This recreational property features a newly constructed 16-acre lake professionally stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and fathead minnows, fed by two spring-fed creeks that provide reliable water year-round.

Serious Hunting & Fishing Terrain   Newly Constructed 16-Acre Fishing Lake The centerpiece of Twin Creeks Ranch is its newly constructed 16-acre lake, engineered and recently stocked with largemouth bass, bluegill, and fathead minnows. Two spring-fed creeks converge to feed this lake, ensuring consistent water levels and quality throughout the year. The natural creek confluence creates varied depths, structure, and cover that game fish need to establish and thrive, while also serving as a magnet for waterfowl during migration seasons. Productive Wildlife Habitat The property's gently rolling terrain features hardwood creek bottoms that wind through the landscape, supporting mature trees and serving as wildlife corridors. Scattered native grass pastures are naturally framed by stands of mature mixed timber, creating the classic edge habitat that whitetail deer and other game species prefer. This varied landscape supports East Texas wildlife, including whitetail deer, wild hogs, waterfowl, and migratory game birds. The timber component qualifies for Texas timber tax exemptions while providing mast production for wildlife, potential income through selective harvesting, and natural cover throughout the property. The combination of water features, varied elevations, and diverse vegetation creates multiple hunting setups throughout the seasons.
