Description
Location & Access
Located just west of Jacksonville in the central portion of Cherokee County, Texas, this 300.71± acre tract offers a diverse combination of topography, access, and land use potential. The property is irregular in shape with multiple points of access, including several areas of frontage along FM 747 on the western boundary and two additional access points along CR 3303 on the eastern side. Road frontage areas are fenced, and the layout allows for flexibility in how the property can be utilized or accessed.
Land & Timber
The land is predominantly wooded, featuring a mix of native timber, natural regeneration, and planted pine. This blend of timber types contributes to both habitat diversity and varying levels of canopy cover across the tract. Portions of the property may be suitable for pasture or agricultural use, while other areas remain more heavily wooded.
Topography & Views
The terrain is a defining feature, with elevation ranging from approximately 470 feet above sea level to approximately 680 feet. The rolling to steep topography provides a range of views, including elevated areas that overlook portions of the surrounding Jacksonville area. The diversity in elevation contributes to the overall character and usability of the tract.
Water Features
Internal drainage appears to move toward nearby Gum Creek, and the property generally exhibits good drainage characteristics. Two locations are indicated on topographic mapping as having spring activity, and several wet weather creeks traverse the land. While there are currently no constructed ponds, the terrain suggests potential locations for future surface water improvements, subject to buyer verification and permitting considerations.
Access & Trails
Internal access throughout the property is supported by an established trail system estimated at four to five miles in length. These trails allow for navigation by ATV or side-by-side and provide access to various portions of the tract, including both higher elevations and lower drainage areas.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Utilities are present in the area, with electric service available along FM 747 and CR 3303. Providers are believed to include Oncor and Cherokee County Electric Cooperative, though availability and capacity should be confirmed by the buyer. Cellular service has been reported to be available in the area.
Recreation & Wildlife
The property is located in a rural setting that supports recreational use, including hunting. The mix of timber, cover, and terrain contributes to wildlife habitat commonly associated with East Texas properties. The size and layout of the tract provide options for outdoor recreation and land management.
Additional Notes
Additional considerations include a small parcel along FM 747 that was recently acquired and is currently classified as land non-homesite for tax purposes. According to the seller, this parcel is subject to a 180-day redemption period, though taxes were reportedly unpaid for an extended period. Buyers are encouraged to verify all tax classifications and related details through appropriate sources.
