East Texas Hunting Tract with Cabin Shop and Two Ponds This 47.79-acre Van Zandt County tract sits north of Ben Wheeler on FM 314 and hands a hunter or outdoorsman a turnkey recreational base most weekend properties never deliver. A one-bedroom cabin built in 2008, an insulated 1,200-square-foot shop with three garage doors, two stock ponds that held water through the recent drought years, and a year-round creek running through clustered hardwood bottoms primed for whitetail hunting. Forty percent of the tract is hardwood timber, the rest is improved pasture in Coastal Bermuda and Bahia that keeps an active agricultural exemption in place. Hunt the back, run a few head out front, or lease the grazing and let the property pay part of its own way. Two-Tract Divide Option Available from Seller The seller will divide the property into two tracts of approximately 24 acres each, giving buyers flexibility to match the property to budget and use. Buyers can purchase the 24 ± acre tract with the improvements as a turnkey weekend retreat or hunting basecamp. Buyers wanting a more affordable entry point into Van Zandt County hunting and recreational land can purchase the 24 ± acre tract with no improvements, giving them raw acreage to build a cabin, set up a hunting camp, or hold as long-term recreational ground. The full 47.79 acres remains available as listed for buyers who want the whole property. Whitetail Habitat in the Hardwood Bottoms and Creek Corridor The clustered hardwood timber across roughly 40 percent of the tract and the creek bottom that crosses the property make up the kind of mixed habitat whitetail deer thrive in across East Texas. Hardwoods produce mast, acorns, hickory nuts, and persimmons, which drive deer movement through the fall rut and into late winter, while the creek serves as a natural travel corridor and water source through the cover. Pasture edges meeting hardwood timber set up the transition zones deer key on for browsing and bedding. This tract is primed for whitetail hunting. A hunter can bring in their own stands, blinds, and food plots, and manage the back acreage for self-guided hunting from the day they take possession. Two Stock Ponds and a Year-Round Creek A small creek crosses the property and feeds two stock ponds that held water through recent drought years. Reliable surface water is the single feature that drives wildlife concentration on a recreational tract, especially through the dry late summer months when neighboring properties run dry. The creek bottom also provides shaded loafing areas during the hottest stretch of summer and creates the natural cover that brings deer through the back acreage. 1,200 SF Cabin Built in 2008 The 1,200-square-foot cabin built in 2008 lives larger than the one-bedroom layout suggests. Vaulted ceilings open up the main living area, a freestanding wood stove anchors the room for cool East Texas evenings during deer season, and central electric heat and air handle the warmer months. Concrete-based siding holds up against weather and requires minimal maintenance. Use it as a hunting camp during the season, a year-round weekend cabin, guest quarters while building a larger home, or a primary residence for a buyer looking to keep overhead low. The cabin is move-in ready with infrastructure most rural cabins of this size lack. 1,200 SF Insulated Workshop with Three Garage Doors A 1,200-square-foot insulated-metal workshop sits adjacent to the cabin, with electric service, water, three garage doors, and rough plumbing for a future bath. For hunters and outdoorsmen, this is storage for ATVs, side-by-sides, boats, and hunting gear, plus space for game processing, gun cleaning, and equipment maintenance. The rough-in for a bath opens the door to converting part of the shop into bunk space for hunting parties or a guest area for friends and family during deer season. A separate smaller storage building handles overflow. 47.79 Acres of Mixed Habitat and Improved Pasture Roughly 60 percent of the tract is improved pasture in Coastal Bermuda and Bahia grasses, with the remaining 40 percent in clustered hardwood timber. Sandy loam soils and gentle rolling terrain produce the kind of mixed habitat that supports diverse wildlife, open pasture for forage and visibility, hardwoods for cover and mast production, edges for browse, and ponds for water. The eastern Post Oak Savannah eco-region delivers a longer growing season than ranches further west, keeping forage and natural food sources active longer into the fall. Cross-Fenced Pastures and Working Cattle Pens A barbed-wire perimeter and cross-fencing support rotational grazing across multiple pastures, and an existing corral with loading pens makes cattle work more efficiently. For a recreational buyer, the cattle infrastructure is a tool. Lease the grazing rights to a neighboring rancher, run a small herd yourself, or partner locally to keep the agricultural exemption active without taking on a full-time cattle operation. The property runs primarily as a hunting and recreational tract with the ag-side infrastructure available as an income or tax-management option. The property currently runs cattle and carries an active agricultural exemption through Van Zandt County, keeping property tax obligations at a fraction of full market valuation. FM 314 Frontage and Property Utilities A gravel drive leads from FM 314 to the cabin, shop, and storage buildings. Conventional septic and community water service handle the residential utilities, and electric service runs to both the cabin and the shop. Frontage on county-maintained FM 314 means clean year-round access regardless of weather, and US Highway 64 sits 1.2 miles south of the gate for fast connections to Tyler, Canton, and Interstate 20. Van Zandt County Location and Nearby Recreation Van Zandt County sits in the heart of East Texas hunting country, surrounded by some of the region's strongest outdoor traditions and rural communities. Canton, the county seat, hosts First Monday Trade Days, the largest free flea market in the United States with up to 100,000 visitors flooding the grounds Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of each month. Ben Wheeler, just south of the property, was named one of the coolest small towns in Texas by Texas Highways Magazine and hosts the annual Feral Hog Festival each October. The neighboring community of Edom is known for its art galleries, daylily farms, and the popular Shed Cafe. Tyler — the Rose Capital of America — sits 35 minutes southeast and offers the Caldwell Zoo, Tyler State Park, and the spring Azalea Trail. The DFW metroplex stays close enough for weekend hunting trips without putting the property in commuting range, giving owners the rural quiet of southern Van Zandt County with the option to reach city resources within a couple of hours. Drive Times to Nearby Cities McKee Farm sits in a strong location for hunters and outdoorsmen, close enough to DFW and Tyler for easy weekend trips, far enough to feel like a real escape into East Texas. Owners are minutes from sporting goods stores, gun shops, feed stores, and ranch supply outlets in Canton and Tyler. Van, Texas — approximately 8 minutes north Canton (First Monday Trade Days) — approximately 20 minutes northwest Tyler, Texas — approximately 35 minutes southeast (25 miles) Dallas, Texas — approximately 1 hour 15 minutes via Interstate 20 Shreveport, Louisiana — approximately 2 hours east Regional and International Airport Access The property sits within reach of multiple airports for out-of-state hunting parties, family arriving for the season, and owners flying private aircraft into the area. Tyler Pounds Regional offers daily commercial connections through DFW, and Dallas/Fort Worth International is close enough for international travel without sacrificing the rural setting of the property. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) — 25 miles southeast, approximately 35 minutes East Texas Regional Airport, Longview (GGG) — approximately 60 miles east Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) — 95 miles northwest, approximately 1 hour 30 minutes Dallas Love Field (DAL) — approximately 90 miles northwest Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) — approximately 110 miles east Who This East Texas Tract Fits This property speaks to the hunter looking for a private East Texas tract with established whitetail habitat, surface water, and a cabin already in place; the outdoorsman who wants hardwood bottoms, pasture edges, and reliable water within reach of DFW and Tyler; the family building a multi-generational hunting and weekend retreat; the buyer who values the seller's two-tract divide option for matching purchase price to actual needs; and the recreational owner who wants the agricultural exemption working in their favor while the land delivers what they bought it for — hunting and time outdoors.

East Texas Ranch Land with Three Ponds, Mature Oak Timber, and Working Barn Near Ben Wheeler, Van Zandt County The Robinson Ranch offers 76.559 acres of well-configured East Texas land in southeastern Van Zandt County, combining open grazing pastures, approximately 25 acres of mature oak timber, three ponds, and a complete four-stall working barn with a setup suited for cattle, horses, hunting, and fishing. The property is located minutes from Ben Wheeler on Van Zandt County Road 4313, approximately 25 miles west of Tyler via State Highway 64 and 84 miles east of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex via Interstate 20. Land & Terrain The entry road establishes the property's character from the start, a tree-lined corridor flanked by open green pastures dotted with ancient oak and black walnut trees that have grown to substantial size over generations. These are not ornamental plantings; they are mature hardwoods providing shade, mast production, and cover in positions that took decades to develop. The front pastures extend on both sides of the entry and transition to open grazing ground with reliable grass coverage suited for cattle and horses throughout the growing season. The back portion of the ranch, approximately 25 acres, carries the heavier timber component, with mature oak canopy, dense undergrowth, and a small pond positioned within the wooded section. This timber block creates the bedding cover and browse habitat that Whitetail Deer use consistently, and the transition line between the open front pastures and the wooded back acreage produces the edge habitat that is the foundation of productive deer hunting on properties this size. Water Three ponds are distributed across the ranch, including a primary pond of just over one-half acre stocked with Largemouth Bass. The remaining two ponds serve as reliable wildlife watering stations and livestock water sources. Standing water of this volume and distribution on a 76-acre Van Zandt County tract is a material asset that supports agricultural use, on-property fishing, and year-round wildlife holding. Wildlife & Hunting Whitetail Deer and feral hogs are both present on the property. The combination of wooded back acreage, open pasture transition, and multiple pond water sources creates the habitat diversity that supports both species year-round. A buyer can hunt Whitetail Deer during the season and pursue feral hogs year-round without lease fees, outside hunters, or off-property logistics. The ponds, including the stocked bass pond, provide on-property fishing with no additional water development required. Van Zandt County falls within the post oak belt of East Texas, where native browse, mast production from mature oaks, and reliable rainfall combine to produce healthy deer populations and strong natural habitat conditions. Improvements & Infrastructure A four-stall barn with corral, working pens, a feed storage area, and a tack room is in place and ready for cattle and horse use. A brick ranch house is included in the sale strictly as-is, with no monetary value attributed to it in the listing. The interior has been stripped to the slab, studs, and ceiling joists, and the roof requires replacement. Buyers should treat the structure as a shell requiring full interior renovation. The brick exterior and foundation are in place; what a buyer finishes and how they finish it is entirely within their control. Location & Proximity The property sits on VZ County Road 4313 near Ben Wheeler, a historically significant small town on the State Highway 64 corridor that has developed a well-regarded downtown with restaurants, live music, and local commerce. Canton, the Van Zandt County seat and home of First Monday Trade Days, widely recognized as the largest monthly outdoor trade event in the United States, is approximately 12 miles northwest, about an 18-minute drive. Tyler, with full regional medical, retail, and commercial services, is approximately 25 miles east, about 30 minutes. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR/KTYR) provides commercial connecting service to Dallas-Fort Worth International via American Eagle and serves general aviation with FBO facilities and hangar availability. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is approximately 84 miles west, accessible in roughly 90 minutes via Interstate 20 from the Canton interchange. Lake Fork Reservoir, one of the country's most productive trophy largemouth bass fisheries at approximately 27,264 acres in Wood, Rains, and Hopkins counties, is about 45 miles northeast. Van Zandt County agricultural land qualifies for agricultural use valuation under the Texas Property Tax Code, which can substantially reduce annual property tax obligations for qualifying buyers. Buyers should verify current eligibility requirements with the Van Zandt County Appraisal District prior to purchase.

Your East Texas Base Camp Set your boots down on 53.6 acres of Smith County ranchland where East Texas does what it does best: delivers elbow room, good water, and country that still feels like country. The Douglas Ranch sits in the sweet spot: rural enough to breathe, close enough to Tyler and Dallas that you’re not driving half a day to resupply. First time on the market. The kind of place families hold onto for generations. Land and Water Built for the Outdoors Two stocked ponds hold bass and catfish. Grab a rod after work and put dinner on the table without leaving your own property. A seasonal creek cuts through the land, adding natural drainage and water access. The 53 acres of improved pastures run cattle under an active grazing lease, but there’s room to saddle up and ride your own ground whenever the mood strikes. The well goes down 450 feet into the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer, the same formation that’s been watering East Texas for generations. Reliable supply, quality water. Municipal backup ties into Lindale Rural Water if needed. Between the ponds, the creek, and the well, water isn’t something you’ll worry about here. Over 1,400 feet of road frontage on two county roads means easy in-and-out with trailers, whether you’re hauling stock, ATVs, or a boat headed for Lake Palestine. The House: Comfortable, Not Complicated The 2,042-square-foot brick home keeps things practical. Three bedrooms, two full baths, country kitchen, and a family room with a fireplace insert that actually heats the space. Formal dining for when family gathers. A private office handles ranch business or remote work. Out back, the covered porch leads to a stone patio and in-ground saltwater pool with a heated spa. After a long day, whether you spent it in a deer stand, on the water, or working cattle, that spa earns its keep. Mature live oaks shade the front yard. A big pine stands tall out front. Board rail fencing keeps the livestock where they belong and the yard looking sharp. Shop Space That Actually Works The 36’ x 60’ metal shop building gives you room to spread out. Dedicated 24’ x 54’ shop space for the workbench, tools, and projects that pile up on any working property. The rest handles tractors, implements, four-wheelers, the boat, and an RV if you’ve got one. Roll-up doors—no wrestling equipment through standard openings. This is a shop built for people who use their land, not just look at it. Location: East Texas Hunting and Fishing Country Smith County puts you in the middle of serious outdoor territory. Lake Tyler and Lake Palestine are short drives for bass tournaments or weekend fishing. Lake For, home to 34 of the top 50 largemouth bass ever caught in Texas, sits 45 minutes north. The Piney Woods surround you with thousands of acres of huntable timber, and hunting leases throughout the region offer everything from whitetail and hog to duck and dove. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport (TYR) connects through Dallas for quick travel. Dallas/Fort Worth International is under two hours west on I-20. You’re not isolated—you’re positioned. Quick Distances: - Tyler – 15 miles - Lake Palestine – 20 miles - Lake Tyler – 18 miles - Lake Fork – 45 miles - Dallas – 90 miles - Shreveport – 95 miles The Bottom Line The Douglas Ranch isn’t raw land and it isn’t some subdivision ranchette. It’s 53 acres of productive ground with good water, a solid house, and a shop that’ll handle whatever gear you throw at it. Agricultural exemption keeps the taxes reasonable. The bones are here: ponds, pastures, fencing, infrastructure. First-time offering from a family that held it for years. Properties like this don’t sit.

SOLD! Under $10K/Acre – 19.984 Acres Hunting Land | East Texas Pineywoods Nearly 20 acres of mixed hardwood and pine timber in Wood County—prime Pineywoods hunting territory at under $10,000 per acre. This unrestricted tract delivers year-round hunting opportunity for Whitetail deer, feral hogs, squirrel, and other small game, backed by an existing agricultural tax exemption that keeps annual carrying costs low. Hunting Features The property sits within the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Pineywoods Wildlife Management Region, where Whitetail deer populations remain strong and feral hogs offer 365-day opportunity with no season or bag limit. The seller confirms active deer and hog sign on the property, along with squirrel and small game. Timber composition favors hunters. Mixed hardwood stands produce acorns and hickory nuts that concentrate deer activity during bow and rifle seasons. Pine cover provides thermal refuge and bedding areas. The regenerating timber—harvested in 2015 and now ten years into regrowth—creates the edge habitat and browse that hold deer on the property rather than pushing them to neighboring land. A small pond and seasonal creek add habitat diversity that most small tracts lack. Deer and hogs water here daily, creating predictable movement patterns for stand placement. No Restrictions – Hunt Your Way Zero deed restrictions means you control how you hunt. Build a permanent blind or rotating stand system. Install feeders and maintain them year-round. Plant food plots in openings. Construct a hunting cabin or RV pad for weekend trips. Run trail cameras without HOA complaints. This land operates under county jurisdiction only—no association approval required for anything you build. Ag Exempt – Low Carrying Costs The property carries an existing timber exemption. Property taxes are based on productivity value rather than market value, keeping your annual holding costs well below what you'd pay on non-exempt land. For hunters who want to own rather than lease, this exemption makes the difference between affordable ownership and a financial stretch. Access and Location Over 2,100 feet of FM 14 frontage provides direct paved highway access—no easements, no shared roads, no gates to coordinate. Drive times put you in the field quickly: Dallas approximately 1 hour 40 minutes via I-20, Tyler 30 minutes. Close enough for afternoon hunts after work during the rut. Lake Fork Reservoir lies nearby for those who want to chase trophy bass between deer seasons. The lake has produced more ShareLunker entries than any other Texas water body. Utilities for Camp Development Water service (Fouke Water Systems) and electricity (Wood County Electric) are available at the road frontage. This infrastructure supports a hunting cabin, manufactured home, or full residence if you decide to build. Most hunting tracts this size require expensive utility extensions—this one doesn't.
