Description
Summary
This 58.46-acre tract is an ideal combination of seclusion and accessibility, located between Kilgore and Henderson in northwestern Rusk County. With frontage along both US Hwy 259 and CR 146, this property offers multiple access points and excellent visibility for a variety of uses. Whether you're looking for a recreational retreat, small cattle operation, or future homesite, this versatile tract has the natural features and infrastructure to support your vision.
Land Characteristics
The property features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from approximately 390 feet to 420 feet above sea level. The land is irregular in shape and offers approximately 1,125 feet of frontage along US Hwy 259 and an additional 480 feet along CR 146. Most of the property is wooded, with a blend of native hardwoods and planted pine, providing habitat for wildlife and potential future timber value.
A centrally located improved pasture, estimated at just over eight acres, offers a great opportunity for hay production, livestock grazing, or even a future homesite with a scenic backdrop. The mix of open and wooded acreage, along with the shape and layout of the tract, creates excellent privacy and visual appeal while still maintaining functionality.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Electricity crosses the front portion of the property, and community water is reportedly available through Jacobs Water Supply Corporation, adding convenience for residential or agricultural development. The dual frontage and access make it easy to envision multiple building sites or subdividing potential, if desired. The elevation and soil composition appear suitable for barns, equipment sheds, or even a cabin or permanent residence. There is an existing well site on the southern portion of the property. It is accessed from the neighbor’s tract to the south.
Recreational Appeal & Wildlife
The wooded portions of the tract offer excellent cover and browse for wildlife, including white-tailed deer, raccoons, squirrels, and songbirds common to East Texas. With minimal development in the immediate area and a mix of natural features, the property is well-suited for hunting, nature walks, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The central pasture provides a natural gathering area for wildlife and could be improved further with feeders or a small pond site.
Location & Access
The tract is ideally situated in a quiet yet accessible area, with quick connections to both Kilgore and Henderson:
• 7 miles to Kilgore
• 9 miles to Henderson
• 34 miles to Tyler
• 123 miles to Dallas via I-20
The US Hwy 259 frontage allows for easy access for equipment, livestock trailers, or future residential traffic, while the CR 146 frontage offers an alternate entrance with a quieter, rural setting.
Local Area Highlights
This portion of Rusk County is known for its rural charm and proximity to both historical and recreational attractions. Kilgore offers shopping, restaurants, and cultural highlights like the East Texas Oil Museum and the annual Texas Shakespeare Festival. Henderson provides similar amenities along with a vibrant downtown and strong local school system.
