23.68 Acres
This 23.68-acre tract in Smith County offers a combination of income-producing timber and a promising homesite location for buyers seeking to build in rural East Texas. Located along CR 2160 near Troup, the property features approximately 650 linear feet of county road frontage, providing access and multiple entry points for future development or timber operations. Dallas, Texas is two hours west of the property.
The land rises from 510 to 550 feet in elevation, with a hilltop identified as an ideal building site for a home or cabin. This elevated position within the timber stand would provide views of the surrounding landscape, while the natural topography creates drainage advantages for any future construction.
Mature hardwood and softwood timber cover the property, which is currently enrolled in a timber tax exemption that significantly reduces annual property tax obligations. The standing timber presents immediate thinning opportunities for landowners seeking to generate revenue while improving forest health and long-term productivity.
Electricity and water utilities are available across the road, eliminating a major hurdle for families planning to construct a custom home. Whitetail deer and feral hogs populate the property, offering recreational value for hunters or wildlife enthusiasts seeking a private retreat. The property is within Troup ISD and approximately 18 miles southeast of Tyler.
The property's mixed hardwood and softwood composition provides flexibility in harvest timing and market conditions. Selective thinning operations can generate immediate income while improving the residual stand's growth rate and timber quality.
For buyers seeking a future homesite, an elevated building location offers both practical and aesthetic advantages. The 40-foot elevation gain across the property creates natural drainage while positioning any future residence within the mature timber canopy.
This 23.68-acre Smith County timberland combines productive forestland with an identified homesite location. The property offers county road frontage and utilities, established timber tax exemption, and optimal for wildlife populations—essential elements for families seeking to build their country home while benefiting from the land's natural resources.
