Description
Overview: Nestled in the southeastern part of Cherokee County, just south of the SH 21 corridor and west of the Angelina River, lies the picturesque Allen Family Timber Farm. Spanning approximately 255 acres, this property is a unique blend of timber production and recreational opportunity, enriched by the serene Angelina River and the seclusion offered by the surrounding large tracts.
Terrain and Elevation: The property boasts diverse terrain, with elevation ranging from roughly 210' ASL to an approximate high of 350' ASL. This 140-foot elevation change is a defining feature of the property, offering breathtaking vista views from various central locations. The land is primarily upland, with about 30 acres in the lower elevations that appear to be located within the flood zone. This composition provides a balanced mix of upland and lowland areas, maximizing usability without significant flood risk.
Timber and Land Management: Recently, approximately 75 acres of the property underwent clear-cutting, primarily around the central ridge and extending southeast towards the lower elevations. This area is slated for replanting this winter, offering the new owner a chance to influence the land's future character. The clear-cutting has opened up remarkable views and possibilities, whether for regeneration or conversion to pasture. The remaining acreage has a heavy stand of relatively mature Pine timber, interspersed with drainages that are primarily comprised of mature, mixed hardwoods. The property has a good interior trail system that leads to multiple food plots and other areas that have been developed as hunting spots. It is noted that the stands and feeders on the property are owned by the hunters who are family members of the owners. No personal property is included with the sale of the property.
Location and Accessibility: This "end of the road" property is the epitome of tranquility, ideal for those seeking a retreat from urban life. It's situated less than 10 minutes east of Alto. To reach this haven, take SH 21 East from Alto for 5 miles, turn right on FM 2708, proceed south for 0.3 miles, then turn left on CR 2612 and continue for 1.1 miles to the gate at the end of the county road.
Summary: The Allen Family Timber Farm is not just a piece of land; it's a canvas for the next owner to shape and enjoy. Whether your interest lies in timber production, creating a private hunting ground, or simply embracing a peaceful, natural retreat, this property offers it all. Its unique combination of terrain, timber, and location makes it a rare find in Cherokee County. Call today for your private tour of this rustic retreat.
