Cherokee County - 4123 FM 752 S, Rusk, TX
118.097 acres located near Rusk in Cherokee County, Texas, offering a high-fenced recreational property with FM 752 frontage, rolling topography, a managed wildlife component, a centrally located pond, open pasture, mature pine and hardwood timber, a remodeled log home and a practical set of ranch improvements. The property has an established drive-up approach from the FM road, with an asphalt driveway crossing near the end of the pond before winding through tall pine timber and rising toward the home and supporting improvements near the rear of the tract. Elevations are reported to range from approximately 430 feet to 520 feet above sea level, creating rolling terrain, pasture views and a varied setting for recreation, hunting, fishing, livestock and rural residential use.
Location And Access: The property is located at 4123 FM 752 S, Rusk, TX 75785, in Cherokee County. The location is approximately 2 to 4 miles south of Rusk, about 11 miles north of Alto, about 17 miles south of Jacksonville, about 30 miles from Palestine, about 35 miles from Nacogdoches and about 45 miles from Tyler. Access is provided from FM 752, and the internal asphalt drive gives a finished entry into the property. After entering, the driveway passes the pond, continues through pine timber with broad grassy shoulders, then turns north and opens toward the log home positioned on the hillside.
Land And Water: The land is a balanced mix of open and wooded acreage. The open and pasture areas total approximately 36 acres, while the pond is approximately 6.2 acres, with the remainder in mature pine and hardwood timber. The pond is centrally located and contributes to both the property setting and recreational use. The seller reports a long history of lake management, including forage fish, grass carp, threadfin shad, tilapia, bluegill, lime applications and periodic survey work. These details should be independently verified, but they reflect a consistent owner focus on water and fishery management.
Wildlife And Habitat: The property is high fenced, with the perimeter fence reportedly installed in 2008. The seller reports a managed whitetail deer herd of approximately 50 head, along with roughly 16 to 20 blackbuck antelope. The property has been managed with protein feeders, corn feeders, food plots, trail cameras, selective harvest and limited disturbance in larger timbered areas. While the high fence and herd history are notable, the timber cover, trails, pasture edges and water all contribute to the recreational character of the land. Native East Texas habitat in this area commonly includes loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, red oak, white oak, post oak, hickory, sweetgum, elm, dogwood, yaupon, greenbriar and seasonal browse. Area wildlife commonly includes whitetail deer, feral hogs, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, waterfowl, doves, songbirds and other Pineywoods species.
Home And Living Improvements: The log home was reportedly constructed in 1999 and extensively remodeled in 2014. The home is reported to include approximately 2,128 square feet of living area with three bedrooms, two baths, a large open living and dining area, an attached 768 square foot garage and a large attached carport. Interior features include log home accents, knotty pine walls and ceilings, hand-scraped hardwood type flooring, built-ins, custom woodwork, a stone fireplace, a custom cedar mantle and cedar uprights. The kitchen includes high-end appliances, a built-in refrigerator and freezer, copper apron-front sink and copper ceiling tile accents. Large covered patios are located at the front and rear of the home, and the carport is reported to be approximately 28 feet by 36 feet. A stone patio and stone fire pit are located behind the carport, and the home is served by a whole-house propane generator.
Ranch Improvements: Below the home are several supporting improvements, including a two-stall horse barn, loafing shed, small pen, finished garage/shop and a large equipment or RV shed. 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. Nearby regional attractions and outdoor options include the Texas State Railroad, Mission Tejas State Park, Caddo Mounds State Historic Site, Neches River National Wildlife Refuge and Davy Crockett National Forest. Public hunting and fishing opportunities in the region should be verified through TPWD, USFS and USFWS resources, but area options include public land programs, national forest recreation areas, trails, lakes and seasonal hunting opportunities subject to applicable regulations.
Summary: This 118.097 acre high-fenced property combines a manageable acreage size with established ranch infrastructure, privacy, water, timber, improved pasture, a remodeled log home and long-term wildlife and fishery management. The property offers a rural recreational setting near Rusk with the improvements and access needed for hunting, fishing, livestock, equipment storage, weekend use or full-time rural living, subject to buyer verification of all information.

Cherokee County - Alto Ranch, Alto, TX
Located along the banks of the Neches River, this exceptional 2,979-acre East Texas ranch offers a rare combination of live water, premier recreation, and long-term investment potential. With extensive river frontage along its eastern boundary and additional miles of spring-fed creeks traversing the property, the landscape is rich in water features, creating an ideal environment for wildlife, hunting, and future development.
The ranch is heavily wooded with a beautiful mix of mature pine plantations and native hardwoods, all supported by an active timber management plan. Marketable timber is present throughout, offering both immediate and long-term income potential. Rolling terrain and dramatic elevation changes define the property, with high points providing panoramic views across the Piney Woods—perfect for future homesites or simply enjoying the natural beauty.
At the heart of the ranch lies a stunning approximately 75-acre duck lake, complemented by multiple ponds, duck marshes, sloughs, and winding creeks. These water features create a premier habitat for waterfowl and wildlife, making this a true sportsman’s paradise. The ranch supports abundant populations of whitetail deer, hogs, turkey, ducks, doves, coyotes, bobcats, and even alligators, offering year-round hunting and recreational opportunities.
Bordering a National Forest on multiple sides, the property benefits from significantly reduced hunting pressure, as the national forest restricts feeders and motorized recreational vehicles. This creates a sanctuary-like setting where wildlife can thrive. The ranch is currently under a timber agricultural exemption and has participated in the TPWD Managed Lands Deer (MLD) program for many years, further enhancing its wildlife management value.
Improvements on the property are thoughtfully designed and ready for immediate use. A well-built stone solar home sits atop a scenic hilltop, offering breathtaking million-dollar views and comfortable accommodations for weekend retreats, corporate entertaining or full-time living. Nearby, a 60x60 insulated shop with a 60x20 overhang includes a commercial walk-in cooler and ample space for equipment, ATVs, and vehicles. Covered RV sites and a water well add to the property’s functionality and convenience.

Whether you are seeking a legacy family retreat, a premier hunting ranch, or a long-term land investment, this property delivers on every level.

Cherokee County - E/S CR 1310, Rusk, TX
This wooded timber and recreational property near Gallatin combines managed pine stands, hardwood stream corridors, established interior access, water features, and an improved gathering area. The layout begins with a secluded entrance along CR 1310, then unfolds through planted pine to a pond, pavilion, creek crossing, and an established interior road and trail system. The mix of timber age classes, rolling elevation change, open spaces, and shaded hardwood areas supports forestry, recreation, and potential rural homesite use, subject to buyer verification of utilities, soils, septic suitability, floodplain, and permitting.
Access and Interior Roads
The entrance is positioned near the northwestern corner along the road frontage. From the gate, an improved gravel drive runs east beside the younger planted pine, which provides a substantial wooded buffer between the interior improvements and the road. Beyond this stand, the drive turns southeast toward the pond and pavilion area. A separate gravel road continues approximately 0.7 mile through the northern portion of the tract to a former exploration pad. This road system provides practical access to multiple portions of the property and connects with additional trails beyond Sandy Creek.
Water and Terrain
A reported spring-fed pond, estimated at approximately 0.7 acre, serves as a central feature. Planted pine borders the pond on the west, while the east side opens into a maintained area with scattered mature hardwoods that provide shade around the pavilion. Sandy Creek traverses the rear half of the tract. The creek is described as clear and deep-banked, with water flowing through most conditions, and large mature hardwoods lining the corridor. A bridge crosses the creek and provides access to the trail system and higher ground to the south. Elevation is estimated to range from approximately 310 to 390 feet above sea level, creating noticeable relief across the property.
Timber and Forest Management
The planted pine includes two primary age classes. Most of the older stand is reported to be approximately 22 to 24 years old, while the younger roadside block is estimated at 8 to 10 years old. An estimated 64-acre block east of the pond and north of Sandy Creek was thinned within the past year. Pine south of the creek is reported to be of similar age and has not received the same recent thinning treatment. These stands may provide continued forest-management and future timber-revenue opportunities, subject to a current timber inventory, professional forestry guidance, operating costs, and market conditions. Mixed native hardwoods remain along the streamside management zones and other drainage areas, adding diversity to the planted pine landscape.
Pavilion and Utilities
The maintained pond-side opening is improved with a 30-foot by 40-foot pre-engineered steel pavilion. This structure creates a sheltered base for property visits, equipment staging, outdoor meals, and recreational use. Community water is reported to have been extended to this area. Electricity is reported in the pasture immediately north of the property, but service to the tract, meter availability, capacity, easements, and extension costs should be independently confirmed.
Recreation and Habitat
The combination of planted pine, mature hardwood corridors, water, interior roads, trails, openings, and elevation change creates varied conditions for outdoor recreation and native wildlife habitat. The road and bridge network supports access for property management, hiking, riding, hunting, and wildlife observation, subject to seasonal conditions and applicable laws. The pond-side opening offers an attractive gathering point, while the creek corridor and southern uplands provide a more secluded setting deeper within the tract. No representation is made regarding specific wildlife use or harvest history. A former oil exploration location lies in the northern portion of the property. The referenced well report reportedly classifies the 2017 well as a dry hole. The associated gravel road and open pad remain useful components of the interior access system. The site how offers a open area for parking equipment or for recreational uses.
Homesite and Long-Term Use
The maintained area near the pond, mature shade trees, pavilion, road access, reported water-line extension, and varied topography create several settings that may be evaluated for a rural residence, cabin, or expanded recreational base. No representation is made regarding buildability, septic approval, utility capacity, or permitting. With managed pine, hardwood stream zones, two water features, a bridge, and established interior access, the property offers a flexible combination of recreation, land stewardship, and long-term timber management.

The water depth at the dock is approximately 9 feet deep, ensuring consistent usage. The lake is fed by multiple tributaries which help the lake stay at or near “pool level” even in severe droughts allowing for year round usage.
The recently updated boathouse offers deep water access, floating capability, and convenient accommodations for boating and water sports. The cove is known for its sandy bottom, absence of stumps or debris, and calm water conditions ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, and family recreation.
In addition to the lake frontage, the ranch also includes a stocked bass pond supplied by a dedicated pump system utilizing lake water, helping maintain consistent water levels throughout the year.

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.

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.

Cherokee County - S/S FM 747, Jacksonville, TX
Located on the south side of FM 747 near Jacksonville, this rural tract combines paved FM road frontage, two gated entrances, on-site electric, rolling terrain, open pasture, mature mixed timber, and several water features. The land transitions naturally from accessible pasture near the road into timbered cover, creek corridors, and higher terraced ground. A 5-acre lake, Gum Creek, smaller springs, and feeder creeks add water resources and visual variety, while existing routes allow side-by-side access through most of the property.
The Land
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.
DETAILS:
Paved FM 747 frontage along northwestern boundary with two gates.
Rolling topography from approximately 340' to 500' ASL, with ridge views above the Gum Creek bottom.
