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.

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!
