00 County Rd 448 Carthage, TX 75633

This property features 340+ acres of land entirely under high game fence, with miles of trails traversing through a mixture of hardwoods and other native timber, all blending into a diverse topography accented by winding creeks and palmetto flats. With world-class white-tail and axis genetics, the property is well suited for anyone looking for a private hunting retreat, or to establish a small scale commercial hunting operation with the ability to manage wildlife to your preference. The 7 acre lake stocked with trophy bass, copper nose blue gill, channel cat, and other great fish provides a great outdoor recreation alternative to hunting, while also providing the perfect setting for waterfowl and duck hunting. There is a second half-acre pond on the east side of the property, also stocked with fish, and providing another watering source for wildlife, in addition to the numerous other channels of waterway and sloughs running throughout. In addition to be stocked, there are broadcast fish feeders in place that have been continuously maintained on both the lake and pond. The property is currently stocked with various wildlife species, mostly consisting of a strong whitetail deer population. Previously about 30 bred whitetail does were introduced, all being bred to 200"+ breeder bucks, along with the release of a 200"+ breeder buck on the ranch. The wildlife on the ranch also consist of axis doe supported with the presence of several axis bucks, along with a hog population that has been purposefully kept down but still present. Also installed is a 3+ acre high fence acclimation pen, making the import of new game much more efficient and manageable. The property has a diverse ecosystem of scattered lowland hardwood species, portions of upland in native timber stands and pine plantation, along with a variety of open field areas. Much of the planted timber is already suitable for harvesting with 15-16 years of growth, adding an additional potential source of revenue. There are a variety of both bow and rifle blinds, feeders, protein stations, pens, and traps scattered throughout the ranch, with plenty of areas available for food plots, many of which have been cultivated previously. The property has an abundant maintained trail system to navigate the ranch, with a cleared road running along nearly all of the 24,000+ ft of high fence. There are miles and miles of interior trails in place providing endless enjoyment for ATV riding, with much of it still being unmapped and left to be explored. The cabin in place offers an open living area with kitchen, 3 bedrooms (5 total beds), and an additional studio area added on with a full bathroom. A covered porch area wraps 3/4 of the cabin providing shade as well as additional shelter for vehicles. Measurement of cabin is approximate. Just outside the cabin is a storage barn and storage tank, fire pit area, and bow sighting range. In a separate area adjoining the cabin grounds are two large open-ended barns that provide great shelter for hunting supplies and equipment storage. The property has electric services provided by Panola-Harris Electric Coop., and rural water service provided by Deadwood Water Supply. The property conveys along with LS LL6100 front-end loader tractor, Mule side-by-side, small fishing boat with trolling motor and trailer, and all other accessory buildings and furnishings currently in place. The clearing on the northeast end of the property next to the pond would provide a great location for a future site-build. This could be a great spot to maintain a separate lodging for hunters that is separated from the hunting guides and land managers who could occupy the current cabin area. This ranch offers great East Texas scenery and enjoyment for the whole family. With opportunities for world-class hunting both personally and commercially, trophy fishing, trail riding, camping, timber harvesting, game management, and more - this land offering presents a unique opportunity at a great value for anyone who loves the outdoors!
