Summary

This approximately 51.5-acre tract is located in the northeastern portion of Houston County, Texas and offers gently rolling terrain, mixed native timber, and live water frontage along Hickory Creek. With utilities available nearby and close proximity to the Davy Crockett National Forest, the property is well suited for a small acreage homesite, recreational tract, or weekend retreat.

Property Characteristics

The tract is irregular in shape with gently rolling topography and an elevation range from approximately 250 feet above sea level to 320 feet above sea level. The property is predominantly wooded with a mix of native hardwoods and pine. Timber harvesting on the tract appears to have been somewhat heavier in places, resulting in fewer SMZ areas, though the land still retains pockets of good mixed native timber and a natural layout conducive to recreational use and future improvement.

Water Features

While the property does not include a pond or impounded water feature, a large, well-defined creek known as Hickory Creek crosses the rear portion of the property. This live water feature provides a consistent water source for wildlife, enhances the recreational appeal of the land, and contributes to the overall character of the property.

Wildlife

The combination of wooded cover, live water, rolling terrain, and nearby public lands creates a favorable environment for native wildlife. Whitetail deer, feral hogs, small game, and other native species are commonly observed in the area, making the property well-suited for hunting and wildlife viewing.

Utilities

Electricity and rural water are available across the county road, providing convenient access for a future homesite, cabin, or other improvements.

National Forest Proximity

The property is located in close proximity to the Davy Crockett National Forest, a large tract of publicly managed land offering extensive recreational opportunities. This nearby access allows an owner to enjoy hunting, hiking, trail riding, and wildlife viewing on a much larger scale while maintaining private ownership of a manageable acreage.

Local Attractions & Things To Do

The property is well-positioned for enjoying a variety of East Texas outdoor and small-town amenities. Nearby communities such as Crockett provide dining, shopping, and essential services, while the surrounding countryside supports hunting, fishing, trail riding, and seasonal recreation. Area creeks, public lands, and regional lakes further enhance the appeal for outdoor enthusiasts seeking both convenience and seclusion.
