Shelby County - W/S CR 1211, Center, TX
Summary
This 108.446-acre tract is a rare large-acreage offering with extensive frontage on Pinkston Reservoir, located along the north shore of the southern branch of the lake in Shelby County, Texas. With approximately 4,000 feet of reservoir frontage, dual county road access, rolling topography, and a strong mix of marketable pine timber and natural regrowth, this property offers a compelling blend of recreational appeal, homesite potential, and long-term land investment value.
Property Characteristics
The tract contains approximately 108.446 acres and features gently to moderately rolling terrain with elevations ranging from an approximate low of 300 feet above sea level near the waterfront to an approximate high of 390 feet above sea level along the northern portions of the property. The land generally slopes from north to south toward Pinkston Reservoir, creating favorable drainage patterns and multiple elevated areas suitable for homesites with views toward the water.
The property is predominantly wooded, with roughly 70 percent of the acreage in plantation pine timber that appears to be approximately 15 years of age. This timber provides both aesthetic appeal and future income potential. An additional approximately 20 acres consist of natural regeneration that appears to be roughly 5 to 6 years removed from the last timber harvest. This area lies primarily along the eastern boundary fronting County Road 1211 and offers early-successional habitat that is beneficial for wildlife or for a simple buffer from the county road.
Access is a strong feature, with frontage along County Road 1211 on the eastern boundary and additional frontage along a portion of the northwestern boundary on County Road 1217. This dual road frontage enhances usability, flexibility, and potential future development considerations.
Waterfront and Pinkston Reservoir
One of the most significant attributes of this property is its exceptional frontage along Pinkston Reservoir. With an estimated 4,000 feet of shoreline, the tract offers extensive direct access to one of Shelby Countys most well-known recreational lakes. Pinkston Reservoir is a municipally managed water supply lake that is also widely regarded for its fishing and outdoor recreation. The lake supports populations of largemouth bass, crappie, and sunfish, and is known locally as a quieter, less pressured body of water compared to larger regional reservoirs.
The waterfront enhances the propertys recreational value for fishing, kayaking, and nature enjoyment, while also contributing to long-term desirability and value retention. As is typical with Texas reservoirs, areas near the waterline may be subject to flowage or inundation easements tied to the lakes conservation pool elevation, which helps preserve the natural shoreline and limits overdevelopment. This results in a more natural, scenic waterfront environment that is increasingly difficult to find.
Wildlife and Recreation
Beyond the lake itself, the property offers strong recreational appeal for hunting and wildlife observation. The combination of plantation pine, young natural regrowth, and proximity to water creates excellent habitat for whitetail deer, hogs, small game, and a variety of native bird species. The younger regeneration areas along the eastern side of the property provide browse and cover, while the timbered areas offer travel corridors and bedding habitat.
The property is well suited for use as a recreational ranch, weekend retreat, or large-acreage homesite where privacy, outdoor recreation, and access to water are primary objectives.
Location and Area Information
The tract is located in Shelby County, an area known for its deep East Texas roots, abundant timberland, and outdoor lifestyle. The county seat, Center, Texas, is a short drive away and provides everyday conveniences including shopping, dining, medical services, and community events.

Development and Use Potential
With extensive road frontage, significant lake frontage, and varied topography, the property offers potential for a range of uses. It is well suited for a large private homesite, recreational ranch, or possible future development subject to market conditions, zoning, and applicable lake-related easements. The size, access, and waterfront characteristics are increasingly hard to replicate in this part of East Texas.

Shelby County - creek 11470, Center, TX
DESCRIPTION:
KC Ranch is 730± acres for sale in Shelby County, Texas, combining the productivity of a working cattle operation with the natural beauty of the East Texas Piney Woods. This rare property features a balance of fertile creek-bottom pastures, rolling timberland, and spring-fed water sources that create both a reliable grazing environment and a scenic retreat. With its soil quality, timber diversity, and natural water systems, KC Ranch stands out as one of the most versatile ranches in the region.
LOCATION:
KC Ranch is located near Timpson, Texas, approximately 10 minutes from Center and 20 minutes from the Center Municipal Airport. The ranch lies about 60 miles northeast of Nacogdoches and less than 50 miles from the Louisiana border. This area of East Texas is known for its productive pastures, rich wildlife, and strong agricultural roots. The property is surrounded by large timber tracts, providing privacy and excellent wildlife habitat.
LAND:
The ranch stretches across rolling hills that transition into fertile creek-bottom pastures. A spring-fed creek meanders through the property, feeding five existing ponds and offering year-round water for cattle and wildlife. Sandy loam and clay subsoils promote excellent aquifer recharge with natural moisture retention. The land supports an average stocking rate of two head per acre and has never required livestock evacuation during drought conditions.
VEGETATION:
Located within the East Texas Piney Woods region, the ranch showcases a mix of open pastures and mature hardwood timber. Oak, pecan, and hickory trees, many over a century old, create both shade and beauty across the landscape. Selective timber harvest opportunities or conservation management programs could further enhance long-term value.
WILDLIFE
KC Ranch supports diverse native wildlife, including whitetail deer, wild hogs, dove, and waterfowl. The combination of timber, open pasture, and water resources makes it ideal for both hunting and outdoor recreation. Scenic views, quiet creek bottoms, and wooded trails make this property as enjoyable for weekend escapes as it is for working ranching operations.
IMPROVEMENTS:
Fencing throughout the ranch supports rotational grazing, with multiple pasture divisions for efficient cattle management. A large hay barn provides storage for equipment and feed, and the property’s dual county road frontage allows easy access from multiple points. Several elevated ridgelines offer prime locations for a future ranch house overlooking the property.
REMARKS:
KC Ranch represents the best of East Texas—productive, scenic, and diverse. With spring-fed water, hardwood timber, strong grazing ground, and outstanding habitat, this 730± acre ranch is equally suited for cattle production, recreation, or long-term investment.
