Carlton Longleaf Tract
Turnkey Hunting and Timber Property
This exceptional ±220-acre turnkey hunting property offers an outstanding combination of recreation, wildlife habitat, timber investment, and amenities. A well-established road and trail system provides excellent access throughout the property, making it easy to reach hunting areas, timber stands, and ponds. The property includes a fully equipped camp house with a large covered porch, full bathroom, water well, and septic system, along with a storage container for equipment and supplies. The camp area is an ideal setup for weekend getaways, hunting camps, or an extended stay in the outdoors. The camp is powered by a generator that is not included in the land sale.Hunting & Wildlife
The property offers excellent hunting opportunities for deer, hogs, ducks, and squirrels. Three ponds and a naturally flooded duck slough provide dependable water sources and attractive habitat for wildlife, including waterfowl. The Neches River is approximately 1/4 mile from the property, adding to the area’s recreational appeal and wildlife resources. Four ladder stands, five box blinds, and nine feeders convey with the property, providing a tremendous head start for the new owner. Professionally managed forestland creates a diverse mix of habitat types, cover, and wildlife travel corridors throughout the property.
Forest Management
Approximately 90 acres of the property are mixed hardwood and pine streamside management zones, providing valuable wildlife habitat, mast production, natural travel corridors, and erosion control for drains and creeks. Approximately 110 acres are established in a premerchantable longleaf pine plantation, a particularly valuable forest type with significant historical, ecological, and wildlife importance. Longleaf pine forests once covered vast portions of the southeastern United States but have declined dramatically from their historic extent, making well-managed longleaf stands an increasingly valuable habitat resource. Longleaf pine ecosystems support a remarkable diversity of plant and wildlife species and provide open, park-like forest conditions with abundant sunlight reaching the forest floor. As the stand matures, it can provide nesting, foraging, bedding, and travel habitat for a wide variety of wildlife while producing valuable future timber. The longleaf plantation also represents a long-term timber investment, with future income potential as the trees mature. An additional approximately 15 acres of mature loblolly pine plantation provide an established timber resource and additional wildlife habitat. Together, the longleaf and loblolly pine stands, hardwood forests, streamside management zones, ponds, and duck slough create a diverse forest ecosystem that enhances both the property’s recreational value and long-term investment potential.
