Summary

Wildlife & Habitat
The property supports a variety of native East Texas wildlife, including white-tailed deer, feral hogs, gray squirrel, bobcat, coyote, and a wide array of small game and songbirds. The mix of mature pine, regenerating stands, and hardwood corridors creates excellent year-round cover, browse, and edge habitat. Long-established food plots and hunting setups have been maintained by the current lessees, contributing to a balanced and productive hunting environment.
Recreation & Local Area

Public recreation opportunities are also abundant in the region. The nearby Martin Creek Lake State Park offers fishing, camping, and boating, while the Sabine River bottomlands and state wildlife management areas provide additional access for public hunting and waterfowl activities.

If you've been searching for a secluded, off-the-grid piece of East Texas land at an unbeatable price, this 34.822-acre tract deserves a serious look.
Located just 5 minutes from Lake Striker, this property is about as private as it gets, with no residential neighbors for hundreds (if not thousands) of acres, and basically zero traffic along the road. The land itself is raw, heavily wooded, and full of potential. The timber is nearing maturity, offering a possible future harvest that could help offset development costs. There are two small ravines on the property, one of which was flowing on our last visit and may be spring-fed. Both would make excellent spots to dam up for a pond with relative ease, using the natural topography. 
Its accessed via a prescriptive easement. It is not deeded, and it will need improved to comfortably access, but his easement is a far cry from the common "hand-shake" prescriptive easements, traveling with actual documentation at the courthouse as "never contested and fully recognized". It cannot be guaranteed, but given the documented status of this prescriptive easement, squared with the fact the current landowners have never actively pursued a deeded easement, it stands to reason that a motivated future landowner could have a reasonably fair chance at obtaining a full deeded access easement. But once again this easement, at the current time, is fully usable, recognized, and has been for numerous decades.
This is true East Texas wilderness, thick timber, varied topography, and abundant wildlife sign throughout. From game trails to buck rubs, the area is crawling with whitetail and other native game, making it perfect for a remote hunting tract or personal escape from city life.
Yes, it'll take some work. The easement needs clearing, the land needs shaping, but priced with this in mind, you wont find unrestricted, floodplain-free land this private, with this kind of game and proximity to Lake Striker, at this price point.

CHEAP LAND LOCATED AT THE END OF THE ROAD IN THE IDYLLIC LANEVILLE AREA, WITH SEVERAL LARGE SPRINGS, LARGE CREEK, MASSIVE HILL, POWER, CR FRONTAGE, AND ABUNDANT GAME! EXCELLENT INVESTMENT LAND!
This 73.292 acre property is what every outdoorsman and land buyer hopes to stumble across but rarely does, loaded with natural features, blank-slate potential, and priced right for someone to come in and shape it into something incredible.
The land is heavily wooded, with a beautiful mix of pine and hardwood, offering both privacy and long-term timber value. Up front sits a large, cleared hilltop homesite, giving you elevation, and the perfect foundation to build in the front, and hunt in the back, exactly how a proper East Texas property should lay out.
From that hilltop, the land drops in three gradual levels, each one with its own small clearing, already equipped with feeders and blinds. Its the ideal setup to chase whitetails across different wind conditions and terrain, a hunters dream layout.
One of the most rare and valuable features here is on the east side of the property, where two large, natural springs pour out of the hillside. These springs run year-round, offering crystal-clear water and a unique opportunity to dam up the natural topography with relative ease, and create a deep, crystal clear, spring-fed lake, something you almost never find on raw land.
Over 3 miles of trails wind through the tract, giving easy access by foot or ATV to every corner of the land. And its not just about terrain variety, its got perfect natural structure for wildlife. Theres a 10 acre hardwood bottom with heavy watershed and a strong creek, where deer feed and bed, before bedding uphill into the property.
What makes this place even better is what surrounds it. Hundreds of acres of hardwood bottomland with no homes in sight. That gives you room to grow food plots and draw in game from a massive area, without much pressure from neighbors. The entire property is covered in deer sign, especially down in the bottomland. Also, it is located no more than 1/4 mile from the end of the county road, with only a couple parcels beyond it. It is also worth mentioning, from an investment and recreational standpoint, that this property is less than 20 minutes from the planned ~$1B Wild Spring Dunes Golf Resort, a world class golf course that will be constructed down HWY 259, surely to appreciate property values in the area for years to come!
At the end of the day, this place is a poster child for build in the front, hunt in the back blank slate, sculpt-able, affordable, timberland. Its got the land features and structure to become a truly stunning recreational or forever ranch.
