22.61 Acres, Rusk County, Texas

Posted on: October 2nd, 2023

A secluded spot for a retirement home or a weekend getaway that is only 10 miles southeast of Henderson on an all-weather county road, this approximately 22.61 acres has excellent access, nice gentle terrain, a diverse native forest, and a beautiful spring-fed branch along the back boundary. The native forest has a mix of pine and hardwoods, and was last harvested in the early 1990s according to the owner. The property is suitable for hunting, with plenty of sign of whitetail deer, feral hogs and squirrels.

The native forests on this property have a wide assortment of species including loblolly and shortleaf pine, white oak, black cherry, ash, shortleaf pine, water oak, black oak, sweetgum, southern red oak, American elm, Florida maple, American holly, cherrybark red oak, mulberry and hornbeam.

The very fine sandy loam soils are excellent for growing both pine and hardwood. The future owner will have several land management options on this property; a thinning harvest; a total harvest and replant; or allowing the forest to continue to grow for future harvesting. The terrain and soils also appear that they would be suitable for establishing pasture.

This land lays along and on the west side of the county road, offering excellent access. The approximate 22.61 acres includes an estimated half an acre or so in the county road right-of-way. Tax roll data and deeds show 26.4 acres, but the land offered in this sale does not include the 3.79 acres east of the county road.

51.7 Acres, Rusk County, Texas

Posted on: October 2nd, 2023

This 51.7 acres of pleasantly rolling, well-drained land offers an excellent combination of pasture and forest, potential house sites, beautiful upland creeks, good recreational opportunities, and convenient access. Located a few miles north of the Caledonia community, only 15 minutes from either Mt. Enterprise or Timpson, and 30 minutes from Nacogdoches, Carthage or Henderson, this land is perfectly situated to be that get-away spot that so many folks are looking for in todays world. This is an ideal upland site on which to build a weekend cabin or a country home. It offers a very nice setting with good privacy, easy access, and several potential land management options from which to choose.

The roughly 18 acres of pastureland includes the front 14-acre field that should be suitable for hay production. The land is fenced and currently leased for cattle grazing. The lease could be maintained with the current leasee, or terminated at the Buyers discretion. The leasee has done a good job in maintaining the property. This could be an ideal property to graze cattle, cut hay, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country life.

The spring-fed sandy-bottomed creek along the eastern boundary has about a 500-acre watershed, and according to a lifelong resident, has always flowed to some degree even in dry weather. This creek provides water for livestock. The available mapping does not indicate a FEMA floodplain on this land.

The loamy fine sandy soil is suitable for growing grass or pine trees, while the sandy loam along the creeks grows good pine and hardwood timber. This native forest contains a wide variety of loblolly and shortleaf pine, white oak, red oak, sweetgum, elm, holly, blackgum, hickory and elm. One outstanding old post oak at the edge of the northern pasture and the head of a branch is a notable character tree, and is worth a stop to admire.

The forested areas have been thinned years ago, and currently appear to be growing well. The soils in this area have a history of good wet-weather timber harvesting capability. A buyer would have options in terms of an immediate harvest and replant, a thinning, or just letting it grow for future harvesting. Of course, the fields could be a candidate for reforestation.

Cattle grazing has afforded excellent vegetation control in the forest understory, giving this land a park-like appearance in the woods. The white oaks and other hardwoods along the creek drains are really scenic areas, and would make a dramatic background for a home place. Several ridges in between the forested branches offer secluded spots for a home, while retaining ready access to the county roads.

In terms of hunting, there are openings in various locations that are excellent for setting up blinds and feeders. The pipeline easement, fields and wide-open woods along the creek drains offer nice hunting areas. Lake Murvaul is ten minutes to the north on FM 1971.

Located at the old Eulalie lumbering community north of present-day Caledonia, this property has a long history of small-farm settlements from the 1880s. Having a post office in the 1890s, being home to 150 people with stores, churches, a physician and a school, the community was renamed Bryce in the latter 1900s as the population decreased to the few dozen living in the area today.

The property features long frontages on hard-topped County Road 3251 on its south, and the graded sandy County Road 3252 on its west side. There is easy access to FM 1971 (.35 of a mile) and US Hwy 84 (1.9 miles). The Property has excellent internal access across fields and along the pipeline right-of-way.

There is a gate at the northwestern corner on CR 3252 at the pipeline right-of-way, the main gate at the southwest corner at the intersection of the two county roads, and one gate south of the barn on CR 3251 in the southeastern corner of the main field. An old barn is located on the eastern side of the 14-acre main field, and has some old corral fencing in the back. With a bit of cleanup and work it appears that it will be functional.

This deed-described 51.7 acres is offered at $3,900 per acre, with the boundary lines in all probability requiring a resurvey for refining the boundary description to modern standards. Seller is retaining all owned oil & gas minerals.

This property is currently under Ag/Timber Valuation on the taxes, which for 2020 show to have been $63.89 with the Ag/Timber reduction.

Other property notes:

Electric Power on and across property
Landline telephone along county road
1,200 feet of frontage on County Road 3251 and over 1,450 feet on County Road 3252

154.24 ACRES, RUSK COUNTY, TEXAS

Posted on: October 2nd, 2023

This interesting property located along the banks of Golondrina Creek just north of Garrison near the Arlam community has had its native pine and hardwood forests professionally managed for years. The conservative strategy of thinning harvests and patiently letting the timber grow has resulted in an unusual size and grade of pine sawtimber, as well as some of the hardwoods. A good portion of the pine sawtimber offers an excellent opportunity for the timber investor. Much of this pine timber appears to meet a very high grade in terms of size and quality. The common diameters run in the 18-to 20-inch range, with quite a few observed in the 30-inch class. Merchantable heights on these native pines are running well in excess of three 16-foot logs on the average; much of this pine is 4-logs or taller.

Golondrina Creek is a major perennial stream with beautiful scenery along its banks, and is the southeastern boundary of the property. About a third of this tract is in the creek bottoms associated with Golondrina and two of its tributaries. These soils, while naturally wet-natured, have produced some outstanding pine and hardwood timber. These roughly 50 acres offer an excellent site to grow future timber stands as well as excellent hunting and recreational values.

The uplands comprise about a hundred acres of very productive soils that have grown a good stand of native pines. The loamy fine sandy soils are excellent for growing both pine and hardwood. The bottomland Laneville loam soils along Golondrina Creek are very fertile, while the upland loamy fine sand soils have better drainage yet are very capable of growing good timber, as is evidenced by the present forest. This property offers an excellent opportunity to harvest timber and replant for future production, while providing good recreational attributes in the bottomland areas along the creeks. Signs of deer, squirrel, rabbit, and feral hogs were observed during site visits.

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.
Over most of the property, the understory is semi- to fully open and is easy to traverse on foot.

The southwest well site has a small pond that appears to hold water for most of the year, and is being utilized as wildlife watering location. This abandoned well site and the eastern well site can provide excellent locations for hunting blinds and feeders. An old abandoned and inactive pipeline runs from southwest to northeast across this parcel, and can be seen in several places next to old, large pines and hardwoods that have grown up on top of it.

Part of the currently-utilized historical access road leading to the old well site on the east side of the property appears to cross the adjacent property to the south. This road has been used for recreational access and timber harvesting activities in the past. The interior roads on the property have several washedout crossings that restrict vehicular access, although an ATV might can access some of these. The southwest well site lease road on the western side has a large culvert washout at the big creek branch.

This deed-described 154.24 acres is offered at $2,950 per acre, with the boundary lines requiring a resurvey for refining the boundary description to modern standards to reflect the true acreage. Due to lack of boundary line evidence and need for new survey, the sale price is best described on a per-acre basis. Property boundaries vary from relatively new fencing to old fencing to no evidence of a line. The southeastern boundary of this property follows about 4,600 feet of Golondrina Creek. The easternmost boundary has about 800 feet of frontage on County Road 3284.

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. Indications are that the actual acreage may be closer to 140 acres but only a new survey can prove this out.

The Sellers are retaining all oil & gas minerals. No seller financing is available.

This property is currently under Ag/Timber Valuation on the taxes. A rough estimate would be about $215 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 800 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.

120 ACRES, CASS COUNTY, TEXAS

Posted on: September 20th, 2023

The pleasant rolling terrain of southern Cass County is the setting for this well-managed property, located in the old Pruett community 14 miles equidistant of Linden and Jefferson. This tract is well situated for the growing and marketing of timber, as well as a recreational getaway. Situated in the Caddo Lake watershed, the famous lake is only a half-hour drive from the property.

The approximately 92 acres of 20-year-old improved loblolly pine plantation is growing on sandy loam soils with a good productivity site index around 85. This land has been managed for the past twenty-three years as a timber investment property, and the latest science in site preparation and seedling sourcing was utilized in the reforestation.

The pine plantation is of good volume and quality, and was improvement thinned in 2012, so it is well on its way to next harvest opportunity. A timber volume estimate done immediately after the first thinning shows a good pine volume of about two and a quarter truck-loads per acre. Subsequent growth in the past five years has resulted in a substantial volume of standing pine timber growing on a site with better than average harvesting conditions.

Kouffmann Branch flows through the northwest corner of the property, providing shelter and water for wildlife on about 14 acres of hardwood and pine. This land is well suited for owner recreation and hunting, or it could readily be leased to generate income.

This land is access by driving two miles east of Highway 59 on FM Road 2683, then traveling one mile north on Cass County Road 1764 to a gated deeded access road to the west. The eastern boundary of the tract is 4/10ths of a mile from the county road. The tract boundaries have been maintained, being kept marked with blue paint and posted signs.

Call for the gate combination.
