62.76 Acres Trawick, Nacogdoches County TX

Posted on: February 14th, 2024

Located in northern Nacogdoches County in the community of Trawick, this deed-called 62.76 acres offers a unique timber investment in a rural location about fifteen minutes from town. It is somewhat unusual to find an unthinned plantation of this age and planting density on the market; most timberland offerings have already had a first thinning harvest, thus limiting the management options for the land buyer.

Delayed timing of the first thinning is important to allow pines to develop height and to naturally prune their limbs, thus aiding in growing good pine sawtimber trees. There are no magic ages at which a loblolly pine plantation must be thinned; if tree height growth is occurring the better the opportunity for good sawtimber in the future. This plantation offers the opportunity to work towards that goal, but it certainly could be first-thinned if that is the landowners desire and fits with their forest management goals. Landowners who understand long-term strategies for producing pine sawtimber should take a look at this property.

The unthinned approximately 14-year loblolly pine plantation was machine planted following harvesting and resulted in good overall survival. The number of trees per acre is a vital factor in growing good sawtimber trees, as the crowding of the trees is what results in better quality timber. This plantation has excellent stocking levels, as seen in the accompanying ground and aerial photographs.

The LaCerda clay loam occupies 90% of the site, with Kirvin fine sandy loam being 10% of the area in the northeastern corner. The USDA soil survey indicates a site index of 80 for these soils which is a measurement commonly used by foresters to describe the productivity of a site. Typically, this measurement is used to describe sites growing well-stocked even-aged forests. Site index is the average height of the dominant and codominant trees on the site, at a given base age, in this case 50 years.

The approximately 53 gross acres of plantation has a pipeline right-of-way through it and is the primary access through the plantation at this time. There is an active gas well on the land, with it and the entry road comprising about 2.3 acres along the northwest boundary. There is a boundary strip of primarily hardwood trees along the eastern and southern borders that makes up the rest of the acreage. The county road frontage is 175 feet wide, with a small pipeline running just off the east side of the county road. There is a small intermittent stream crossing the northeastern corner.

The northern boundary area has three-plus acres of native hardwood forest dominated by post oak and red oak, and offers a readily-accessible spot for a house or cabin. This land would appear suitable for a weekend place, or for a home with built-in recreation in the backyard. Electric power and community water are evident to be on adjacent properties, and Windstream fiber telephone is running along the west side of the county road; a check on the Windstream website indicates 100 mbps internet is available.

This property is located a short drive from supplies, shopping and health care in Nacogdoches.

21.4492 Acres, Trinity County, Texas

Posted on: October 19th, 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.

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.

56 ACRES, RUSK COUNTY, TEXAS

Posted on: October 15th, 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.

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: October 14th, 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.

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.
