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.

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.

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.

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.
