Tucked away in the heart of Anderson County is a breathtaking 68.03-acre gem, a cherished heirloom preserved and nurtured by the same family since the 1940s. This vast expanse isn't just land; it's a tapestry of memories, history, and nature's best work. Its sprawling, rolling topography provides a canvas where nature paints scenes of lush 16-18 year old pine plantations, age-old hardwoods, and the shimmering beauty of White Oak Creek. The terrain offers unique views of the property, each vantage point telling a different tale of time and terrain. Its rich biodiversity is a testament to the region's natural beauty, where the whispering pines, the rustling oaks, and the gentle calls of native wildlife create a harmonious symphony. With modern amenities interspersed within its timeless landscape, this property is both a nod to the past and a bridge to future possibilities. Every inch of this land, with its rich soils and verdant woods, is an invitation to create, explore, and dream.

Land Characteristics

This property is a true testament to the rich biodiversity of East Texas. Approximately 40-45 acres of the property are comprised of 16-18 year old planted pine timber. Complementing the pine are scattered stands of mixed mature native hardwood, featuring species like oak, hickory, and sweetgum, intertwined with massive native pine timber. This diverse arboreal mix is a haven for the native wildlife. Whitetail deer, a frequent visitor, are particularly attracted to the native browse nourished by the various sandy loam soil types. The property has rolling topography with approximately 60 feet of elevation change. While it is a gentle roll throughout most of the tract, there are areas with steep hills and bluffs which offer a variety rarely found on smaller acreage tracts and add a layer of challenge and appeal to the trail riding aspect found here.

Water Features

The property's water features truly set it apart as an oasis. Dominating the landscape is the pristine pond, situated conveniently on the eastern side near the county road frontage, ensuring scenic views and easy access. Equipped with an established electrical service and a gracefully built wooden pier, it's an angler's dream and a tranquil spot for reflection. The crown jewel, however, is the White Oak Creek that gracefully meanders through the heart of the property. With deep banks shadowed by towering Oak and Pine trees, the creek presents a serene and picturesque setting. Notably, the creek is fed by a series of springs that appear to be ever-resilient, even showing strength during the driest summer months, and it eventually deposits its waters into the Neches River. This confluence of water features offers not only aesthetic beauty but also a myriad of recreational opportunities.

Improvements

Beyond its natural allure, the property is dotted with amenities that make it instantly usable and enjoyable. A picturesque pond adorned with an electrical service and a wooden pier promises delightful afternoons. At the rear of the property is a covered picnic area constructed on a concrete slab with an enclosed storage area and a small basketball court. A water well reported to be approximately 400 feet deep was added to the rear of the property in recent years as well. Miles of trails wind throughout the property, with sturdy ATV bridges over White Oak Creek in two places, and a newly constructed gated entrance welcomes you home but maintains your privacy when desired.
