Rusk, TX 75785 00 Farm to Market Road 1857

This 60.082-ac tract offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and development potential just outside the City of Rusk. With two open pastures near the road, gently rolling terrain, and mature timber throughout, the property is well-suited for a rural homesite, recreational retreat, or long-term investment. One of the most compelling features of this tract is the quality of the surrounding properties—large neighboring timber holdings to the east and south are reportedly managed for deer hunting, which enhances the overall habitat quality and reduces pressure from nearby development. These expansive tracts contribute to a peaceful, low-traffic setting and help sustain a strong local wildlife population, making this property an ideal choice for buyers seeking a private, nature-rich setting in East Texas. The tract consists of gently rolling terrain with elevation ranging from approximately 350 feet to 440' ASL. The natural slope of the land provides excellent drainage, scenic views, and multiple potential home sites. The irregular shape of the property enhances its privacy and allows for creative land use and development. Two small pastures near the FM 1857 frontage provide excellent options for building sites or establishing utility improvements. Additional small clearings throughout the tract offer natural locations for food plots or camp areas. Walnut Branch, a seasonal creek, winds through the northern portion of the property, contributing to the property’s scenic character and supporting area wildlife. A second intermittent creek crosses the southern half of the tract, eventually joining Walnut Branch near the FM frontage. The property's location, access to utilities, and strong natural resources make it well-suited for a range of uses, from residential development to long-term recreational enjoyment.
