Groveton Timberlands
THE OFFERING
American Forest Management, Inc. (AFM) has been retained by BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group to solicit sealed bids for approximately 41,801± GIS acres of land and timber known as the Groveton Timberlands. The timberlands are located in Polk (26,816 ± acres) and Trinity (14,985± acres) Counties, Texas. The property is being offered for sale as one package in its entirety through a lump sum single-stage bid sale event. Offers will not be considered for individual tracts.
Groveton is located in East Texas which is an attractive area to own and manage timberland due to the region’s productive soils and well-developed timber markets and an active and expanding rural real estate market. Although the pine sawtimber markets have historically defined the region, the pulp markets are equally as impressive, allowing for the production and marketing of a wide variety of forest products.
