14.28 Acres
Small Acreage Mixed Hardwood and Pine Timber for Sale Near Troup TX | Smith County Homesite Potential
This 14.28-acre tract near Troup, TX, on County Road 2160 in Smith County presents an accessible entry point for buyers seeking timbered acreage with immediate homesite potential and long-term tax advantages. The property carries a productive mix of native hardwoods and pine timber, with an established electric line already serving the frontage—eliminating one of the most significant infrastructure hurdles for rural land development.
Homesite Flexibility with Texas Timber Tax Valuation Benefits
The tract's configuration allows for a practical division of use: a selected homesite for a primary residence, weekend cabin, or family retreat, while the remaining acreage continues under timber production. This arrangement preserves eligibility for Texas timber special valuation, keeping annual property taxes substantially below what the land would otherwise generate at market value. For buyers who want to live in the country without sacrificing the tax benefits of productive land, this property offers that balance.
Direct County Road Access and Diverse Forest Management Options
County Road 2160 provides direct access without requiring easements or additional right-of-way. The mixed timber composition—combining the faster growth characteristics of southern pine with the wildlife value and long-term sawlog potential of native hardwoods—offers flexibility in future forest management decisions. Soil types in this portion of Smith County typically support both pine and hardwood regeneration, allowing the next owner to manage toward specific timber or wildlife objectives as they see fit.
