly 35 miles to the northeast. The area is known for its rural landscapes, agricultural operations, and proximity to outdoor recreation.
Land Characteristics
The front 15 to 16 acres of the property consist of gently rolling pasture with native grasses typical of East Texas, including bluestem and other seasonal forage species. This portion of the tract provides open visibility and usable ground for grazing or homesite development. The northern portion of the property offers more varied topography with pockets of mature mixed timber, including species such as oak, hickory, and pine. A tree lined drainage runs through the northeastern section, contributing to habitat diversity and seasonal water flow. A small pond is located along the western boundary, adding to the property's recreational appeal and potential agricultural utility.
Utilities and Access
The property benefits from direct frontage along ACR 117, providing accessible entry. Electricity is available along the road frontage, offering a starting point for future improvements. Water would likely be provided via a private well, consistent with surrounding properties in the area.
Area and Surroundings
One of the notable aspects of this property is its location near large, established ranches, including Puzzlewood Ranch and Redtown Ranch, both of which encompass several thousand acres. This surrounding land ownership pattern contributes to reduced fragmentation and supports wildlife movement throughout the area.
The region offers access to a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities. Nearby Richland Creek Wildlife Management Area provides public hunting and fishing opportunities. Gus Engeling Wildlife Management Area is also within reasonable driving distance and offers managed habitat for native wildlife species. Fishing and boating opportunities are available at Houston County Lake and Lake Palestine.
Wildlife and Habitat
The combination of open pasture, timber pockets, and water features supports a range of native wildlife species common to East Texas. Whitetail deer and feral hogs are frequently found in the region, along with small game and various predator species. The drainage corridor and pond provide additional resources for wildlife and contribute to the ecological diversity of the tract.
Potential Uses
This property is well suited for a rural homesite, small scale agricultural use, or recreational ownership. The balance of open and wooded land allows for flexibility in how the property is utilized, whether for grazing, weekend use, or future improvements. Its size and configuration make it manageable while still offering the characteristics commonly sought in larger tracts.
