Located just 10 miles east of Henderson along FM 1251, this 45.78-acre ranchette offers a comfortable mix of open pasture, scattered timber, and water features. With a cabin, shop, bunkroom, and multiple ponds in place, the property provides an ideal setting for weekend retreats, recreational use, or small-scale agricultural pursuits. It’s quiet, ridge-top location offers privacy and views while remaining within easy reach of Henderson, Carthage, and the surrounding East Texas communities.
A 576-square-foot cabin sits tucked into the wooded, southern hillside and features a large front deck and oversized screened back patio that expand the living space outdoors. The cabin includes one open room serving as kitchen, dining, and living areas, a small bedroom and bath, plus a small loft accessed by a circular staircase. Just beyond, a shop building and bunkroom with a full bath provide added storage, workspace, and guest accommodations. A nearby equipment shed offers space for an ATV, tractor, or trailer. The improvements are accessed by a long gravel driveway that winds across the property, crossing Beard Branch via a sturdy bridge.
This property supports a variety of East Texas wildlife, including whitetail deer, feral hogs, squirrel, rabbit, and songbirds. The ponds and creek attract ducks and other waterfowl in season. Whether hunting, fishing, or simply enjoying the scenery, the property provides year-round recreational opportunities. The ridge where the cabin sits offers peaceful views of improved pasture to the south and a timbered draw leading down toward the northern pond.
This 45.78-acre tract offers a rare balance of improvements, water features, open land, and natural beauty in a peaceful setting convenient to two thriving East Texas communities. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape, a recreational retreat, or a manageable homestead, this property delivers privacy, versatility, and value.
