Rarely does timber value, a large perennial stream, all-weather public road access, beautiful scenery, excellent recreational values, and relative remoteness occur within a half-hour drive of Nacogdoches, Carthage, and Henderson. The beauty of this dandy, easily-accessed, well-forested property cannot be overstated. Located a few miles north of Garrison in southern Rusk County, near the Arlam community, this is truly an outstanding parcel of land for a getaway spot to relax and enjoy the forests of East Texas. The secluded bottomlands and upland areas are very suitable for still hunting and archery, with plenty of sign of whitetail deer, feral hogs and squirrels.

Golondrina Creek is a major perennial stream with beautiful scenery along its banks, and is the eastern boundary of the property. The deed calls for the boundary line to be on the eastern/southern bank of Golondrino the right-bank down-stream, so full access is assured. The extraordinarily attractive pine and hardwood creek bottom forest covers about 15 acres, while the well-drained uplands contain about 17 acres. Some of the loblolly pines in this bottom are truly outstanding specimens, being 30-plus inches in diameter. The uplands include about 7 acres of loblolly pine plantation that was thinned once around 2005; the trees appear to be over 30 years old.
The native forests on this property have a wide assortment of species including loblolly pine, white oak, beech, ash, shortleaf pine, water oak, black oak, sweetgum, southern red oak, American elm, Florida maple, American holly, cherrybark red oak, southern red oak, black cherry, mulberry and hornbeam.
There are small areas holding water on the toe of the hillside that contain blackgum, overcup oak and water hickory. Except in the plantation, the understory is semi- to fully open and is easy to traverse.

The loamy fine sandy soils are excellent for growing both pine and hardwood. The bottomland Laneville loam soils along Golondrina Creek are supporting an excellent hardwood pine forest. The upland Tenaha loamy fine sand soils appear to have a decent wet-weather timber harvesting capability. The future owner may possibly have several forest management options on this property; an improvement harvest; a total harvest and replant; or allowing the forest to continue to grow for a future timber harvest.

This deed-described 32 acres is offered at $4,300 per acre or $137,600. The boundary lines may possibly require a resurvey for refining the boundary description to modern standards. The Sellers are retaining all owned minerals. No seller financing is available. Hunting equipment such as feeders, trail cameras and blinds are not included in the sale.

Property boundaries appear to be the county road on the west, old fencing along the south line; it is deed-called to be the eastern bank of Golondrina Creek on the east line, and the north line is old flagging, some old blazes, and a timber type change where the timber on the land to the north was harvested in the past. The apparent northwest and southwest corner markers were located along the eastern side of the county road. No guarantees are made as to the exact location of these boundaries or corners. All provided mapping is based on CAD, GIS aerial photo interpretation using deed call information, and ground checks of Golondrina Creek and the assumed corner and line markers.

This property is currently under Ag/Timber Valuation on the taxes. A rough estimate would be about $125 per year; the appraisal district has inaccurate information concerning this particular parcel.
Electric Power (believed as being Rusk County Electric Coop) is on nearby land to north and south of property.
Approximately 925 feet frontage on east side of County Road 3284.
Residents in the area appear to be on water wells, but land is located within the Arlam Concord Water Supply service area.

Exceptional is a good word to describe this readily-accessible property that offers uplands and bottomlands in a delightful combination of forest and field. Located on a ridge running along the Wanders Creek bottomland, this property is close to evenly divided between pastures, pine plantations and native hardwood forests. It is unusual to find such a tract located a twenty-minute drive from Nacogdoches and being easily accessed on a state FM road.

This property is being offered in conjunction with other land, one parcel being the 386 acres contiguous with its south boundary, and a 466-acre parcel resulting from combining this 386 acres with 80 acres further south on the west side of FM 95. Both of these parcels are very similar in character, having a mix of native and planted pine, pastures, and outstanding hardwood forests. The 154 acres and 466 acres are offered either separately or in combination as a very nice 620-acre land holding offering timber production, cattle lease income, and recreational opportunities.

This forester has over forty years of experience managing southern forests, and this is one outstanding property from the forest management and recreational aspect. The approximately 33-year-old loblolly pine plantation is maturing into a good size sawtimber stand. The approximately 16-year-old loblolly pine plantation just had its first thinning harvest a few years ago.

This land offers an owner hunting, riding trails, walking open woodlands, observing wildlife, growing good pine and hardwood timber, and the enjoyment of a nice hardwood forest. Over much of the property, the understory is semi- to fully open and is easy to traverse on foot. Cattle have been run on this property for many years, and are still present, assisting in keeping the forest understory in good condition. Access across Wanders Creek is by a bridge believed to be located on the Garrett West 154 acre tract.

About 60% of the soils on this property is Eastwood very fine sandy loam, which is a very good upland soil for growing commercial forests. The balance is the Marietta soils in the Wanders Creek bottom, and is one of the highest-producing soils in the southern U.S. for both pine and hardwood trees, and makes good pasture, according to the USDA NRCS soils survey. This soil has a very high site index of 100, which is a commonly-used measure of tree growth potential.

The Wanders Creek bottomlands as well as the area along FM 95 contain 52 acres of bottomland and upland hardwoods. These areas provide good wildlife habitat as well as some timber production.

The habitat types on this property are as follows (all acreages are approximate):

45 acres of pastures and fields, with 41 acres being bottomland and 7 acres upland.
52 acres of native hardwood with some native pine
30 acres of older loblolly pine plantation (approx. 1988 planting)
26 acres of younger loblolly pine plantation (approx. 2005 planting)
1 acre of roads and openings

The native forests on this property have a wide assortment of species including loblolly pine, white oak, beech, ash, shortleaf pine, water oak, black oak, sweetgum, southern red oak, American elm, Florida maple, American holly, cherrybark red oak, swamp chestnut oak, southern red oak, black cherry, mulberry and hornbeam. In addition to these, cedar elm, overcup oak, shagbark and pignut hickory, bitter pecan, river birch, black walnut, pawpaw and blackgum are several of the species found in the bottomland areas.

The mapping is offered as a general guide as to the location of the property, but no guarantee is made as to the exact location of these boundaries. All provided mapping is based on CAD, GIS aerial photo interpretation using deed call information, and ground checks of a few assumed corner and line markers.

This to-be-divided 154 acres is offered at $3,480 per acre. The Sellers are retaining all oil & gas minerals. No seller financing is available.
