Houston County - County Road 2065, Crockett, TX
You wont find a property that offers this much anywhere near this price point in all of Houston County. Located in one of the best hunting regions in all of East Texas, this property sits in the middle of a vast stretch of unbroken timberland (see maps below). There’s hardly a neighbor for miles, and you can feel it the moment you pull in. It’s quiet, peaceful, and raw; exactly the kind of place that would be perfect for a wooded homestead, or a top tier big buck hunting property.
Even though it feels like the middle of nowhere, it’s not hard to get to. It’s got solid private road access, and a power line already runs right through it, giving you a head start if you ever want to build a cabin or set up a camp, or have a secluded wooded homestead. The land itself is just as good as the location. About half of it is covered in mature timber, and the other half is a great mix of younger pines and open pockets. There’s a small creek that cuts through the front of the property, set down in a deep little ravine shaded by some of the biggest hardwoods you’ll find—white oaks everywhere, and the game sign to prove it. This spot would be absolutely perfect to dam up to create a deep water lake at the base of the home or camp site in the front.
In the front is a quarter acre pond that holds water year round and keep wildlife close. Between the pond, the creek, the thick cover, and the oaks dropping in the fall, you’ve got everything you need to keep deer, hogs, and all kinds of game close by. It’s the kind of place that doesn’t need any work to start hunting—just hang a stand and wait.
And maybe the best part? It’s in Houston County, one of the fastest moving rural markets in the state, and it’s priced right. You will be hard pressed to find a property this sized that offers this many features, anywhere around this price in the entire county! You’re just minutes to the Trinity River and Houston County Lake, and only 15 minutes from Crockett.
Whether you’re looking for a hunting place, a weekend escape, or just want a solid piece of East Texas land that feels wild but still has the basics, this one’s got it. The pictures really do not do it justice, come out and see for yourself.

Houston County - S/S FM 228, TX, Grapeland, TX
Summary
Welcome to this 197.803-acre timber and recreational tract located in the northeastern portion of Houston County along the south side of FM 228. With gently rolling terrain, mature timber, and a scenic rock-bottom creek running through the heart of the property, this tract offers the privacy, character, and natural beauty that make this part of East Texas so enjoyable. The land provides an excellent mix of hunting, recreation, and long-term timber value, with utilities available and easy access to nearby communities.
Land Characteristics
The property features approximately 80 feet of elevation change, ranging from an approximate low of 350 feet ASL to a high point near 430 feet ASL. The rolling topography is consistent across the tract, with several drainages that converge into a picturesque creek running west to east through the central portion of the property. The creek has exposed rock outcroppings in multiple locations, creating a unique visual appeal and soothing natural sound when water is flowing. These rock features are uncommon in this region and contribute to the serene atmosphere found throughout the site. There is a small pond on the property that could be enlarged if desired.
The land is predominantly wooded, with very mature mixed hardwood and pine timber. Typical species in this portion of Houston County include white oak, post oak, red oak, sweetgum, hickory, elm, and scattered mature loblolly pine. The understory is clean and open across most areas, offering 100-yard visibility in places and allowing for easy walking even where there are limited interior trails. A few small fields in the northeastern corner have historically been used as food plots and could easily be expanded or replanted.
Native vegetation is consistent with the region and includes yaupon, beautyberry, greenbriar, American holly, dogwood, muscadine vines, and occasional patches of native grasses in openings. Seasonal color from dogwoods, redbuds, and fall hardwood foliage adds interest throughout the year.
Wildlife
This area of Houston County is well known for strong whitetail deer populations supported by the surrounding timberlands, creek corridors, and food sources. In addition to deer, landowners frequently encounter feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats, gray foxes, raccoons, and various small game. The mature hardwood stands and creek bottom habitat attract a wide variety of songbirds and raptors, while open hardwood ridges provide ideal sites for stand placement. Water features and drainage systems also make the property appealing for occasional waterfowl activity during wet seasons.
Improvements & Utilities
Electricity is already on the property, offering an immediate head start for future improvements. It has been reported that a Consolidated WSC water line runs along FM 228, providing additional utility accessibility for a cabin site or future homesite. Existing trails are limited, but the open understory makes new trail development simple and cost-effective.
Local Area & Amenities
This region of Houston County offers a blend of small-town conveniences and abundant outdoor recreation. The property is located approximately 8 miles northeast of Grapeland, which provides basic amenities, fuel, groceries, and dining. Crockett, the county seat, offers additional services including medical facilities, retail options, and restaurants. Nearby attractions include Mission Tejas State Park, Davy Crockett National Forest, and Ratcliff Lake Recreation Area, all offering hiking, camping, fishing, and public hunting opportunities. Houston County Lake and Lake Forest Park provide additional fishing and boating options, while the Neches River corridor offers paddling and scenic exploration.
Hunters will appreciate the easy access to public hunting lands in the Davy Crockett National Forest, which supports deer, hog, small game, waterfowl, and upland wildlife habitat. Fishing opportunities include largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, and bream in nearby lakes and public waters.
Location & Directions
The front gate is located at approximately 31.5591, -95.3763 along the south side of FM 228. The property sits roughly 8 miles northeast of Grapeland and just off the Hwy 287 travel corridor. Drive times to nearby destinations are approximately: 18 miles to Crockett, 70 miles to Tyler, 120 miles to Dallas, 106 miles to The Woodlands, and 115 miles to Shreveport.

TOUCHES NTL FOREST | UNBEATABLE LOCATION | BEAUTIFUL MATURE TIMBER | POWER
The location of this 5 Acres cannot be overstated, touching an ocean of National Forest and situated amongst large ranching parcels, the location of this property is truly special.

Its not just the access that makes this place special, its the feel. The property sits in a serene pocket of larger ranches, giving it a private and "untouched" feel. The forest itself is a strong, healthy 50/50 mix of pine and hardwood, offering both beauty and utility whether you're thinking recreational retreat or long-term value.
In the center of the property, there is a natural ravine that most folks might overlook. But if you know land, upon one look at this ravine, you'll know this exact type of natural ravine is the crown jewel for pond / lake construction. You literally could not draw up a better or more construction friendly spot for a pond / lake if you tried. Situated perfectly in the middle of the land, right off the main building site, with level knolls on all the "finger-like" offshoots (which are covered in massive old growth oaks), it becomes apparent after seeing this natural topography features that one could plug the north side of this ravine with relative ease, and then underbrush the massive hardwoods on the flat points, to have an absolute stunning lake site right off the National Forest!
Whether you're looking for a hunting basecamp with national forest access, a legacy getaway, or a build site for something truly special, this 5 acre tract checks all the right boxes. This property also has ample county road frontage, and a power line on site (which is very uncommon for land around the National Forest)!

Houston County - Kennard, TX
Summary
This 267.714-acre recreational and hunting tract is located in the northeastern portion of Houston County, Texas, and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a large, private property with meaningful water features, timber diversity, utilities in place, and direct adjacency to thousands of acres of protected public land. The main gate is located along the eastern side of FSR 511 at coordinates 31.5084, -95.1455. The property crosses the road, with approximately 8 to 9 acres situated on the west side and the majority of the acreage positioned on the east side of FSR 511.
Tracts offering this combination of acreage, setting, and surrounding land use do not come available often. The property is exceptionally well suited for buyers seeking outstanding recreational use, hunting opportunities, and long-term investment potential in a highly desirable East Texas location.
Land Characteristics and Topography
The tract features gently rolling terrain with approximately 40 feet of elevation change, creating natural movement across the landscape while remaining highly functional and accessible. Sandy Creek crosses the central portion of the property and winds through areas of mixed native hardwood timber, serving as a seasonal water source, wildlife corridor, and scenic focal point. Interior drainages feed into the creek system and enhance habitat diversity while adding to the propertys visual appeal.
The overall layout provides a balanced mix of upland timber, creek bottom hardwoods, and transitional areas that support both recreational use and future land management objectives.
Timber, Vegetation, and Habitat
The property is predominantly wooded and includes a thoughtfully managed mix of mature native hardwoods, native regeneration, and plantation pine. Timber management has emphasized wildlife habitat while maintaining long-term income potential through future pine harvests.
Large blocks of mast-producing hardwoods are scattered throughout the tract, including white oak, post oak, red oak and water oak. These areas provide reliable feeding and bedding cover while forming natural travel corridors across the property. Additional native species include hickory, sweetgum, elm, green ash, blackgum, American beech, and cedar. The understory consists of yaupon, American beautyberry, greenbrier, and native grasses, creating excellent edge habitat and supporting a healthy, diverse ecosystem.
Wildlife and Recreation
The physical attributes of the property support strong populations of whitetail deer, feral hogs, bobcats, coyotes, gray fox, squirrels, raccoons, and a variety of non-game species. Sandy Creek and a half-acre pond provide reliable water sources, while the combination of hardwood mast, pine cover, and native understory promotes year-round wildlife use. The size and layout of the tract allow wildlife to move freely, making the property well suited for both active hunting and quiet recreational enjoyment.
Improvements and Utilities
A unique and highly desirable feature of this property is the presence of electricity and a water well in a truly remote setting. Utilities are located in the southwestern portion of the tract at the end of the electrical service line, offering privacy and minimal through traffic. Improvements include an older single-wide mobile home, an all-steel shop building, a small equipment shed, and a patio area with a large fireplace overlooking a half-acre pond.
Mature white oaks surround this hillside setting, creating an ideal location for relaxing evenings with family and friends. This area also offers an excellent site for construction of a permanent residence, hunting lodge, or rustic getaway, with infrastructure already in place.
Davy Crockett National Forest
One of the most compelling aspects of this property is its direct boundary with the Davy Crockett National Forest. The National Forest borders the property to the north, with additional large timber tracts located to the west and northeast. This adjacency provides immediate access to thousands of acres of protected public land, allowing expanded recreational opportunities such as hunting, hiking, wildlife viewing, and trail riding. The surrounding land use also helps preserve the areas remote character and limits future development pressure, adding long-term value and appeal.
Location and Area Amenities
While the property offers a secluded and private setting, it remains within practical driving distance of East Texas communities that provide dining, supplies, and services. Houston County is known for its public hunting opportunities, fishing access, and outdoor recreation, including nearby lakes, creeks, and National Forest recreation areas such as Ratcliff Lake and access points along the Neches River. The area provides an ideal balance of solitude, recreation, and accessibility.

Houston County - S/S CR 1135, Kennard, TX
Summary
Located in the northeastern portion of Houston County, Texas, this approximately 70-acre tract offers a desirable blend of gently rolling terrain, mature native timber, surface water, and direct proximity to the Davy Crockett National Forest. With good access, utilities available, and a proven wildlife habitat, this property is well-suited for a small acreage homesite, recreational retreat, or hunting tract with long-term upside.
Property Characteristics
The tract is predominantly wooded with gently rolling topography, featuring an elevation range from approximately 290 feet above sea level to 350 feet above sea level. Numerous natural draws traverse the property, creating visual depth and strong wildlife movement corridors.
Recent timber thinning appears to have been light and selective in nature. Importantly, the SMZ areas were left native and intact, preserving the most scenic portions of the property. These areas showcase attractive rolling ground and mature mixed native hardwoods, highlighted by numerous large white oaks that provide both aesthetic appeal and valuable mast production.
An established internal trail system allows for relatively easy access throughout the property, extending from the northern boundary along CR 1135 nearly to the southern boundary where the tract adjoins the Davy Crockett National Forest.
Water Features
An elevated roadbed crossing one of the natural draws has resulted in the impoundment of a small water feature. This area provides a dependable water source for native wildlife and has proven attractive to wood ducks that frequent the property. The surrounding topography and timber create a quiet, secluded setting that enhances both recreational use and habitat quality.
Wildlife
The combination of mature mast-producing hardwoods, native SMZ corridors, surface water, and direct access to the Davy Crockett National Forest creates an excellent wildlife environment. Whitetail deer, feral hogs, small game, and waterfowl are commonly observed in the area, with the adjoining National Forest offering expanded recreational and hunting opportunities.
Utilities
Electricity and rural water lines run across the front of the property along CR 1135, providing convenient access for a future homesite or cabin development.
Location
The property is situated in northeastern Houston County with frontage along CR 1135 and a southern boundary that adjoins the Davy Crockett National Forest. This location offers the privacy and recreational benefits of National Forest adjacency while remaining accessible for full-time or weekend use.
National Forest Access & Recreation
The southern boundary of the property adjoins the Davy Crockett National Forest, a vast expanse of public land encompassing more than 160,000 acres of East Texas timber, creeks, and managed wildlife habitat. For an owner of a smaller recreational tract, this adjacency significantly expands usable recreation without the burden of additional ownership. The National Forest offers opportunities for hunting, hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, and general outdoor exploration, all while benefiting from professionally managed timber and wildlife programs. This direct access allows the property to function as a private basecamp, providing seclusion and ownership advantages while enjoying the scale and diversity of activities typically only found on much larger tracts.
Local Attractions & Things To Do
The property is well-positioned for enjoying a wide range of East Texas outdoor and small-town amenities. Nearby communities such as Crockett offer dining, shopping, and essential services, while the surrounding region is known for its strong agricultural roots and outdoor lifestyle. Area lakes, creeks, and public lands provide opportunities for fishing, boating, and seasonal recreation, and the surrounding countryside supports hunting, trail riding, and wildlife photography. Combined with the immediate access to the Davy Crockett National Forest, the location allows an owner to enjoy both private land ownership and a broad spectrum of recreational activities without long drive times, making it ideal for weekend use or extended stays.
