Overview
Triple Creek Farm is an exceptional ±118.19+/-acre recreational and wildlife property located approximately 9 miles northeast of Longview, Texas, with frontage along FM 449 and convenient access within a highly desirable 2.5-hour drive from Dallas. This heavily wooded retreat offers a rare combination of outstanding location, diverse topography, abundant wildlife habitat, year-round water resources, and comfortable improvements.
The property's mature native hardwoods and planted pine timber have been thoughtfully managed to enhance both wildlife habitat and scenic beauty. Three live creeks converge on the ranch, creating a unique ecosystem that provides year-round water and excellent habitat for whitetail deer, wood ducks, and other native wildlife.
Positioned strategically along the northwestern edge of the property, the owner's cabin serves as an ideal gathering place for family and friends throughout the year. Just steps away, a garage/workshop provides convenient storage for vehicles, equipment, and UTVs. The surrounding old-growth timber creates a picturesque setting where sightings of deer and wood ducks are a common occurrence during the morning and evening hours.
In addition to the owner's cabin, the ranch includes an approximately 1,650-square-foot rental home that currently serves as an income-producing asset. Located approximately 1,300 feet from the main cabin along FM 449, the home enjoys its own private entrance and excellent privacy afforded by the mature timber between the two residences. Contact Broker for details regarding the current rental agreement.
Additional improvements include several charming older barns for equipment storage, hunting supplies, feeders, and stands, as well as multiple bridges that provide seamless access throughout the property's extensive internal road system.
