Forest Service Road 543, Ratcliff, TX 75858 - Houston County

With THREE sides bordering the Davy Crockett National Forest, this 44 Acres offers the rare opportunity to own a serene and quiet property amongst the old growth national forest timberland.

Massive hardwood trees are scattered throughout this land. Choice underbrushing would expose the large over-story that these hardwoods provide. Two drains are located in the front of the land, but they are only 2-3ft in width, and all the water is contained within these drain beds, with 0% floodplain along this area. These drains would also be perfect for building a pond, with the watershed keeping the water nice and healthy. Additionally, the land rises steadily up a hill as you make your way to the back, providing the perfect opportunity to establish your home site far off the road on the main ridge top, directly next to the national forest. Walk off your property and directly into the 10,000+ Acre section of Davy Crockett National Forest, to hunt, hike, explore, camp, and much more!

This property would also be perfect for a hunting camp. A few choice food plots would draw massive amounts of game from the vast surrounding forested areas. This section of the National Forest is known for its abundant whitetails. Numerous game trails are readily apparent throughout the property, and driving along FR 543 more often than not means spotting several deer crossing into the grassy forest floor areas amongst the old growth pine timberland.

The property is also a short drive to Ratcliff Lake, a 45 acre public lake managed by the national forest and stocked with bass, crappie, catfish and more. The lake is electric/paddle only, ensuring a kayak or small fishing boat a peaceful and wake free fishing experience. A sandy swimming location for the family is also located on the banks of this massive lake. This campground is truly one of East Texas' hidden gems.

There is no access to a power line, however this property is completely unrestricted, so any sort of off-grid options or solutions that you saw fit could be implemented.
