Location And Access: The property is located at 4123 FM 752 S, Rusk, TX 75785, in Cherokee County. The location is approximately 2 to 4 miles south of Rusk, about 11 miles north of Alto, about 17 miles south of Jacksonville, about 30 miles from Palestine, about 35 miles from Nacogdoches and about 45 miles from Tyler. Access is provided from FM 752, and the internal asphalt drive gives a finished entry into the property. After entering, the driveway passes the pond, continues through pine timber with broad grassy shoulders, then turns north and opens toward the log home positioned on the hillside.

Land And Water: The land is a balanced mix of open and wooded acreage. The open and pasture areas total approximately 36 acres, while the pond is approximately 6.2 acres, with the remainder in mature pine and hardwood timber. The pond is centrally located and contributes to both the property setting and recreational use. The seller reports a long history of lake management, including forage fish, grass carp, threadfin shad, tilapia, bluegill, lime applications and periodic survey work. These details should be independently verified, but they reflect a consistent owner focus on water and fishery management.

Wildlife And Habitat: The property is high fenced, with the perimeter fence reportedly installed in 2008. The seller reports a managed whitetail deer herd of approximately 50 head, along with roughly 16 to 20 blackbuck antelope. The property has been managed with protein feeders, corn feeders, food plots, trail cameras, selective harvest and limited disturbance in larger timbered areas. While the high fence and herd history are notable, the timber cover, trails, pasture edges and water all contribute to the recreational character of the land. Native East Texas habitat in this area commonly includes loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, red oak, white oak, post oak, hickory, sweetgum, elm, dogwood, yaupon, greenbriar and seasonal browse. Area wildlife commonly includes whitetail deer, feral hogs, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, waterfowl, doves, songbirds and other Pineywoods species.

Home And Living Improvements: The log home was reportedly constructed in 1999 and extensively remodeled in 2014. The home is reported to include approximately 2,128 square feet of living area with three bedrooms, two baths, a large open living and dining area, an attached 768 square foot garage and a large attached carport. Interior features include log home accents, knotty pine walls and ceilings, hand-scraped hardwood type flooring, built-ins, custom woodwork, a stone fireplace, a custom cedar mantle and cedar uprights. The kitchen includes high-end appliances, a built-in refrigerator and freezer, copper apron-front sink and copper ceiling tile accents. Large covered patios are located at the front and rear of the home, and the carport is reported to be approximately 28 feet by 36 feet. A stone patio and stone fire pit are located behind the carport, and the home is served by a whole-house propane generator.

Ranch Improvements: Below the home are several supporting improvements, including a two-stall horse barn, loafing shed, small pen, finished garage/shop and a large equipment or RV shed. The finished garage is reported to be approximately 28 feet by 30 feet, with epoxy flooring and a restroom. Adjacent to the shop is an equipment and RV shed reported to be approximately 24 feet by 72 feet. The circle drive allows access to both the home area and the buildings below, while the elevation of the home provides views toward the pasture areas where deer are frequently observed.

Trails And Management: The property includes trails through portions of the timber and around the perimeter. The perimeter trail has been maintained to allow access for fence monitoring and general property management, with gravel crossings in some areas. The seller has intentionally left larger sections of timber less disturbed to provide cover and holding areas for wildlife. Current hunting improvements are reported to include box blinds, tower stands, feeders and related ranch equipment, with personal property inclusions subject to final agreement between buyer and seller.
