BORDERING THE DAVY CROCKETT NATIONAL FOREST WITH TWO CREEKS, HILLS, AND ELECTRICAL ACCESS.
This property would support a premiere Houston County hunting retreat or a top tier private ranch / homestead property in an unbeatable location.
The entire eastern boundary is shared with the 160,000 Acre Davy Crockett National Forest. Because of which, the amount of game on the property is exceptional, with numerous scrapes, tree rubs, and large game trails. A landowner could easily walk off this property and hunt, camp or hike this massive expanse of National Forest land.
This portion of the Davy Crockett National Forest is truly something special, with very little traffic and thousands of acres of amazing mature forest land to hunt, along with miles of trails, numerous lakes, rivers and ponds, and much more. You do not pass a single home from the Farm to Market road to this property, the drive is solely through the National Forest. Rarely do you find property in such a coveted location.
A small natural spring with year-round water runs along the Westernmost boundary. Also, a large flat of towering mature oak and pine trees are situated along this portion, lending to several excellent bow stand spots. The large seasonal Hager Creek runs directly through the middle of this land, and converges with this spring all on this acreage. During the uncommonly dry summers, this creek will cease to flow. However most of the time this creek has a healthy 2-4 foot flow of water through it, and can exceed 8 foot deep in the wet seasons. Additionally, there are several excellent locations for large pond / lake construction in the middle of this property along this creek where the topography becomes "bowl-like".
A sizable hill is located near the front of the property, and extends along the eastern and southern portions of the property, providing plenty of highland usability above the creek bottom areas. The high point near the front of the property would be an exceptional building site, situated above where the two creeks flow together. At this site, it is easy to tell that additional underbrushing of the young pines would open up one of the better building spots that you could ask for. This property does have 30-35% of the acreage in the floodplain. However, it is apparent that a substantial amount of this land rarely (if ever) flood, and as previously mentioned, the ridge runs perfectly for transversing the entire property. This percentage of floodplain can be expected with over 4,000 feet of live water perimeter located on a single 60 Acre property!
This property has no restrictions, electricity on site, new survey in place, Davy Crockett National Forest boundary, rare and quite location, and is only 10 minutes to Kennard TX, 10 minutes to the Neches River, 15 minutes to Ratcliff Lake Recreational Area, and 35 minutes to Lufkin TX. A diamond in the rough is an understatement, this property could easily be turned into a jaw-dropping hunting ranch or a homestead / personal ranch showplace.
