Description

Summary

This tract is estimated to be approximately 53.5 acres in size, with final acreage to be confirmed by survey. The property is irregular in shape and offers long frontage along CR 1247 in southwest Shelby County. Access is provided via a small trail located near the southern portion of the property at approximately 31.652, -94.365. The tract features rolling topography, a mix of plantation pine and naturally regenerated native timber, and strong recreational appeal with potential for a rural homesite.

Property Characteristics

The land consists of a diverse timber profile, including approximately 15 acres of plantation pine estimated to be around 15 years old. Roughly five acres are classified as SMZ area, while the remaining acreage was harvested approximately six to eight years ago and has been allowed to naturally regenerate. This regrowth creates varied cover, edge habitat, and future management flexibility. Topography is gently to moderately rolling, with elevations ranging from an approximate low of 260 feet above sea level to a high of approximately 370 feet, offering several areas with attractive views across the property.

Timber and Land Use

The plantation pine acreage provides a defined timber component, while the naturally regenerated areas reflect early-stage successional growth that may require cleanup or management depending on the buyer’s objectives. The property layout and terrain lend themselves well to recreational use, wildlife habitat improvement, or selective clearing for a homesite. Long county road frontage also provides flexibility for future access improvements.

Wildlife and Recreation

The property benefits from adjacency to a large, contiguous timber tract to the east and south that spans several thousand acres, creating a strong wildlife corridor. Native regrowth, SMZ areas, and nearby water sources contribute to habitat diversity. The Attoyac River is located approximately one mile south of the property, further enhancing the area’s wildlife and recreational appeal. This tract is well suited for hunting, hiking, ATV use, or a quiet weekend retreat.

Location

Situated in southwest Shelby County, the property offers rural seclusion while remaining accessible via CR 1247. The surrounding area is dominated by large timber holdings and low-density land use, providing privacy and long-term recreational value. Utilities are believed to be available along the county road, though availability and capacity should be verified by the buyer.

Final Thoughts

With rolling terrain, varied timber composition, proximity to the Attoyac River, and adjacency to large timber holdings, this tract presents a versatile opportunity for recreational ownership or future homesite development in a desirable part of Shelby County.
