863 Acres of Prime East Texas Hunting Land with Nearly 2 Miles of Sabine River Frontage The Getaway is a convergence of land, water, and wildlife that serious hunters and recreational land buyers spend years searching for. Positioned squarely on US Highway 80 between Dallas and Shreveport, this 863-acre property in Upshur and Wood counties carries nearly two miles of Sabine River frontage, 2.5 miles of Rogers Creek running through the interior, hardwood bottoms stacked with deer, sloughs that hold birds when the migration pushes through, and approximately 150 acres of mature Loblolly Pine plantation that adds both timber value and thick, thermal cover. Five pipeline right-of-ways cut natural shooting lanes through the property. Multiple established shooting houses are already in place. The infrastructure is built. The habitat is dialed in. You show up, hang your coat, and hunt.   Whitetail Deer Hunting | 180-Class Bucks Harvested on This Property The hardwood bottoms and creek drainages at The Getaway hold the kind of whitetail hunting that keeps serious deer hunters coming back season after season. The canopy is a mix of Post Oak, Willow Oak, Water Oak, Red Oak, Cherry Bark Oak, Shumard Red Oak, Black Hickory, and Black Gum; mature mast producers that draw deer out of the timber and into range during the rut and early season. Rogers Creek and the Sabine River corridor create natural travel routes that concentrate deer movement and make patterning big bucks a matter of patience, not luck. The property’s track record speaks for itself: 180-class Whitetails have been harvested here. Five pipeline right-of-ways function as ready-made shooting lanes and food plot candidates. Multiple shooting houses are in position and ready to hunt. The Getaway has the genetics, the habitat, and the pressure history to produce mature bucks. It does not need a rebuild; it needs new boots!   Duck Hunting on Sloughs, Flooded Timber, and Sabine River Bottoms When the migration stacks up in East Texas, The Getaway becomes a different kind of place entirely. The sloughs are loaded with Duckweed and Smartweed and ringed by timber that pins birds and keeps them working. Flooded timber and creek bottoms along Rogers Creek and the Sabine produce the kind of natural habitat that holds puddle ducks throughout the season; no pumps, no artificial flooding, just the land working the way it was designed to work. Wood Ducks, Teal, Mallard, and other puddle ducks have been taken here in past seasons. Cleared roads and interior trails provide direct access to every duck hunting area on the property without walking out at dark in knee-deep water.   Sabine River Fishing | Bass, Catfish, Crappie, and Alligator Gar The Sabine River, which runs along the property boundary, is a working East Texas river fishery, not a supplemental amenity. Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Blue Catfish, Bream, Buffalo, Carp, and Alligator Gar all inhabit the river. Rogers Creek adds additional holding water inside the property. Whether you are running lines, throwing a topwater at first light, or fly fishing the creek edges during summer, the water at The Getaway fishes hard across multiple species and seasons without leaving the property. For the angler who wants a base camp with serious river access, the combination of Sabine frontage and interior creek mileage makes this property a compelling setup.   Hog Hunting, Small Game, and Year-Round Opportunities The Getaway does not go quiet between deer and duck seasons. Wild hogs are active throughout the property, and the creek bottoms and pine thickets provide exactly the kind of rooting, denning, and travel cover that keeps populations moving and huntable year-round. Bobcats, Coyotes, and Squirrels round out the small game and predator opportunities. The diverse habitat, from river bottoms to pine plantations to open fields, supports a full rotation of hunting activity from archery season through late winter, with hogs bridging every gap in between.   Camp Headquarters | Furnished Cabin, Equipment Storage, and Walk-In Cooler The camp infrastructure at The Getaway was built for working hunters, not weekend glampers. Camp Headquarters includes a fully furnished cabin with one private bedroom, a large bunkroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a living and gathering area with a front porch. Every piece of furniture conveys. Utilities are established — Big Sandy City Water and Upshur County Rural Electric are already in place, backed by conventional septic. The support buildings are what separate this camp from a cleared lot with a cabin dropped on it. A 30×50-foot insulated equipment storage building with roll-up doors at each end handles gear, ATVs, and other equipment. A separate shed built for tractors, implements, and trailers includes a dedicated walk-in cooler for storing harvested game; the kind of setup that matters when you are stacking deer during the rut or running several hunters through a multi-day camp. The property currently holds agricultural exemption status, which carries meaningful tax advantages for the incoming owner.   Loblolly Pine Plantation | 150 Acres of Timber Value Approximately 150 acres of The Getaway are covered in four separate stands of mature Loblolly Pine plantation. In East Texas, mature Loblolly carries commercial timber value as one of the most productive and widely harvested softwood species in the Southeast, sawtimber and utility pole markets all draw from well-stocked plantation stands. Beyond the timber value, these stands deliver something equally important to hunters: income opportunities and recreational value.   Big Sandy Texas Under 2 Hours East of Dallas on Highway 80 The Getaway sits near US Highway 80 at Big Sandy, Texas, roughly halfway between Dallas and Shreveport, a location that makes this ranch genuinely accessible for buyers coming from multiple directions. Big Sandy provides immediate access to fuel, supplies, and services, while Tyler and Longview offer full-service medical facilities, retail, major grocery, and dining within a short drive. The surrounding East Texas Pineywoods region supports a strong hunting and outdoor culture, with TPWD-managed wildlife resources, nearby access to Lake O’ The Pines, Caddo Lake, and Sam Rayburn Reservoir, and a well-established community of landowners committed to serious wildlife management.   Drive Times from The Getaway: Big Sandy, TX — 5 miles, approximately 8 minutes Tyler, TX — 27 miles, approximately 35 minutes Longview, TX — 32 miles, approximately 40 minutes Dallas, TX — 113 miles, approximately 1 hour 48 minutes Shreveport, LA — 87 miles, approximately 1 hour 32 minutes   Airport Access — Regional and International Connections The Getaway’s position on Highway 80 puts multiple commercial airports within practical range for out-of-state buyers, partners, or guests who prefer to fly in and drive straight to camp.   Regional Airports: Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) — 27 miles, approximately 35 minutes East Texas Regional Airport, Longview (GGG) — 34 miles, approximately 40 minutes Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) — 85 miles, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes   Major Airports: Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — 115 miles, approximately 1 hour 50 minutes Dallas Love Field (DAL) — 110 miles, approximately 1 hour 45 minutes   Who Should Be Looking at The Getaway This property is built for the hunter who wants a camp that is already set up and producing, not a project. The infrastructure is in place, the wildlife habitat is established, and the track record on whitetail, waterfowl, and hog hunting is documented. The Sabine River frontage adds long-term recreational value that is increasingly difficult to find in East Texas at any acreage. Investors looking for a combination of recreational land, agricultural exemption, and standing timber value will find multiple income and use layers here. Buyers looking for a multi-generational hunting property that can be used immediately while holding its value will not find a setup like this assembled in one place very often.   Property Summary Property Name: The Getaway Address: Highway 80, Big Sandy, TX 75755 GPS: 32.583504715445, -95.1531373178898 Acres: 863 +/- Counties: Upshur County and Wood County, Texas River Frontage: Nearly 2 miles on the Sabine River Creek: Rogers Creek — 2.5 miles through the property Timber: Approximately 150 acres of mature Loblolly Pine (4 stands) Hunting: Whitetail Deer, Duck, Hog, Small Game, Predators Fishing: Sabine River — Bass, Catfish, Crappie, Alligator Gar, Bream Camp: Furnished cabin (1 BR + bunkroom), 30×50 equipment building, walk-in cooler shed Utilities: Big Sandy City Water, Upshur County Rural Electric, conventional septic Tax Status: Agricultural exemption in place Access: US Highway 80 frontage, cleared interior roads and trails

31.738-Acre Recreational Tract Near Bullard, Smith County Eleven acres of hardwood bottom. A creek, a spring, and a quiet pond. A hilltop home site with utilities at the road. King Farm spans 31.738 acres along FM 344 two miles east of Bullard, priced at $999,000—rural Texas land with real character, close enough to Tyler to use every weekend. Property Details: 31.738 Acres with Hardwood Bottom and FM 344 Frontage This Smith County tract offers approximately one-quarter mile of frontage along FM 344 E, with terrain that moves from flat open pasture into gently rolling ground climbing to a distinct hilltop. Roughly 11 acres of mature hardwood bottom anchor the property; deep shade, seasonal color, and the kind of canopy a century in the making. The open ground is already in improved grasses over sandy loam soil, with a barbed wire fence in place. The active agricultural exemption keeps annual taxes manageable and transfers value to the next owner. Creek, Spring, and Pond: Three Water Features on One Tract A creek runs across the northern corner of the tract, adding year-round movement to the hardwood bottom. A natural spring also sits in the north corner, contributing to the water system that keeps the bottom green through summer. A small pond rounds out the three water features as a quiet wildlife watering hole. On a tract this size, three separate water features are uncommon, and it’s what makes the property feel alive. Recreational Use and Home Site Potential At 31.738 acres, this tract supports the full range of rural Texas living. The hardwood bottom creates trails, shaded camps, and natural beauty for everyday walks. The hilltop catches the evening breeze and sits high enough for long views across the pasture and into the timber—a natural building pad for a primary home, weekend cabin, or bunkhouse. A large municipal waterline and electrical service are both available at the FM 344 county road boundary, removing the three largest infrastructure costs that typically complicate rural builds. For families, the address falls within Bullard Independent School District, a TEA-rated system ranked among the stronger rural districts in East Texas. Working Ground for Cattle or Horses For buyers who want the property to earn its keep, the open ground is ready to run cattle or horses without additional improvement. Improved grasses are established on sandy loam, the barbed wire fence is in place, and scattered hardwoods provide natural summer relief for livestock. White-tailed deer and hogs filter through the hardwood bottom between the creek, spring, and pond, supporting light recreational hunting or simple wildlife watching from the porch. Location: Two Miles from Bullard, 15 Miles South of Tyler King Farm sits on the FM 344 corridor in southern Smith County, anchored by Bullard’s small-town services and Tyler’s full regional amenities 15 miles north—shopping, UT Health East Texas, Tyler State Park, Caldwell Zoo, and the annual Texas Rose Festival. Just down the road sits Kiepersol, a 63-acre estate vineyard, distillery, and TripAdvisor’s top-rated restaurant in Tyler, meaning a weekend dinner out is a short drive.

Prime Hunting Land in East Texas Piney Woods Located just two miles from Bullard in Smith County, Ray-King Farm delivers 546 acres of diverse hunting terrain in the heart of the East Texas Piney Woods. This legacy ranch property, held by one family since 1890, offers serious hunters a rare combination of bottomland wetlands, hardwood forests, and open pastures that support year-round populations of white-tailed deer, feral hogs, waterfowl, and fur-bearing game. With nearly 2,000 feet of FM 344 frontage and rolling topography from 350 to 450 feet elevation, the property provides both accessibility and the secluded habitat structure that mature game demands. White-Tailed Deer Hunting on 546 Acres The property's terrain transitions naturally from scattered pine hilltops to oak-lined creek banks, creating ideal white-tailed deer habitat with multiple travel corridors and staging areas. Mature hardwood forests drop acorns and other mast throughout fall and winter, concentrating deer movement along predictable patterns. An established old pecan grove and approximately 100 acres of open pasture provide additional food sources and edge habitat where deer feed during low-light hours. Multiple stock tanks distributed across the property ensure reliable water sources that hold deer on the land year-round. The rolling topography and mixed cover types support both spot-and-stalk hunting and stand placement with excellent sight lines. Waterfowl Hunting: 220 Acres of Bottomland Wetlands The crown jewel for waterfowl hunters is 220 acres of West Mud Creek bottomland that creates a natural mosaic of beaver ponds, duck sloughs, and flooded timber. This extensive wetland system attracts migratory waterfowl along the Central Flyway and holds resident wood ducks throughout the season. Beaver activity maintains water levels and creates the flooded hardwood habitat that waterfowl prefer. The bottomland's mix of open water, emergent vegetation, and timber edges provides diverse hunting setups. Year-Round Feral Hog Hunting Feral hog populations thrive in the bottomland corridors and creek systems that run through the property. Texas regulations allow year-round hog hunting with no bag limits, providing action when deer and waterfowl seasons close. Night hunting opportunities add another dimension for managing this species while extending hunting days beyond daylight hours. Fur-Bearing Game and Predator Management The property's diverse habitat structure supports populations of coyote and other fur-bearers common to East Texas. Active predator management improves deer fawn survival and ground-nesting waterfowl success while providing additional hunting opportunities during fur-bearer seasons. Diverse Hunting Terrain and Habitat Types Ray-King Farm's 546 acres encompass multiple habitat types that maximize wildlife carrying capacity and hunting diversity. Pine-topped ridges transition to oak flats and bottomland hardwoods along West Mud Creek. The 220-acre bottomland creates a wildlife habitat that attracts game and provides year-round water. Approximately 100 acres of maintained hayfield and open pasture offer potential for food plots and clear shooting lanes. Multiple stock tanks supplement natural water sources throughout the upland areas. This habitat diversity within a contiguous boundary allows hunters to pursue different species and employ varied tactics without leaving the property. Hunting Camp and Ranch Infrastructure Existing improvements provide a foundation for hunting camp operations. An original farmhouse with community water service through Walnut Grove offers immediate lodging or a base for camp improvements. A weathered barn provides equipment storage, game processing space, and covered work areas. Working cattle pens support the property's agricultural exemption, which transfers to new ownership and reduces carrying costs. Nearly 2,000 feet of FM 344 frontage ensures easy access for hunters and equipment year-round. Bass Fishing at Lake Palestine and Lake Tyler When hunting seasons close or conditions slow game movement, world-class bass fishing lies minutes from the property. Lake Palestine, approximately 10 miles southwest, encompasses 25,500 acres and 135 miles of shoreline with consistent largemouth bass tournament results, trophy hybrid stripers, and excellent catfish populations. Lake Tyler offers additional options just north of the property. Both lakes feature multiple public boat ramps and full-service marinas. The combination of exceptional hunting land with nearby bass fishing creates a year-round outdoor recreation property. Location and Travel Access Ray-King Farm sits 113 miles southeast of Dallas (approximately 1 hour 45 minutes via I-20), with Tyler just 15 miles north offering full services, sporting goods, and lodging options. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR), located 23 miles from the property, provides American Eagle jet service connecting to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) with onward flights to over 200 worldwide destinations. DFW International is 136 miles northwest, approximately 2 hours by car. Longview lies 40 miles east and Palestine 39 miles south. This accessibility positions the property for weekend hunting trips from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex while maintaining the rural character and wildlife populations that define quality East Texas hunting land. Legacy Hunting Ranch Investment Properties combining this scale of acreage, habitat diversity, and five-generation ownership history rarely come to market in East Texas. Ray-King Farm's 546 acres have never been subdivided, maintaining the contiguous habitat that supports healthy game populations. The active agricultural exemption reduces annual tax burden while the property's proximity to Tyler and the expanding Dallas-Fort Worth corridor provides long-term appreciation potential. For hunters and investors seeking turnkey recreational land with proven wildlife value, Ray-King Farm represents an exceptional acquisition opportunity. Invest in Texas, Buy Land!
