This 417+/- acre high-fenced ranch in Harrison County, Texas is a true legacy property, built from the ground up by one family with a dream that turned into reality. It’s a working, living ranch filled with life, character, and comfort. The land features gently rolling pastures with scattered hardwoods, multiple homesites, and an abundance of surface water that makes every view something special.
The ranch is home to an impressive variety of wildlife and livestock which can be purchased in addition to the property; blackbuck, Pere David’s deer, oryx, red deer, alpacas, Bethlehem donkeys, Brangus cattle, and even a longhorn named Hank. For buyers looking to start fresh, all animals can be removed prior to closing, offering a blank canvas to create your own high-fence hunting ranch or wildlife operation.
There are three main lakes - approximately 9.5 acres, 8.21 acres, and 3.06 acres which all stocked with bass, crappie, and catfish. There are 2 smaller ponds that serve as feeder ponds with valves to manage water and fish flow, creating an angler’s paradise that never runs dry.
Improvements include a 9,840 SF spray-insulated equipment barn (built 2023) with multiple roll-up doors for easy equipment access; a 3,200 SF hay barn; and a 12,000 SF cantina barn with a full kitchen, covered wrap-around porch, and beautiful lake views, perfect for family gatherings or hosting events. Owners say they’ll miss sipping morning coffee on the porch while watching the red deer and Pere David’s drink at the water’s edge.
The modular home is a pristine 3-bed, 2-bath residence with a new HVAC, generator, water heater, fenced yard, carport, and a french drain system.
Utilities are well thought-out: there are seven power meters on the property, both well and rural water (switchable by valve), plus propane tank.
With roughly one mile of FM 9 frontage and a third of a mile on FM 1999, this ranch offers accessibility and future potential. The roads are SP2 rock and hold up year-round. A historic Civil War-era railroad bed still traces through the back pasture by the creek - just one of the many unique details that make this ranch one-of-a-kind. The ranch also has interior electric gates, to get through the cross fencing.
Whether you’re looking for a private retreat, a family legacy ranch, or a blank slate to design your own hunting operation, this property delivers. The owners are also willing to share contacts for their ranch team: feed, hay, vet, and livestock suppliers, making for a smooth transition to the next steward of this incredible East Texas property
