Overton, TX 75684 00 County Road 173

This 142-ac property in northwestern Rusk Co offers an excellent blend of timber, pasture, and accessibility. Located just east of US Hwy 259 between Kilgore and Henderson, the property combines agricultural functionality with recreational appeal. With mature pine timber, improved pasture, solid fencing, and good internal access, it presents a solid opportunity for those seeking a working ranch, investment tract, or weekend retreat. The land features gently rolling terrain with elevation ranging from approximately 350’ to 420’ ASL. The tract is a near-even mix of pasture and timber, with the wooded portion consisting primarily of mature plantation pine estimated to be 30+ years old. The timber appears to have been well-managed and is approaching a stage where future harvests could provide economic return. While no formal timber cruise is available, the volume and quality of the stand are readily observable. The open areas of the property are currently used for cattle grazing, with improved grasses supporting livestock production. Perimeter fencing is in place and appears to be in good condition, with some cross fencing as well. One notable feature is a nine-acre hay field in the southern portion of the property, offering a separate, well-maintained forage source. In addition to its agricultural utility, this property offers great recreational value. The layout of the timber blocks, coupled with pipeline and powerline easements, creates a substantial amount of “edge habitat,” which is highly attractive for wildlife, especially white-tailed deer. There are two oil and gas wells on the property—one in the northern third and another in the southern third. These are small in footprint and are maintained by the operator, who also keeps the interior ranch roads in good condition. While there is no mineral interest included in the sale, the surface is being used productively and with minimal disturbance.
