Here is a forested property with a remarkably attractive hardwood creek bottom forest, well-drained uplands, excellent hunting and recreational aspects, a better-than-average native timber component, and superb access on both sides of an oil-topped county road. Whether you a pitch a deer camp, or build a weekend cabin or a home, this land represents what many real estate buyers are looking for in todays market. It is located a few miles southeast of Gary in southern Panola County, only 15 minutes from Carthage, and 45 minutes to an hour from Nacogdoches, Longview, Marshall or Henderson.

The native forests on this property are a combination of older large trees, medium-aged and younger trees, with a very wide assortment of species. It has been many years since timber was cut, and the understory is semi- to fully open in most places. As with most East Texas land, this property was farmed by the Sellers predecessors, still showing the field terraces and, in some spots, even the plowed furrows can still be seen. It is a undisturbed forest, a delight to walk through, and is ideal for hunting, hiking, or just exploring.

Henderson Creek is a nice-sized perennial stream with beautiful bluffs and ridges above its banks. The creek bottom runs north-to-south across the property in its western section, with a very attractive rolling terrain gradually leading downhill from the eastern uplands. It is forested with white oak, beech, ash, Florida maple, American holly, black oak, cherrybark red oak, southern red oak, mulberry and hornbeam. While most of this land is well-drained uplands, there are small areas holding water in the creek bottom along the toe of the hillside that are home to blackgum, sweetgum and water hickory.

The uplands are dominated by loblolly and shortleaf pine, water oak, black oak, ash, sweetgum, southern red oak, and elm. These old-field stands have recovered from the last harvesting, being now fully stocked with vigorous-growing pines, oaks and sweetgums. The scattered and very large old field trees offer a good contrast with the younger timber, and are comprised of southern red oaks, water oaks, and some outstanding and scenic eastern redcedars.

The loamy fine sandy soil is suitable for growing trees, while the bottomland soils along Henderson Creek are supporting a fine hardwood forest. The upland soils appear to have a decent wet-weather timber harvesting capability. The future owner will have several forest management options on this property; an improvement harvest in the upland sections; a total harvest and replant; or allowing the forest to continue to grow for a future timber harvest.

There is easy access via oil-topped county roads to FM 999 east of Gary (2.4 miles) and US Hwy 59 (3.9 miles). The road frontage and electric line offers an easy setup for one or more building sites on either side of the county road. Being approximately 10 acres on the east side of the county road, and about 89 acres on the west, this situation gives a buyer control over security and privacy with ample locations for siting a home out-of-sight to the west side, while retaining the forested road frontage.

An old house site is located west-southwest of the eastern well site, with a partially-grown-in access road leading in from the south boundary of well site location. A decrepit house, outbuildings and a water well of unknown depth or functionality is located at this site. Opening up the old road into this scenic area would not be difficult, and it goes past the old house site to the south boundary line. An old stock tank to the southwest of the well site, with its dam located along the south property boundary line, was holding water at the time of inspection in November 2020.

This deed-described 99.5 acres is offered at $2,990 per acre, with the boundary lines possibly requiring a resurvey for refining the boundary description to modern standards. Property boundaries appear to be old fencing with some recently-applied pink flagging. No guarantees are made as to the exact location of these boundaries, although they appear to approximately align with the Panola County Appraisal District mapping. All provided mapping is based on CAD data.
