This 26.13-acre property is located in a secluded forest setting overlooking a beech-lined creek. It combines building sites with community water and electric service with an attractive backyard forest for recreation. There are opportunities for hunting, observing wildlife, or just the enjoyment of an uncommonly open woodland. Over much of the property, the understory is semi- to fully open and is easy to traverse on foot. The land has interesting topography with the mix of uplands and creek bottom. The sandy loam and fine sand soils offer excellent drainage as well as providing good fertility and a favorable site for a mixed forest of white and red oaks, magnolias, beech and pine. Like a lot of East Texas forestlands, this property was once part of a large timber company holding. The uplands were harvested and loblolly pine plantation was established in the late 1990s, while the bottomland along the two creeks had some pine interplanted in the native pine and hardwood timber. This property has approximately 13 acres in planted pine, about 12 acres of mixed pine and hardwood in the creek bottomland, and about an acre total of woods roads openings and county road. The pine plantations on the south side uplands have been thinned several years ago, while the remaining timber has not been thinned since the late 1990s. The volume and quality of the large, tall pine timber in the bottomlands is impressive, while the uplands have average-to-good pine timber volumes. Easily accessed on county roads less than a mile and half from U.S. Hwy 96, the land is only six miles from the town of San Augustine. Both Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn lakes are a 30-minute drive from this property.
