47.79-Acre Hunting Land with Cabin for Sale…
Ben Wheeler, TX
Van Zandt
Van Zandt
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.

Canton (First Monday Trade Days) — approximately 20 minutes northwest
Tyler, Texas — approximately 35 minutes southeast (25 miles)

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

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.

Upshur
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.

Smith
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.

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.

Red River
Red River
Located at 1200 County Road 1255 in Detroit, this recreational property offers gently rolling to level terrain, strong wildlife habitat, and excellent usability for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts in Lamar and Red River County.
The land is predominantly flat and easy to navigate, making it well suited for hunting, ATV riding, and land management. The soil makeup supports native grasses and seasonal vegetation, which naturally attract and hold wildlife. These conditions are favorable for establishing food plots, maintaining shooting lanes, and creating an effective trail system throughout the property.
Natural low areas on the property tend to hold water at certain times of the year, providing a reliable draw for wildlife. This combination of vegetation and seasonal moisture makes the land attractive for whitetail deer, feral hogs, small game, and various bird species, offering consistent hunting and recreational opportunities.
With minimal slope, the property is easy to maintain and allows flexibility for a variety of uses, including a hunting basecamp, weekend retreat, or future cabin or homesite. The layout supports both recreational enjoyment and long-term land improvement without challenging terrain.
County road frontage provides dependable access, while the rural setting delivers privacy and a true country atmosphere. Located within reasonable driving distance to Paris, Texas, this property balances seclusion with convenience.
Recreational tracts with this level of accessibility, wildlife activity, and usable land are becoming harder to find in Lamar County, making this property a strong option for buyers seeking hunting land or rural acreage in Northeast Texas.
Why This Property Stands
Out Turn-key hunting tracts with existing infrastructure are increasingly hard to find in the area. Many properties require years of development before reaching this level of readiness.

Smith
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.

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!

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.

WHY THIS TRACT:
East Texas hunting land under $10,000 per acre with water, timber, utilities, and an existing ag exemption rarely stays on the market long.
