Description
This 108.525± acre property in northern Houston County is located approximately 7.4 miles northeast of Grapeland and offers a combination of road frontage, rolling terrain, and timbered acreage suited for recreational use, agricultural purposes, or a potential homesite. The property is divided into two separate tracts by a county road, providing flexibility in how the land can be utilized or developed.
Property Overview
The property consists of a 99.373-acre tract and a smaller 9.152-acre tract. The smaller parcel features frontage along FM 2022 on the west and CR 1710 on the east, offering accessible entry points and a potential homesite location. The larger tract has frontage along CR 1710 and provides the majority of the acreage for recreational or timber-related use. The separation of the tracts allows for functional division between residential and land use purposes.
Land Characteristics and Terrain
The larger tract is primarily wooded with gently rolling topography. Elevation ranges from approximately 420 feet above sea level to 480 feet above sea level, with the land generally sloping from northwest to southeast. Two natural drainages are present in the eastern and southeastern portions of the tract, contributing to the overall character of the land. These features previously supported multiple ponds, and while two dams have failed over time, there is potential for reconstruction to reestablish surface water.
The smaller tract also features gently rolling terrain with an estimated 10 to 20 feet of elevation change. It is mostly wooded and triangular in shape, with good usability due to its road frontage on two sides.
Timber, Vegetation, and Wildlife
The property is predominantly planted pine timber ranging from approximately 10 to 25 years of age. Periodic thinning has been conducted as part of normal timber management practices. The understory includes native grasses, shrubs, and browse typical of East Texas, supporting a range of wildlife species. Common wildlife in the area includes whitetail deer, feral hogs, small game, and various non-game species. Hardwood presence is likely along the drainages, contributing to habitat diversity and seasonal forage.
Water Features
There is one remaining pond on the property, with two additional historical pond sites where dams have washed out. These areas offer an opportunity for future water feature improvements. The natural drainages and prior pond construction indicate suitable conditions for additional surface water development, subject to design and construction considerations.
Improvements
Improvements on the larger tract include an older cabin with an attached barn that has historically been used as a hunting camp. The structure is currently in poor condition and would require renovation or replacement depending on intended use. A separate smaller barn located just north of the main structure is in fair condition.
Utilities include electricity and a water well, though the age and depth of the well are unknown. It is reported that community water from Consolidated Water Supply Company is in the surrounding area, but availability should be verified.
Location and Access
The property benefits from multiple access points via FM 2022 and CR 1710. It is located approximately 7.4 miles northeast of Grapeland, with additional proximity to Crockett and Palestine. The location provides a balance of rural setting with access to nearby towns for services, dining, and supplies.
Area Attractions and Recreation
Houston County is known for its outdoor recreational opportunities, including hunting, fishing, and access to public lands. Nearby recreational areas include the Davy Crockett National Forest, which offers public hunting, hiking, and camping opportunities. Houston County Lake provides fishing and boating, while the surrounding region supports a variety of outdoor activities typical of East Texas. The area is characterized by pine timberlands, hardwood bottoms, and a strong wildlife presence, making it a consistent destination for recreational land ownership.
