Lake Jacksonville
Spanning approximately 1,300 acres in the rolling Piney Woods of East Texas, Lake Jacksonville has quietly become one of the region’s true hidden gems for waterfront recreation and lake living. Known for its unusually clear water, scenic tree-lined shoreline, and lower-density atmosphere, the lake offers a distinctly different experience from many larger and more heavily developed Texas recreational lakes. The average lake depth is 20 +/- feet, with a maximum depth of 62 +/- feet at full pool level.
Unlike many North Texas reservoirs, Lake Jacksonville maintains excellent year-round recreational usability due to the numerous creeks and tributaries feeding the lake system. Deep water areas, protected coves, and consistent water levels create outstanding conditions for boating, fishing, swimming, paddleboarding, and watersports throughout much of the year.
The lake is particularly appreciated for its clean water, sandy-bottom coves, and quieter environment, offering owners a more private and relaxed setting while still providing easy access to nearby amenities in Jacksonville and Tyler. Mature hardwoods and pine timber surrounding the shoreline further contribute to the natural beauty and East Texas character that define the area. Much of the land surrounding the surface of the lake sits 20 to 50 feet above the water aiding in calm water even in the presence of big winds.
Lake Jacksonville also has a strong reputation for recreational fishing, particularly largemouth bass, while remaining accessible enough for full-time living and year-round family enjoyment. The balance of natural beauty, recreational utility, and relative privacy is what many believe makes Lake Jacksonville one of the most underrated recreational lakes in Texas.

The gently rolling terrain creates attractive views throughout the property while also supporting practical agricultural use. Scattered hardwood timber across the pastures provides shade, visual diversity, and wildlife habitat without significantly limiting grazing utility. Common native tree species in the area include various oak species, hickory, elm, sweetgum, and other hardwoods typically associated with the East Texas landscape.
A small creek and drainage corridor traverse the southeastern portion of the property while a larger creek touches the northern boundary. These natural water features, combined with three stock ponds, provide reliable water sources for livestock and wildlife. The combination of water, pasture, and scattered timber creates habitat that commonly supports native East Texas wildlife including whitetail deer, feral hogs, dove, waterfowl, and various small game species. The ranch offers opportunities for both agricultural production and recreational enjoyment without sacrificing either use.
The property is fenced and cross fenced to support rotational grazing practices. Existing fencing infrastructure allows for separation of livestock while maintaining operational efficiency. Behind the home, multiple paddocks with loafing sheds offer additional flexibility for livestock management and horse use.
Home And Improvements
Constructed in 2014, the approximately 2,275 square foot custom home was thoughtfully designed to complement the surrounding ranch landscape while offering practical functionality and comfortable living space. Exterior finishes include a blend of brick and stone veneer accented by cedar beams and rustic details that reflect the character of the property.
Inside the home, stained concrete floors, solid wood doors, custom stained Alder cabinetry, and upgraded appliances create a cohesive ranch-style aesthetic. The large open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area provides a central gathering space with views overlooking the ranch. The flowing layout allows the kitchen and living spaces to function efficiently for everyday living and entertaining alike.
The home includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an office that can accommodate work-from-home needs or additional flexible use space. Covered outdoor living areas include an expansive rear patio and attached carport, providing additional space to enjoy the surrounding scenery and rural setting.
Additional ranch improvements were designed with livestock operations in mind. An alleyway system leads to a lighted roping area, cattle working pens, and a barn that support day-to-day ranch operations and recreational livestock activities. Community water services the home while a separate approximately 220-foot water well supplies water for livestock and irrigation purposes around the barn area.
Location And Area Information

Jacksonville provides shopping, dining, healthcare, agricultural services, and everyday conveniences while still maintaining the character of a traditional East Texas community.

The property has been managed with protein feeders, corn feeders, food plots, trail cameras, selective harvest and limited disturbance in larger timbered areas.

The finished garage is reported to be approximately 28 feet by 30 feet, with epoxy flooring and a restroom. Adjacent to the shop is an equipment and RV shed reported to be approximately 24 feet by 72 feet. The circle drive allows access to both the home area and the buildings below, while the elevation of the home provides views toward the pasture areas where deer are frequently observed.
Trails And Management: The property includes trails through portions of the timber and around the perimeter. The perimeter trail has been maintained to allow access for fence monitoring and general property management, with gravel crossings in some areas. The seller has intentionally left larger sections of timber less disturbed to provide cover and holding areas for wildlife. Current hunting improvements are reported to include box blinds, tower stands, feeders and related ranch equipment, with personal property inclusions subject to final agreement between buyer and seller.
Area Context: Rusk is the Cherokee County seat and provides local services, restaurants, supplies and regional access. Jacksonville, Alto, Palestine, Nacogdoches and Tyler are all within a practical drive for additional shopping, medical, dining, lodging and outdoor recreation options. The general area is part of the East Texas Pineywoods, known for rolling terrain, mixed pine and hardwood forests, creeks, small lakes and rural land ownership.

The terrain is one of the defining features. Elevation ranges from about 340 feet to 500 feet above sea level, creating a mix of lower drainage areas, rolling pasture slopes, and elevated ridges. Terraced pastures reflect the propertys agricultural history and provide usable open ground for grazing, hay, wildlife plantings, or other rural uses, subject to buyer plans and any needed approvals. About 70 percent of the tract is in pasture, with a mix of improved and native grasses and weeds. Mature mixed timber is scattered through the property, especially along edges and drainages, giving the land a balanced combination of open space and cover.
Native vegetation in the broader Piney Woods region commonly includes loblolly pine, post oak, blackjack oak, sweetgum, elm, ash, yaupon, beautyberry, greenbrier, blackberry, bluestem, and other grasses and forbs. On this tract, the combination of pasture, timber, elevation change, and water creates multiple habitat types. Pasture edges, wooded draws, creek bottoms, and shaded timber pockets each add a different layer of use and character to the land.
Water and Drainages
Water is present in several forms. The 5-acre lake provides a central surface water feature and a natural gathering point for wildlife and recreation. Gum Creek runs through the tract, with smaller springs and feeder creeks adding to the drainage network. These water features help shape the landscape, creating travel corridors, shaded riparian areas, and natural breaks between pasture and timber. They also add practical value for livestock, wildlife, and general land enjoyment, while giving the tract a more varied layout than pasture alone.
Access, Utilities, and Improvements
The property fronts FM 747 and has two gated access points, allowing practical entry from the paved road. Internal routes support side-by-side travel through most of the tract, which helps with checking pasture areas, viewing the lake and creek corridors, and accessing timbered sections. Electric is already on site. Craft-Turney WSC is reported as the water provider for the area, and availability should be verified by the buyer or buyers agent.
Improvements are limited, which leaves the land flexible for future use. An old barn is present and is not assigned value. Cattle pens and equipment associated with the agricultural tenant are not included and will be removed. Agricultural use is also reflected in the current ag exemption. No established food plots are reported. With road frontage, utilities, elevation change, and open ground, there may be several potential rural building locations, subject to buyer verification of access, utilities, soils, permitting, and intended use.
Hunting, Wildlife, and Recreation
The land has the habitat components typically associated with recreational property in this region: open pasture, timbered edges, creek corridors, surface water, elevation change, and internal access. Native wildlife in the area may include white-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, waterfowl, songbirds, raptors, reptiles, and amphibians. The lake, Gum Creek, springs, and feeder creeks provide water sources, while the pasture and timber transitions create travel routes and natural observation areas.
Recreational uses may include hunting, fishing, trail riding, wildlife viewing, grazing, and general outdoor use. The existing access routes make it easier to move through the property by side-by-side, and the varied terrain gives the tract multiple settings for stands, blinds, trails, or future wildlife plantings, subject to buyer plans and local requirements.
The Area
The property is located near Jacksonville, with convenient access to fuel, groceries, restaurants, farm and ranch suppliers, and other local services. Rusk, Bullard, Palestine, and Tyler are also within regional driving distance, giving the property a rural setting while keeping larger service centers accessible. Nearby recreation includes Lake Jacksonville, which offers public access and fishing opportunities, and Lake Palestine, which provides additional public boat launches, bank-fishing access, and regional water recreation. Historic railroad excursions between Rusk and Palestine along the Piney Woods Route add another local attraction, while Neches River National Wildlife Refuge provides wildlife viewing and permitted public hunting opportunities through current application and permit processes. Buyers should verify current public access, seasons, rules, and permit requirements before relying on any off-property recreational use.

Road frontage areas are fenced, and the layout allows for flexibility in how the property can be utilized or accessed.
Land & Timber

Cherokee County - Off of FM 2064, Troup, TX
Located in the northern portion of Cherokee County, this 245.603-acre recreational tract offers a rare combination of mature bottomland timber, abundant surface water, diverse wildlife habitat, and a secluded setting with strong recreational appeal. The property is situated approximately eight miles south/southwest of Troup and approximately nine miles east/northeast of Jacksonville. Access is provided by a deeded easement originating from FM 2064, with the entrance gate located near coordinates 32.040012, -95.157166. The tract has been held and enjoyed by the current ownership for many years as a private outdoor retreat centered around hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, and general recreational use.
Property Overview
The tract is slightly irregular in shape and is generally square in configuration except for the western boundary, which follows Mud Creek as it gradually turns toward the southwest. Because of this configuration, the southern boundary is slightly longer than the northern boundary. The property lies within the Mud Creek drainage system and consists primarily of mature wooded bottomland habitat with a smaller section of higher elevation terrain located in the southeastern portion of the tract.
The deeded easement enters from the south and east and leads directly into the higher elevation portion of the property. This upland area contains a little over 20 acres with elevations generally ranging from approximately 300 feet to 330 feet above sea level. This portion of the tract could potentially support construction of a small recreational cabin, campsite, equipment barn, or future weekend retreat area, subject to buyer investigation and any applicable permitting or utility considerations.
The majority of the remaining acreage consists of gently rolling to nearly level bottomland terrain with elevations generally ranging from approximately 290 feet to 300 feet above sea level. The transition between upland and bottomland terrain creates visual diversity while also contributing to the property's habitat quality and water retention characteristics.
Timber, Vegetation, And Habitat
One of the most noticeable characteristics of the property is the mature mixed native timber that covers much of the tract. The timber appears to include a mixture of bottomland hardwood species commonly found throughout this portion of East Texas, including various species of oak, hickory, elm, sweetgum, ash, and other native hardwoods and Pine associated with creek bottom environments. Portions of the property feature a relatively open understory that allows for easier travel by foot or UTV and creates attractive wildlife movement corridors throughout the tract.
The large uninterrupted blocks of surrounding timber within the Mud Creek corridor contribute heavily to the area's recreational appeal. Bottomland systems such as this are widely recognized throughout East Texas for supporting strong populations of whitetail deer, feral hogs, waterfowl, small game, and numerous non-game wildlife species. The combination of mature timber, natural water sources, dense cover areas, edge habitat, and isolated slough systems provides diverse habitat conditions across the property.
The location of the tract just north of the confluence of Mud Creek and Caney Creek further enhances the overall habitat diversity of the immediate area. In addition, Birches Creek, Lavender Branch, and numerous natural springs tie into Mud Creek along the western boundary of the tract. The convergence of these waterways creates a broad drainage system with significant wildlife and recreational value.
Surface Water And Recreational Appeal
Surface water is arguably the defining feature of this property. Mud Creek itself is well known locally for fishing, hunting, wildlife habitat, and recreational use. Along the western boundary, the creek system creates a dynamic landscape consisting of sloughs, small oxbows, seasonal backwater areas, and shallow wetlands that provide year-round habitat diversity.
Throughout the tract there are numerous naturally occurring sloughs and shallow water features that appear capable of supporting waterfowl activity during seasonal migration periods and wetter times of the year. A centrally located pond reportedly constructed approximately 40 to 50 years ago in conjunction with a USDA-related program has matured significantly over time and now blends naturally into the surrounding environment. The water feature has developed natural vegetation and habitat characteristics that make it appear similar to a naturally occurring pond system.
The current layout of the property allows access to much of the acreage by UTV. However, there may be additional opportunities for future trail development and habitat enhancement projects. Portions of the property could potentially support development of improved trail systems, small levees, controlled crossings, or wildlife management improvements designed to help manage seasonal surface water and improve accessibility in wetter areas.
The property currently presents an opportunity for a new owner to shape the land according to their own recreational goals and vision. Whether the focus involves hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, habitat improvement, trail development, or establishing a private recreational retreat, the combination of mature timber and abundant water resources provides a strong natural foundation.
Area Information And Nearby Attractions
This portion of East Texas is known for its heavily wooded landscape, productive wildlife habitat, and strong outdoor recreation culture. The property benefits from convenient access to nearby communities including Troup, Jacksonville, Tyler, Henderson, and Rusk while still maintaining a private and secluded setting.
Nearby recreational destinations include Lake Palestine, which offers boating and fishing opportunities, as well as the Davy Crockett National Forest located farther south for additional public hunting, hiking, camping, and outdoor recreation opportunities. The region also provides access to numerous creeks, reservoirs, public boat ramps, and wildlife management areas throughout East Texas.
Jacksonville serves as a regional hub for dining, shopping, lodging, and medical services, while Tyler offers expanded commercial services, healthcare facilities, and entertainment opportunities within a reasonable driving distance. The property remains within reach of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, Houston area, and Shreveport region for buyers seeking a larger recreational holding in East Texas.
