The Opportunity

A trophy ranch, minutes from Tyler

Rolling hills, towering pines and a spring-fed bass lake, behind the gate on State Highway 64.

East Texas Trophy Ranch is 240.37 acres of rolling, heavily timbered East Texas Piney Woods, about nine miles east of Tyler in Smith County, with 0.43± miles of paved frontage on State Highway 64. Massive pines and hardwoods, manicured trails and cleared hunting pockets make the ranch as beautiful to drive as it is productive to hunt.

At its heart is a 4.5± acre spring-fed lake, professionally managed for trophy bass and overlooked by an elevated homesite. Four high-class Atascosa tower blinds, a year-round protein program and trophy whitetail genetics make it a turnkey recreational ranch, with the frontage, utilities and location to support future residential development.

Once through the gate, the highway falls away. Mature timber along the perimeter screens the ranch from the road, and inside it is remarkably quiet and tranquil.

The Ranch

Behind the gate

The Land

Rolling hills & massive timber

The ranch rises and falls across rolling hills under a mature canopy of towering pines and massive hardwoods, broken by sunlit pastures and cleared hunting pockets. Roughly three-quarters of the ranch is timbered, giving it privacy, cover and classic Piney Woods character.

A network of manicured trails, part gravel road and part mowed lane, ties together the pastures, the lake, the homesite and the cleared plot at every blind. The trails are wide enough for full-size trucks as well as side-by-sides.

The Lake

A spring-fed trophy bass lake

Fed by natural springs, the lake has been professionally managed for trophy bass, with pellet feeders, annual bait-fish stocking and two solar-powered aerators. It reaches up to 14 feet deep, even with recent drought holding it about two feet below its normal level, and overflows through a spillway into natural ravines. The seller has cleared the banks all the way around, so it can be fished from every corner.

The Homesite

Build above the water

An elevated homesite sits on an open, park-like slope shaded by tall pines, with views across the lake and the pasture below. It is the natural place for a main home, lake house or weekend retreat, and with utilities at the road and the barn, shop and storage already in place, a buyer can enjoy the ranch from day one and build on their own timeline.

Hunting & Wildlife

Trophy whitetail, world-class waterfowl

Years of management and a year-round protein program have produced elevated trophy whitetail genetics for East Texas, with bucks historically scoring in the 160s. Deer, ducks, wild hogs and varmints such as coyote and bobcat all use the ranch.

Four high-class Atascosa tower blinds, insulated and bug-proof, each overlook a cleared hunting pocket with corn and protein feeders. All blinds and feeders convey. The ranch is perfectly set up for a high fence if the buyer desires.

Pasture & Open Ground

Hay meadows & sunlit openings

About 15± acres of hay pasture, plus open plots scattered through the timber, break up the woods with sunlit grass and long sight lines. The seller cuts hay every year and maintains the agricultural valuation through selective timber removal in overgrown areas.

Improvements & Equipment

Barn, shop & storage in place

There are no living quarters, but the working essentials are here: a new metal equipment building with a roll-up door, a new 40-foot storage container and a rustic storage barn at the pasture's edge. Electric and a rural/city water line are available at the road.

Optional equipment, available separately at the buyer's expense: a TYM T754 Power Shuttle cab tractor with TX75 loader, 7-ft rotary cutter and 72" grapple rake, plus a 2022 Can-Am Defender MAX Lone Star. Both have single-digit hours and are in like-new condition.

Development Potential

Positioned for Tyler's growth

Smith County's population grew 8.2% from 2020 to 2025, to an estimated 252,549 residents (U.S. Census Bureau). Paved highway frontage, utilities at the road and a location nine miles from Tyler give the ranch long-term flexibility, whether as a family compound, estate homesites or a larger residential plan. Enjoy it as a private ranch today and hold it for the future.
