A great opportunity to own 171 acres of East Texas timberland and recreation ground just outside Hughes Springs. This property offers a great mix of mature timber, wildlife habitat, ATV trails, and a nice pond. Ideal for hunting, riding, and weekend retreats. Texas Parks & Wildlife has completed an ecological assessment, providing valuable insight into the land’s natural history. Their findings suggest the tract may have been mined prior to 1964, likely for iron ore or gravel, with vegetation naturally reestablishing beginning in 1985. The property has remained largely undisturbed since the mid-1990s, allowing decades of natural regrowth and habitat development. Aside from some attempted pine plantings and the construction of a small pond along County Road 2977, the land has seen minimal activity, contributing to its rich wildlife presence and mature timber cover. Utilities and fiber-optic internet are believed to be at the road, making this a great candidate for cabins, weekend setups, or future improvements. The property also includes partial fencing and two metal storage buildings for equipment and gear. The property fronts several roads including CR 2977 and FM 250. This tract is currently out of ag exemption but has qualified for 5 of the past 7 years. The sellers are actively working with Texas Parks & Wildlife to move the property into a wildlife management exemption. Property lines are unique and irregular, creating a more secluded interior and giving the land a one-of-a-kind layout that sets it apart from typical rectangular parcels. Plenty of opportunity to sell off smaller parcels. A solid opportunity for buyers wanting a private East Texas timber, hunting, and recreation retreat with decades of habitat already in place. Thoughtfully priced to give buyers exceptional value considering the size, location, and unique features of the property.
