Description
Location & Access
Situated in desirable Panola County, this 225-acre tract is ideally located between Carthage and Henderson, offering convenient access to both towns at approximately 15 minutes each. The property benefits from a rural setting surrounded by large neighboring ranches, contributing to privacy and reduced development pressure. Its location also places it within reasonable driving distance of Tyler at approximately 50 miles, Longview at 40 miles, and Shreveport at 60 miles. Access to the property is supported by a county road frontage, with additional acreage available nearby for those seeking expansion opportunities.
Land & Timber
This tract offers a well-balanced mix of land types, including open pasture and a strong component of managed timber. The pine plantation, currently around nine years old, has been maintained and is projected to be ready for its first thinning in approximately five to six years, presenting future income potential. In addition to the pine timber, the property includes native hardwood areas, particularly along the creek bottom, enhancing habitat diversity and long-term land value. The combination of open and wooded areas provides flexibility for agricultural use, recreation, and wildlife management.
Topography & Natural Features
The property features gently rolling East Texas terrain, making it both usable and visually appealing. A standout natural feature is the beautiful hardwood bottom located along the back portion of the tract, where a creek winds through the landscape. The landowner preserved the riparian zones and streamside buffers, contributing to the ecological integrity of the property. This blend of timber, water, and topography creates a diverse environment that supports both wildlife and recreational use.
Water Features
Water is a key highlight of this property. A scenic creek flows through the tract, providing a year-round natural water source and enhancing the overall habitat quality. In addition, a well-positioned pond offers opportunities for fishing and duck hunting. These water features not only support wildlife but also add aesthetic and recreational value to the property.
Access & Trails
An established internal road and trail system runs throughout the property, allowing for easy navigation across various sections of the land. These trails support access for ATVs, hunting activities, timber management, and general recreation. The existing infrastructure makes it easy to explore and utilize the full 225 acres without the need for significant additional development.
Utilities & Infrastructure
The property includes a highly desirable homesite located near the pond. This site is already equipped with a septic system, water well, and electricity, providing a strong foundation for building a residence, cabin, or weekend retreat. Having these utilities in place significantly reduces the time and cost typically associated with developing rural land.
Recreation & Wildlife
This tract offers excellent recreational opportunities, particularly for hunting. The diverse habitat supports populations of whitetail deer, feral hogs, coyotes, and migratory waterfowl. The combination of timber, open areas, water sources, and planted food-producing trees enhances the property's appeal for wildlife. Approximately 15 acres have been planted in an assortment of nut-bearing trees across different areas of the property, further improving forage availability and long-term habitat quality.
Area Attractions
The property is located within close proximity to Wild Spring Dunes Golf Resort, a newly developed golf destination approximately 18 miles away. This adds an additional recreational option and contributes to the growing appeal of the surrounding area.
Additional Notes
Large acreage tracts in Panola County are rarely offered for sale, making this property a unique opportunity for buyers seeking a sizable, well-rounded tract in East Texas. With additional acreage available nearby, there is potential to expand ownership if desired. Buyers are encouraged to verify all details related to utilities, timber, and improvements.
