Description
Located on CR 1002 N near Winnsboro, Texas, this approximately 50± acre East Texas property offers a versatile combination of open pasture, scattered hardwoods, mixed timber, live-water features, and recreational opportunities. Currently utilized for cattle, the property is fully fenced and includes a set of working cattle pens, providing useful improvements for continued agricultural or livestock use.
The land features a mix of open pasture and wooded areas that creates an attractive transition throughout the property. Slightly rolling East Texas topography gives the acreage character without sacrificing usability. Scattered timber breaks up the open ground, while established shaded trails wind through portions of the wooded acreage, looking like a scene out of a movie. These trails provide convenient access for exploring the property, checking livestock, hunting, riding ATVs or simply enjoying the land.
Water and wildlife habitat are important features of this tract. Little Cypress Creek and Long Branch Creek flow through portions of the property, adding diversity to the landscape and creating natural travel corridors for wildlife. Deer and feral hog activity has been observed on the property, making this a strong candidate for buyers searching for hunting land for sale near Winnsboro, Gilmer and the greater Upshur County area. The combination of timber, pasture, creek bottoms, water and interior trails provides multiple options for hunting and year-round outdoor recreation.
For buyers interested in a future East Texas homesite, the property offers multiple appealing locations where a residence, cabin or ranch headquarters could potentially be established. Electric service is nearby, according to the seller. Buyers should independently verify electric availability, costs, water options, and any other utilities needed for their intended use. The mix of open acreage and timber allows a future owner to consider several configurations while retaining pasture, recreational ground and wildlife cover.
The existing fencing and cattle pens add immediate utility for ranching and livestock management. Buyers looking for an East Texas cattle property can continue an agricultural use while also taking advantage of the recreational characteristics of the acreage. The open pasture provides grazing ground, while scattered trees and timber add shade, cover and visual interest. For a buyer seeking a combination ranch and hunting tract rather than land devoted to a single use, this property provides several possibilities within one manageable 50-acre parcel.
Location is another advantage. The property is approximately 2 miles north of Rhonesboro, approximately 15 miles south of Winnsboro and approximately 12 miles from Gilmer. This puts everyday services, dining, shopping and recreation within driving distance while maintaining the rural character of the property. Downtown Gilmer and Winnsboro will remind you of a hallmark town, providing additional shopping, town events, and local businesses.
Outdoor recreation is also readily accessible in the surrounding area. Lake Gilmer is a 1,010-surface-acre lake located west of downtown Gilmer and offers additional opportunities for fishing and outdoor recreation. Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area near Gilmer provides an extensive trail system for dirt bikes, UTVs and OHVs, including more than 27 miles of single-track trails and a 16-mile Adventure Trail.
