The open pastures have supported hay production and grazing for generations. The fertile soils and rolling terrain are well-suited for bermudagrass, bahiagrass, and other improved forages common to East Texas operations. The established fields allow for immediate income potential through hay sales or cattle grazing without the years of soil preparation and seeding that raw land requires. Pastures are ready for cattle, horses, or continued hay production.
Mature Hardwood Timber and Wildlife Corridors
Wooded drainages contain oak, hickory, and pine characteristic of the Piney Woods ecoregion. These mature stands provide essential livestock shade during summer months, natural privacy screening from neighboring properties, and habitat attractive for Whitetail deer, wild hog, and small game, including squirrel, rabbit, and dove. The mix of open pasture and forested bottomland creates the edge habitat that supports healthy wildlife populations for hunting and observation.
Stocked Pond for Livestock and Wildlife
The 0.15-acre stock tank provides reliable water for cattle and horses while attracting wildlife year-round. This established pond eliminates the significant expense of drilling a well or constructing new water features and supports both agricultural operations and the property's appeal for hunting and outdoor recreation.
3,500 Square Foot Metal Barn
The large metal barn accommodates tractors, implements, hay storage, and livestock shelter under one roof. This versatile structure converts easily to a workshop, equipment storage, or agricultural operation headquarters. Finding acreage with a barn of this size already constructed significantly reduces startup costs for farming or ranching operationsnew construction of comparable facilities would cost substantially more than the property's existing infrastructure.
Existing Utilities and Country Home
Electricity, water service, and a conventional septic system are already in place. This infrastructure delivers thousands of dollars in savings compared to raw land purchases and eliminates permitting delays and contractor scheduling that can extend move-in timelines by months. Buyers can focus resources on improvements rather than basic utility installation.
The existing home offers a practical path to country living without new construction timelines. Modest updates transform this structure into a functional residence or a weekend cabin, while planning a custom build elsewhere on the acreage.
