Description

Its rare to find a piece of land in East Texas that truly stops you in your tracks. This 25 acre tract on Bull Pine Ridge is one of those few. From the moment you step on the property, its clear you're standing on something different, something wild and special. This land is a study in contrast and diversity. Roughly half the property is blanketed in a towering forest of ancient hardwoods and pines, some over 100 years old. One pine in particular measures nearly 4 feet in diameter, one of the largest we have ever seen on a private piece of land. Running through the middle of the tract are two natural spring heads, shaded by massive timber and nestled in a natural ravine that seems hand carved for a spring fed lake buildout. The topography, flow, and clarity make this one of those once in a lifetime water features; a blank canvas to create what many consider to be the pinnacle feature for private land in Texas, a cool water, crystal-clear spring fed lake. The high point to the property and obvious building site is in the front ~5 Acres, which would overlook this site. Also, there is a nice 3-4ft waterfall that rushes and creates a serene sound and setting during the wet seasons. In the back, you'll find Brushy Creek, a seasonal creek with a massive watershed, flowing strong nearly 10 months of the year. Along its banks are bluffs, cypress knees, ferns, moss covered timber, and an "old growth" type of feel that is virtually non existent in East Texas this day and age. The ridge that carries through the property leads right up to the creek bank (on a rock slate wall), and shield the property against any floodplain. This slope is still gentle enough to allow for park-like underbrushing that would showcase the creek like a nature preserve. The wildlife here is truly as exceptional. One zoom out from the map below shows the thousands and thousands of acres of timberland across the creek and throughout the surrounding area. This low residential pressure and sparsely populated countryside attributes directly to the uncommonly high game population on this property. The game sign is everywhere; from worn down trails to creekside bedding areas. Whether youre a hunter or just want to watch the deer slip through the timber, this place has the ecological diversity and pressure-free feel that whitetail deer and game of all kind naturally gravitate to. And when it comes to location, it doesnt get much better. The property is situated in the quiet, untouched countryside just 10 minutes outside Center, TX, surrounded by large ranches and gently rolling terrain. Its also just 45 minutes from historic Nacogdoches, the oldest town in Texas and what many consider to be the heartbeat of East Texas, with its college town energy, vibrant culture, and charming brick-lined downtown. For recreation, youre right in the middle of it all. Toledo Bend Reservoir, a 100,000+ acre world class fishing and boating destination, is less than 15 minutes away. Just beyond that is the 100,000+ acre Sabine National Forest, with North Toledo Bend Wildlife Management Area only 10 minutes down the road. And for those looking to explore off the water, the Sabine River and its renowned duck hunting and catfishing in just 8 minutes up the road. This region is a recreational hotbed; you could spend a lifetime here and still not run out of things to do. With power at the road, no floodplain, no restrictions, and access via a newly built fully rocked private road (Bull Pine Ridge PR) shared with only 3 other landowners, this tract offers full usability while maintaining ideal accessibility and privacy. And perhaps most noteworthy, its priced extremely fair. You'll be hard pressed to find land in East Texas with this level of timber, water, topography, and seclusion at this price point. This is the kind of land people spend decades looking for. A place with untouched natural beauty and the makings to become something truly special.
