Property Description
Hunting Property, Recreational Land, Timberland, Recreational Ranch, Hunting CampProperty Overview
TSG Ranch spans 327.55± acres in Rusk County, Texas, fronting County Road 461 near Laneville. GPS coordinates for the tract are 32.0046536° N, 94.8630607° W. Nearly 1.8 miles of Angelina River frontage runs the length of the eastern boundary, and a 10± acre duck slough sits inside the perimeter alongside almost four miles of interior trail. Plantation pine, native hardwood bottomland, open food plots, a hunting barndo, a metal shop, and a barn round out a property built for hunters, anglers, and long-term land stewards looking for East Texas hunting land with river frontage.
Land, Timber & Terrain
The timber stand here is a working mix, not a single-species block. Plantation pine went in across two phases, one in the mid-1990s and a second in the early 2000s, leaving the canopy with staggered height and varied age structure rather than a flat, even-aged stand. Native hardwood species, including Southern red oak, water oak, willow oak, white oak, green ash, hickory, sweetgum, and dogwood, hold the bottomland closest to the river and the slough. Food plots and open clearings break the timber at intervals, giving hunters sightlines and shot lanes without stripping the cover that holds deer.
Water Features & Angelina River Frontage
Water is the backbone of this Rusk County land for sale. Close to 1.8 miles of Angelina River frontage forms the eastern boundary, a substantial run of river footage for this acreage. Inside the tract, a 10± acre duck slough built in the early 2000s holds gar, bowfin, buffalo, and catfish, with active beaver sign along the banks. American alligator presence is confirmed on the property through photos and video, a sign of how much year-round water this ground carries. Between the river corridor and the slough, wildlife on TSG Ranch has water within reach from nearly any point on the property.
Wildlife & Hunting
Cover runs thick across TSG Ranch, and sign shows up throughout the acreage. Whitetail deer, waterfowl, and hogs all work this ground, pulled in by the combination of river bottom, slough, standing timber, and open feed. Deer blinds are already hung and ready for the season, and the duck marsh around the slough is set up and waiting on flight weather. Mixed cover, plantation pine, hardwood bottom, and cleared ground, tends to hold more game and more species than a single uniform stand, and that variety plays out in the tracks and rubs scattered through the interior.
Hunting Barndo & Improvements
A 1,000-square-foot hunting barndo anchors the camp, built in 2009 with two-story metal construction. A wood-burning stove on the main level handles the heat, backed by central electric air conditioning for the warmer months. Upstairs holds a loft and a full bath. A security system and covered patio round out the cabin. A metal shop and barn add storage and workspace, and a private well with on-site electricity serves every structure on the property.
Trails & Access
Almost four miles of interior trail tie together the timber stands, food plots, duck slough, and river frontage across the tract, built for ATV and UTV travel over the terrain. County Road 461, a county-maintained dirt road, carries the property’s frontage in south-central Rusk County near Laneville. Partial barbwire fencing on the property.
Location & Access
Henderson, the Rusk County seat, sits roughly 12 miles north of Laneville and covers fuel, groceries, and basic medical needs. Longview serves as a second regional hub to the northeast. Tyler is the nearest larger city, reached by Highway 64 east, then Highway 42 south, continuing through FM 1798, FM 839, and County Road 458 before the final turn onto County Road 461, a route of about 36.5 miles and roughly 45 minutes. Tyler Pounds Regional Airport and East Texas Regional Airport in Longview both offer commercial air service, with Dallas/Fort Worth International standing as the nearest major gateway.
County & Tax Considerations
Rusk County runs on an active timber and agricultural economy, and land around Laneville draws steady interest from both recreational and timber buyers given the county’s mix of pine plantation and river-bottom hardwood. The property currently carries a timber tax exemption. Buyers should confirm exemption transfer requirements directly with the Rusk County Appraisal District.
