Description

This 325-acre property sits about ten miles south of DeKalb in Bowie County, Texas, off County Road 4316, with additional access from Highway 259, putting it within easy reach while still offering the seclusion of a working hunting ranch.

The terrain here works in an owner's favor rather than against it. The ground is level and easy to move across, with a strong, healthy stand of timber covering most of the tract and cleared lanes kept open for trails and food plots rather than left fully wooded. That combination of heavy cover and open ground creates the kind of edge habitat that concentrates deer movement and gives a hunter defined, repeatable places to set up, without the steep grades or broken ground that make equipment work and food plot maintenance a chore elsewhere. The property also sits on high ground near the Sulphur River, close enough that the river corridor pulls wildlife up onto dry ground to bed, browse, and forage, while keeping the building sites and infrastructure safely out of the floodplain. The river adds a recreational option of its own for a new owner, from fishing to simply having water access nearby.

Water is a real asset here beyond the river's influence. Holly Creek runs through a significant stretch of the property, joined by a smaller intermittent tributary, giving the land natural travel corridors and additional cover along the banks. A stocked fishing pond with a small floating pier rounds out the water features, adding a close-to-home fishing option without having to leave the property. There are no pipeline easements, transmission lines, or other energy infrastructure crossing the tract, which keeps the ground clean for hunting, grazing, or future development plans.

The timber itself is worth noting as more than scenery. A stand this size and condition functions as both habitat and a long-term asset, giving an owner the option to manage it for wildlife, for periodic harvest, or both.

Hunting infrastructure is already in place and ready to use. Wild hogs are present on the property and support hunting throughout the year in addition to the deer season. Multiple box blinds and tower stands are positioned around the property, backed up by a number of corn feeders and a dedicated bow blind. A 550-yard rifle range rounds out the setup, laid out with a full array of targets and steel gongs at varying distances, giving an owner a serious place to sight in rifles and work on long-range shooting well before the season opens. All of it conveys with the sale, so a buyer isn't starting from scratch.

On the improvement side, a three-bedroom, two-bath manufactured home with a covered front porch serves as the primary residence, giving an owner or hunting party a comfortable place to stay rather than relying on a camper or bunkhouse. Two metal shop buildings with electricity and covered parking for tractors handle equipment storage, and a caliche driveway and staging area keep access usable in wet weather. The property is fenced around its perimeter with a locked entry gate, and water is handled by an electric well in its own enclosed well house.

The property's underground bunker deserves its own mention, since it goes well beyond a simple storm shelter. It's a sizable space built out as genuine living quarters, with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room with a couch, giving it the footprint of a small home below ground. A dedicated grow room, complete with grow lights and its own water storage, adds a real self-sustaining element on top of the living space, giving an owner the ability to produce food and manage a water supply independent of the rest of the property's systems. It's the kind of feature rarely found on a hunting tract, adding both security and long-term self-sufficiency alongside everything else the property offers.

Bowie County sits in the far northeast corner of Texas, where the Sulphur River and its bottomland timber support strong deer and hog hunting across the region. DeKalb, a few miles north, provides local services, Texarkana lies to the northeast for a wider range of amenities, and Mount Pleasant is within reach to the southwest.

This 325-acre Bowie County property combines a well-managed timber stand, river and creek frontage, a stocked pond, established hunting infrastructure down to a 550-yard rifle range, and a full set of improvements, including a home, shop buildings, and a self-sustaining underground bunker, in one ready-to-use tract.
