Project Mockingbird

THE OFFERING

AFM Real Estate is pleased to present Project Mockingbird, a rare opportunity to secure a well-managed, large-scale timberland property in the productive growing region of East Texas.  Mockingbird is positioned for efficient property operations, while its proximity to the Houston metropolitan area provides plentiful value-added opportunities across the property.

FOREST & LAND RESOURCES

Project Mockingbird represents a well-positioned, attractively scaled investment opportunity in the highly productive geography of southeast Texas.  The property contains 71% of the acreage in plantable pine with significant near-term cash flow available from an attractive stock of pine volume flowing into the robust local markets. 

The pine plantations have been strategically managed for sawtimber production with the merchantable stands averaging approximately 108 tons per acre.  A strong premerchantable component of the property, averaging 8 years old, provides sustained and ample long-term cash flow opportunities into the future.

The property is closely clustered together with large individual ownership blocks for optimum operational efficiency.  Public road frontage across much of the property provides attractive practical access for forest operations and future retail land sales. 

With a diverse range of age classes, significant available volume, favorable timber markets, and steady recreation lease and sale upside, Project Mockingbird is a choice investment opportunity offering investors immediate, diversified, and sustainable cash flow opportunities.

BID SALE PROCESS

Project Mockingbird is offered for sale through a single-stage, sealed-bid process. Bids will be due August 5, 2026.

DATA ROOM

An electronic data room containing information for interested parties to use to evaluate the property will be available.  All prospective buyers with an executed Confidentiality Agreement (CA) will be granted access to the data room.
