105 acres of East Texas timberland in Cass County, just outside Atlanta, with county road frontage, electricity at the road, a pond, and a merchantable stand of timber that is ready for a thinning. The timber is at the point in the rotation where a thinning is due.
A thinning can generate revenue early in ownership while the remaining stand continues to grow, and opening the canopy puts sunlight on the forest floor to improve browse and cover for wildlife. A buyer should have a consulting forester cruise the timber and put together a management plan before any harvest.
The tract holds a well established whitetail deer and hog population, with good cover, hardwood in the mix, and water on the place. At 105 acres there is room to lay out stands, food plots, and interior trails. The pond serves as a water source for wildlife and a spot to sit and watch the country, a feature many timber tracts in this region lack.
Access is straightforward. The property fronts County Road 4670 for year round county maintained access, and electricity runs the full length of the road frontage. That removes one of the biggest costs in developing rural land for a buyer planning a cabin, camp house, barn, or shop. Linden is roughly 14 miles away, Texarkana about 25 miles, and Shreveport, Louisiana, about an hour. Atlanta State Park on Wright Patman Lake adds boating, fishing, and camping nearby.
