Geter Ridge Tract

Located on the west side of CR 2136 just north of the SH 43 corridor between Henderson and Tatum, this vacant timber tract offers a strong mix of managed pine, native hardwood cover, upland terrain, and recreational appeal. The property has long oil-top county road frontage, an existing gated entrance, and a mostly rectangular layout that should make future planning more efficient. Current and future uses include timber investment, hunting, recreation, and potential homesite development, with buyer verification needed for utilities, soils, septic suitability, floodplain status, access to services, and any applicable permitting. Access and Frontage Access is from CR 2136, an oil-top county road. A recent survey estimates approximately 1,646 feet of frontage, and there is an existing gated entrance along the road. Interior access is minimal, which gives a buyer flexibility to create roads, trails, food plot openings, or homesite access based on their intended use. The long road frontage may also create more than one planning option, subject to county requirements, driveway approval, title review, and survey verification. Terrain, Ridge, and Soils The tract is almost entirely upland, with only a small area reported near the southwest corner and southern boundary shown within a flood zone. Elevation reportedly ranges from approximately 366 feet to 440 feet above sea level. A ridge runs through the north and northeast portion of the tract and trends toward the southwest boundary, with drainage moving west and south from that ridge. This terrain creates a useful mix of higher ground, natural drainage, and possible view opportunities toward the privately owned neighboring lake from the southwest portion. The soil map identifies Betis loamy fine sand, Tenaha loamy fine sand, Lilbert loamy fine sand, and a small amount of Cuthbert gravelly fine sandy loam. These soils and the mostly upland settings support the propertys timber character and potential rural development uses, but all homesite, septic, road, and construction plans should be independently evaluated. Timber and Vegetation The timber is the primary feature. Approximately 40 to 50 acres appear to be pine plantation that has been well maintained and thinned twice. The balance is primarily mixed native timber that appears to have been lightly thinned within the last 5 to 8 years. The hardwood component is mainly on the western portion of the tract, with a smaller hardwood area along the southern portion. The understory is relatively clean but still natural in appearance, providing a useful combination of visibility, cover, and future management potential. There are no established food plots, blinds, feeders, or structural improvements currently in place. The property is more of a timber blank canvas, with potential areas that could be opened for homesites, food plots, trails, or small recreational clearings. Timber volume, merchantability, harvest timing, management recommendations, and any timber plan details should be verified by buyer. Water and Lake Context The survey indicates the southwest corner reaches a privately owned neighboring lake. Potential lake views may be possible from the southwest portion with proper planning and clearing, but use and access should be verified by buyer. The topo map also indicates a spring or wet-weather drainage feature running through the central portion of the tract toward the south. Utilities and Development Considerations Electricity is reported across CR 2136, and the tract is reported to be within the New Prospect Water Supply Corporation service area. No determinations have been made regarding electric provider, capacity, water meter availability, tap fees, line location, or connection costs. There is no known on-site water meter, well, septic system, public sewer, propane service, or confirmed natural gas utility service. Mapping information provided by the seller indicates fiber service from Eastex Telephone Cooperative Inc., with provider availability and service details to be verified. The upland setting, road frontage, and nearby utility indicators support potential rural homesite use, but the property should be evaluated by the buyer for driveway placement, water service, electric extension, septic suitability, drainage, floodplain limits, and construction requirements. Surface Features and Improvements This is vacant timberland with no homes, cabins, barns, shops, sheds, docks, hunting blinds, feeders, food plots, or livestock infrastructure. A small existing oil/gas pad site with limited surface equipment is located on the tract, with details and any associated easements to be verified by buyer. A small natural gas pipeline associated with that site reportedly runs generally southeast toward and off the southeast portion of the property. The offering is surface only. Recreation and Wildlife The timber, hardwood edge, upland ridge, drainage feature, and nearby water influence create a practical recreational setting. Wildlife noted for the property includes deer, hogs, ducks, and other small native wildlife. There is no trail camera history, harvest history, or established hunting infrastructure being represented. The tract could be set up over time with trails, stand locations, food plots, and access routes as allowed by the property layout and buyer plans. Location and Area Context The property sits in a rural setting between Henderson and Tatum, with access to the SH 43 corridor and a reasonable drive to Longview and Tyler. Henderson offers local services, dining, events, and visitor attractions, while Martin Creek Lake State Park, Lake Forest Park, and the Depot Museum & History Center add nearby public recreation and area interest. The location gives a buyer a combination of timberland privacy, county road frontage, and access to multiple regional towns without relying on any unverified rights to the neighboring private lake.
