12.357 Acres in Rusk County, TX

This 12.357 acre tract is located along the northern boundary of CR 436, approximately 11 miles south of Henderson in the central portion of Rusk County, Texas. The property offers county road frontage, rolling East Texas terrain, young planted pine, mixed native timber and flexible land use potential for a rural homesite, small recreational property or future pasture conversion. Land Characteristics The tract has rolling topography with elevations ranging from approximately 380 feet ASL to approximately 440 feet ASL. Generally, the highest elevation is located along the CR 436 frontage in the southern portion of the property, with the land gradually sloping downhill toward the northern boundary at the rear of the tract. This elevation change gives the property good character for a smaller acreage tract and may provide potential drainage patterns for a possible pond site, subject to further on-site evaluation, soils, permitting and construction feasibility. Approximately 5 to 6 acres of the property were cut and replanted in pine roughly 4 to 6 years ago. This younger planted pine area gives the next owner flexibility. It could be left in timber to continue growing as a privacy buffer and potential future timber component, or it could be converted into pasture, food plots or open ground while the timber is still young enough to manage more easily. The balance of the property includes mixed native timber along the eastern boundary. This timbered area is narrow near the southeast portion of the tract and widens toward the rear, where it covers approximately two-thirds of the property width. Homesite And Recreational Appeal The mixed native timber and rolling terrain create several appealing areas to evaluate for a rural homesite. The more heavily wooded eastern and rear portions of the tract offer privacy, natural cover and a setting that could work well for a house site, weekend cabin or small recreational retreat. The timbered corridor may also provide travel cover for native wildlife commonly found in this portion of East Texas, including whitetail deer, feral hogs, squirrels, rabbits and a variety of songbirds and other native species. The young pine area offers additional options for land use. A buyer could keep the pine growing for long-term privacy and potential timber value, selectively open areas for trails and shooting lanes, or convert portions to open pasture or wildlife openings. The size of the tract makes it manageable while still offering enough land for outdoor recreation, a rural residence or a small land investment. Utilities And Access The property has frontage along CR 436, with entrance coordinates near 32.0124, -94.781. Electricity runs across the front of the property, which is a helpful feature for future improvements. It is not known whether community water currently services this portion of CR 436, so buyers should verify water availability with the appropriate provider. Septic requirements, driveway requirements and utility connections should also be verified by the buyer or buyers agent.
