Description

Set within one of East Texas’ most naturally abundant corridors, this wooded 103± acre tract offers a rare blend of seclusion, natural beauty, and turnkey recreational appeal. An iron-ore trail leads you deep into the heart of the property where a three-bedroom hunting lodge sits perched above a picturesque 5 and a half acre lake. From the lodge’s elevated vantage point, dramatic views stretch across the water and onto the surrounding woods creating an atmosphere that feels both wild and wonderfully private.

The land itself is a haven for sportsmen and nature enthusiasts. Mature timber, natural draws, and diverse habitat support thriving populations of whitetail deer, hogs and small game. Whether you’re hunting, watching wildlife, or simply exploring the woods, the property offers endless adventure. Established trails and clearings create easy access throughout the acreage, while the iron-ore track provides a distinctive, durable route to the lodge and around the lake.

A prepared slab near the lodge has plans for future guest accommodations—perfect for expanding the ranch into a multi-generational getaway or hosting friends during hunting season. With a timber exemption already in place, the property benefits from favorable tax treatment while preserving the ecological integrity of the land.

The 5-acre spring-fed lake enhances both the recreational and aesthetic value of the property. Its serene shoreline is ideal for fishing, kayaking, or quiet mornings on the porch overlooking the water. The lodge’s placement above the lake creates a striking focal point, blending rustic charm with the comfort of a well-designed basecamp.
