The Getaway is an 863-acre +/- hunting tract spanning Upshur and Wood counties in East Texas, with nearly two miles of Sabine River frontage. Located at 821 Gorman Oaks, Big Sandy, TX, roughly halfway between Dallas and Shreveport, Louisiana. An active agricultural exemption transfers to the new owner without a waiting period.
Sabine River and Water Features
The Sabine River runs approximately two miles along the eastern boundary, and Rogers Creek winds another 2.5 miles through the interior. Seasonal sloughs hold duck weed and smart weed, drawing migrating puddle ducks into timber-ringed holes. Past seasons have produced wood ducks, teal, and mallards.
Timber and Terrain
Roughly 150 acres is planted in mature Loblolly pine across four plantations. The balance runs through hardwood bottoms, hardwood flats, open fields, and creek drainages. Five pipeline rights-of-way cross the tract, producing natural shooting lanes and travel corridors. An interior road and trail system connects the hunting areas, pine stands, and river bottom.
Wildlife and Hunting
The Getaway is a serious whitetail property with documented harvests including 180-class bucks. Whitetail deer, feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and squirrels are all present. Multiple shooting houses are already set on pipeline openings and field edges. Between the river, Rogers Creek, and the slough system, the tract supports big-woods whitetail, timber-hole waterfowl, and year-round hog management.
Camp Headquarters and Improvements
The furnished camp house includes one private bedroom, a large bunkroom, a full bath, a kitchen, and a central gathering area with a covered front porch. All cabin furnishings convey. Water is provided by the City of Big Sandy, electricity by Upshur Rural Electric Cooperative, waste by conventional septic. A 30 by 50-foot insulated equipment building has roll-up doors on each end. A separate shed covers tractors, implements, and trailers, and houses a walk-in cooler for harvested game.
Access and Location
The property lies near U.S. Highway 80 and the Interstate 20 corridor. Dallas is roughly 100 miles west, and Shreveport, Louisiana is approximately 90 miles east, placing The Getaway within reach of two major metros while holding the privacy of East Texas timber country.
