21.4492 Acres, Trinity County, Texas

Posted on: September 20th, 2023

This is a densely forested land in a remote area readily accessed on a county road with power and landline telephone available. The native forest has a mix of very large and tall mature pines and hardwoods towering above the neighboring woods. The pine timber was last thinned around ten years ago, and offers a fairly substantial volume of higher grade, very tall sawtimber. The hardwood component increases towards the eastern end, with a few small wet-weather drains cutting across the property.

The property has been used for timber production and hunting, with plenty of sign of whitetail deer. This land has been hunted under a lease for many years; there is not a current lease contract. The leasees have kept several lanes and trails open; the main road leading east has a 50-yard or so section in the center of the property that needs simple brushing back from the road edges. No blinds or feeders are offered with the property.

The fine sandy loam soils are excellent for growing both pine and hardwood, and are suitable for establishing pasture judging from neighboring lands. The native forests on this property have a wide assortment of species including loblolly and shortleaf pine, white oak, water oak, black oak, sweetgum, southern red oak, American elm, Florida maple, American holly and hornbeam.

This land lays along the county road known as TrinLady Park Road, and includes a small triangle of about a quarter-acre on the west side of the county road. The total acres include about .17 of an acre in the county road right-of-way according to the existing survey from 1984. The north lines appear to be fenced and several of the corners were identifiable. There is a distinct timber type change along the southern boundary.

All provided mapping is based on Trinity County Appraisal District, a 1984 survey and GIS aerial photo interpretation using deed call information, with ground checks of assumed corner and line markers. No guarantee is offered or implied concerning the acreage nor boundary line locations.

This 21.4492 acres is offered at $7,226 per acre or $155,000.

There are no minerals available. No seller financing is available. There are no known improvements on this property.

The property is currently under Ag/Timber Valuation on the taxes, which show to have been approximately $67 this past year. A New Owner will be responsible to apply for Ag/Timber Valuation at the County Appraisal District, as the valuations are tied to the landowner, not the land. See comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/ag-timber/index.php
Electric Power (believed to be Houston County Electric Coop) runs along the western property line just west of and parallel to the county road, running northwest to southeast.
The eastern boundary is approximately 160 feet of frontage on TrinLady Park Road.
Telephone landline is along west side of county road.
Septic and water supply well will need to be installed.

56 ACRES, RUSK COUNTY, TEXAS

Posted on: September 20th, 2023

This Rusk County timberland property is 13 miles southeast of Henderson, 10 miles north of Mt. Enterprise, and 30 miles north of Nacogdoches. Located in the rolling sandy highlands between the Minden and Brachfield communities, this woodland is a pleasing mix of planted loblolly pine plantation and native pine-hardwood forest with beautiful streamside hardwoods. This property offers great recreational aspects as well as timber production, with an attractive appearance to the mixed pine and hardwood forest. This is not your typical pine plantation property; this one has a very diverse forested habitat and nice hilly terrain features.

The approximately 25 acres of loblolly plantation is 15 years old, so a first-thinning harvest could occur anytime in the next five years, depending on the owner’s management goals. The native forest includes white oak, cherrybark red oak, water oak, hickory, blackgum, sweetgum, shortleaf pine and loblolly pine. The streamside corridors are gorgeous, being mostly undisturbed for many years, resulting in an open understory and tall hardwoods surrounding the sandy-bottom streams. This property will make a nice hunting property, with good internal access along an old logging road on the west, and a pipeline right-of-way on the east.

The deep sandy soils have demonstrated excellent wet-weather timber harvesting capability in the past, thus potentially increasing forest product marketing opportunities.

A quarter-mile of County Road 3125 runs through the northern section of the land, while a powerline parallels the south side of this county road.

Sellers are concurrently offering for sale a separate 92.19 acre tract located 500 feet north of this 56-acre tract on CR 3125.

All references herein to acreages, property boundary locations, tree ages, timber volumes or quality, improvements or utilities are approximations or estimates, and are offered only as a general guide, and are not guaranteed in any way, being based existing public documents and interpretations of aerial photography. Unless specifically stated, no formal land surveying by a licensed surveyor has been used in determining acreages or boundary lines. Potential buyers are strongly urged to verify all pertinent facts for themselves.

1,067 ACRES, McINTOSH COUNTY, OKLAHOMA

Posted on: September 18th, 2023

Imagine owning 1,067 contiguous acres of hunting and recreation rights located on a major perennial stream, with extensive hardwood bottomlands, substantial marshes, and upland fields interlaced with good game cover, being located within about an hours’ drive of Tulsa or Ft. Smith, just a few miles north of Warner and 15 miles south of Muskogee in the northeast corner of McIntosh County, Oklahoma. This is a truly unique opportunity to acquire privately-owned land with outstanding hunting and recreational rights at $1,150 per acre, which is significantly lower than the average recreational property.

This land offers excellent hunting for deer, ducks, feral hogs and squirrel in upland and bottomland areas. The diversity of the habitat on this land is of the highest quality, with small openings, creeks, sloughs, old stock tanks, large fields, three major marshes and large areas of remarkably attractive bottomland forest with a clean understory providing excellent hunting conditions. This land offers a hunter the opportunity to traverse over seven hundred acres of forest something that most people can only dream of being able to do.

The three large marshes have provided excellent duck hunting opportunities according to previous leasees. The largest marsh, which covers about forty-five to fifty acres on average years, has unusually good access with open fields being located along the north margin. The smaller marsh complex is in the northwestern end of the property, and encompasses about thirty acres.

About three miles of the substantial stream Dirty Creek runs from west to east through the southern section, offering fishing and other recreational opportunities. There are miles of unimproved roads and trails leading through the forests and fields.

The native forests on this property are a combination of large older trees, medium-aged and younger trees, with a very wide assortment of species. It has been many years since any timber was cut, and the understory is semi- to fully open in most places. As with most Oklahoma land, this property was farmed in the past, with a long history of crop production and cattle grazing. It is now an undisturbed forest, a delight to walk through, and is ideal for hunting, hiking, or just exploring.

The property consists of a diverse matrix of forests, shrub lands, woodlands, and herbaceous areas, with herbaceous areas comprising about 30%, while forests in various stages of maturity from young regeneration to mature forest make up 70% of the tract. The upland areas are categorized as an assortment of open fields with native grasses and forbs interspersed with forests and semi-open areas containing scattered trees and shrubs. Upland forests include post oak, blackjack oak, winged elm, eastern redcedar, green ash, chinquapin oak, and burr oak. The bottomland forests include pin oak, burr oak, silver maple, green ash, hackberry, pecan, boxelder, persimmon, Osage orange, honeylocust and American sycamore. Shrub / midstory species include Possumhaw, huckleberry, eastern redbud and flowering dogwood.

Natural Resource Conservation Service soil survey data indicate that the soils are primarily silt loams, with some rockier soils on the southern areas south of Dirty Creek.

1,032 acres of the property is under a conservation easement agreement and is being actively managed for native habitat, with funding for the prescribed burning program, vegetation control, road and boundary maintenance being provided by an endowment and executed by a conservation bank manager. The key activity is prescribed burning, which provides for excellent all-around wildlife habitat as well as assisting in maintaining an open nature to the woods and fields. The goal is to burn every acre possible at least once every five years, with no more than 40% of the habitat burned each year.

There are 35.05 acres in three development areas that have public road access with utilities, and are available for building homes, cabins, camps or whatever the property owner would desire. Two of these Development Areas are located on the northern side of the land, which is the McIntosh-Muskogee County line on County Road E1010. The 15.5-acre Development Area 1 is located on an upland site and is primarily in an open field, with some large walnut and red oak trees, as well as the old original barn and farmyard site. The 5.9-acre Development Area 2 overlooks the largest natural marsh and is tucked into the corner of a field against the woods and the marsh. The 13.65-acre Development Area 3 is located on the southern boundary off of County Road E1020, on an upland forested site on the south bank of Dirty Creek.

The property owner will be under no obligation to accomplish any of these habitat management activities, but will be required to cooperate with the conservation bank manager, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, and the conservation easement holder. The property cannot be subdivided, no consumptive activities such as logging or mining are allowed, and land title transactions require the approval of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.

The property owner will only be responsible for whatever improvements are desired on any of the three development areas, providing their own non-permanent hunting blinds and feeders, and if desired establishing and maintaining up to a total of 10 acres of food plots (for example, could be twenty half-acre plots) planted with native species or commonly-used non-invasive non-native species such as corn, wheat, rye, clover, cowpeas, soybeans, oats, sunflower, etc.

A summary of the conservation project, the complete land survey, and other information is provided in the document download section.

Oil & Gas minerals are not available.
Electric Power, cable television and telephone are located on both the north and side boundaries of the property along the county road frontages.
The south county road additionally has community water.
Warner Public School District.
One gas well site is on property, in the south section within the Development Area 3 footprint, with the access road off of county road E 1020. Several plugged/abandoned gas wells are located in the forested area north of Dirty Creek.

Once a part of a farming operation dating back to the early 1900’s, this Sabine River front property is on a high bank and a well-drained, sandy-soil ridge. This land now has a great combination of beautiful hardwoods, tall pines overlooking the river bank, and young baldcypress on the water’s edge.

62.4 Acres, Nacogdoches County, Texas

Posted on: September 18th, 2023

A really good forest of commercially-valuable native and planted pine dominates this property along with native hardwoods primarily along the drainages. An upland site with no indicated floodplain, this timberland has good timber growth ratings and has been conservatively managed for many decades. The timber on this property is far above average; some of the older pine plantation is unthinned and would probably justify investigating if some would qualify for powerline pole material. There are exceptionally large, tall native pines and cherrybark red oaks present in the southeastern and eastern sections of the property.

An oil / gas well is located in the southwestern portion of the property, with a pipeline running along portions of the western and southwestern boundary. The western and northern boundaries are not apparently fenced, but have an abrupt timber-type change. The south and east boundary have old up-and-down fences. These are merely indications of the general location of the boundaries and are not guaranteed nor confirmed to reflect the actual legal boundaries of the property offered for sale.

This property has no known legal access except through adjacent ownerships. The oil well is currently accessed off of CR 195, crossing approximately 400 feet of non-owned property. The south property boundary line borders the north margin of a private road, and has its southwest corner just north of the church. Prospective buyers must arrange permission for physical access for themselves.

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 deed-called 62.4 acres is offered at $2,895 per acre or $180,648. The Sellers are retaining all oil & gas minerals. No seller financing is available.

A separate 7.74-acre parcel located on CR 195 is also offered individually that lies just to the north and west of this 62.4-acre tract.

This property is currently under Ag/Timber Valuation on the taxes. 2021 Tax records show $234.66 in taxes in total.
Electric Power (believed to be Deep East Texas Electric Coop) appears to be on the west side of CR 195 and to the south of the property.
No improvements, buildings, or deer blinds are included in the offering.
Residents in the area appear to be on water wells, and state website maps do not show a community water service area at this site. The Arlam-Concord WSC water district boundary appears to be about 800 feet north of this property.
Garrison ISD School District.
No FEMA floodplain apparent on mapping.

30.414 Acres, NACOGDOCHES COUNTY, TEXAS

Posted on: September 18th, 2023

The woods road leading from the southeast corner of the property to the north boundary was recently opened up for easy access off of FM 1087. This property is located in the Central Heights school district, and is conveniently located only 8.8 miles from the school and 15 minutes from Nacogdoches. Located in the relatively high-elevation rolling hills of northern Nacogdoches County, the sandy soils were planted with loblolly pine and recently had the first selective thinning harvest completed. The soils show to be well-suited for timber production, and have produced good timber harvests. The high upland site offers other future potentials such as domestic wind power, solar power or possibly communication tower siting.

This land has an attractive forest of planted and native pine intermixed with areas of hardwoods. This 30.414 acre tract could make a very nice homestead, a good weekend retreat spot, all the while providing future income potential from the managed forest.

The Sellers are offering 50% of their owned minerals. Utilities along FM 1087 include telephone, water, power and gas.

Access is by a deeded 21-foot wide easement from FM 1087 to the southernmost southeast corner of the property. Historical logging access has been just west of the northeast corner of the property, on County Road 149 (Spurrier Road). The recent first-thinning harvesting operation has reopened the woods road through the property.

All references herein to acreages, tree ages, improvements or utilities are approximations or estimates, and are offered only as a general guide, and are not guaranteed in any way, being based existing public documents, and interpretations of aerial photography. Unless specifically stated, no formal land surveying by a licensed surveyor has been used in determining acreages. Potential buyers are strongly urged to verify all pertinent facts for themselves.
