PROPERY DESCRIPTION

Red River County may be located only an hour and a half from the DFW area or an hour from Texarkana, but the area offers a nice quiet reprieve from the bustle and noise of urban life, almost like stepping back in time. The drive to this offered property from US 82 at Clarksville winds northeast along FM 1159 for ten miles, passing pastures, row crop farms and forests along the way. Five minutes on maintained county roads brings you to the property just north of Pecan Bayou, close to the earliest northeast Texas settlements of Pecan Point, Mound City and Vessey.

This land is cloaked in native hardwood and pine forests that have taken over the once busy farmsteads. The remnants of these farms are nestled back in the quiet woods now, the hard work of previous generations growing crops and raising livestock now exist as cherished family memories. Row crop furrows are still visible in places on this property, some of the current owners worked on the farm for their grandparents generation during summer breaks. There are very large old post oaks, red oaks, sweetgums and pines that once were scattered about the old fields and around the houses, ponds and barns. These large sprawling trees now stand in contrast to the slender young timber as reminders of what this landscape once was.

As is happening across much of the rural South, the time has come for passing these legacy farms along to a new set of owners. The soils had been used in the past to grow crops and for pasture which could complement a residential plan. Recreational activities such as hunting, ATV riding or just walking in the woods could work with a residence or weekend getaway. The soils could also once again support grazing if converted back to pasture. The current conditions on the property make it easily suitable for forestry management, with favorable species of hardwood to go along with the loblolly and shortleaf pine. Allowing this forest to grow over time while making use of it recreationally would be a good plan for this acreage.

The native forests on this property are young, vigorously growing pine and hardwoods that have naturally reforested the fields. A thinning harvest was last done in 2001, and the regrowth of the last twenty-four seasons has produced another crop of trees. There is a wide assortment of species on the uplands including loblolly pine, post oak, ash, shortleaf pine, water oak, sweetgum, various red oaks, black walnut, American elm, Florida maple, American holly, black cherry, dogwood and hornbeam. In addition, cedar elm, overcup oak, willow oak, sycamore, pignut hickory, bitter pecan, river birch, pawpaw and blackgum are several of the species found in the bottomland areas. The growth stage is to where the understory is beginning to open up as the shade suppresses the brush, revealing a fairly open forest in most places. There is a substantial percentage of oaks, sweetgum and pine that will be contributing greatly to the future economics of this young forest.

The relatively level uplands on the northern half of this property slope to the south towards the one major perennial stream, Schaffline Creek, which cuts across the southwestern corner of the 44.8 acres. The smaller Tanyard Branch runs easterly along the northeastern boundary of the 12.7 acre parcel. Several wet-weather branches on the 44.8 and 32.8 acre parcels lead into the six or seven total acres of bottomland Thenas fine sandy loam soils associated with Schaffline Creek, which drains into Pecan Bayou to the south of the property.

This farm is offered in seven parcels that will all have county road access. Proposed parcel mapping is found in the downloadable documents. Electric power is present on five of the parcels; a utility right-of-way will be reserved for the other two tracts by utilizing county road access.
