For more than 30 years, Two Creek Ranch has been part of one family's everyday life in the Trout Creek community of Newton County. They have raised cattle and elk, cut hay, grown and canned vegetables, raised poultry for the table, hunted the woods, fished the ponds, and watched their grandchildren swim from the sandbars along the creek. What exists today is not simply acreage with improvements. It is a working ranch and true East Texas homestead built around living from the land.

THE HOMESTEAD

A long private drive leaves the county road and winds into the heart of the property, where the ranch headquarters sits beneath the shade of mature oak trees. The 2,400± square-foot log home, built in 1991, offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a wraparound porch overlooking one of the high-fenced pastures. Big oaks shade the homesite, while open pasture stretches beyond the porch.

The headquarters is supported by an extensive collection of ranch improvements developed through decades of use, including a large hay barn, covered working pens, horse barn with tack room, equipment and storage barns, loafing sheds, poultry facilities, and a covered cook shack with a bunkroom, kitchen, full bath, and carport. Four water wells serve the property.

A large garden and poultry facilities reflect a way of life centered around producing food from the land. The improvements weren't built all at once. They were added over time as the ranch evolved with the family's needs.

CATTLE, HAY & ELK

The ranch continues to support livestock with productive pasture, quality working facilities, and multiple fenced pastures designed for management and rotation. An established elk herd conveys with the property, and the working facilities have been used for both cattle and elk.

Outside the high fence, additional pasture and timber provide habitat for whitetail deer, hogs, and other East Texas wildlife.

OVER TWO MILES OF YEAR-ROUND CREEK FRONTAGE

Water is one of the ranch's defining features.

Big Cow Creek and Trout Creek combine for more than two miles of year-round frontage. Interior roads and UTV trails provide access to shaded hardwood bottoms, sandy creek banks, and swimming holes that have been enjoyed by the family for generations.

Several ponds are scattered across the property, providing additional water for livestock, fishing, and wildlife.

THE LAND

The ranch offers a balanced mix of productive pasture, mature hardwood bottoms, scattered pine, and heavily timbered creek corridors. Interior roads and trails provide access throughout much of the property, making it easy to move between pastures, ponds, and creek frontage.

A portion of the ranch lies within the mapped floodplain, while the primary homesite appears to be outside the mapped area. During the family's ownership, the residence experienced flooding on three occasions, including Hurricane Harvey. Buyers should independently verify flood history, floodplain mapping, and insurance availability as part of their due diligence.

MORE THAN THREE DECADES IN THE MAKING

Located just a short drive from Kirbyville, the ranch offers privacy without sacrificing convenience.

More than three decades of work have shaped what exists today. The home, barns, fences, working facilities, and trail system reflect years of practical improvements made to support the family's livestock, recreation, and daily life on the ranch.

The next owner will have the opportunity to build on that foundation while making the property their own.
