Woods Ranch

Description

Overview: Woods Ranch is located .3 miles from the banks of Lake Bob Sandlin. The ranch features over 115' of elevation change, heavily forested massive mature hardwood timber, creek draws, plantation pine, two small ponds, ~1 acre of a larger lake and established trails, off-grid-style campsite area all located off a quiet blacktop county road for year-round access. The recreational property is nestled in a desirable area of SW Titus County. This is a great opportunity to own a lake house on one of the neighboring picturesque east Texas public lakes and have a ranch in close proximity. Or build your own permanent structure on the ranch and be within a mile of two East Texas finest public lakes.

Improvements: Thoughtful improvements have been made to the property but not overdone ready for the next owner to complete the ranch to their desires. All new five-strand low fence has been completed around the majority of the ranch, a new entry gate and a unique graveled campsite area with an open-air 12' diameter grilling gazebo and a 30x30 metal equipment barn have recently been completed. The campsite is complete with a fire ring, trash burning station, woodshed, and solar lights surrounding the area. Power immediately adjacent to the campsite but not currently equipped as the current owner wanted an off-grid style setting. The area is ready for a permanent structure to be constructed or simply used as a hang-out spot between hunts.

Trees, grass, forbs: The ranch's fertile soils foster a diverse stand of hardwoods and pine timber. Tree cover consists of approximately 17 acres of plantation pine estimated to be approximately 22 years in age with the remainder of the ranch being a mixture of mature hardwood timber with some sporadic pine. The diversity and maturity of the hardwoods are nothing short of incredible. Native forbs and browse are also plentiful and provide robust habitat for wildlife.

Water: The ranch features ~1.3+/-acres of an 8+ acre lake surrounded by an established hardwood and pine canopy. Two small ponds are located on the eastern side of the property and multiple wet weather creek draws add to the diversity of the landscape.

Topography: Woods Ranch has diverse terrain ranging from a high point of 459' above sea level to a low of 342' at the base of the draws exiting the NE corner of the property.

Wildlife: The Seller has thoughtfully placed food plots around the ranch complete with Redneck blinds and feeders ready for the next owner to step in and start hunting in the upcoming deer season. There is an abundance of Whitetail deer in this part of Titus County and plenty of other wildlife species for recreational enjoyment.
