This 9-acre parcel is located near the end of a quiet, dead-end road in rural Smith County, northeast of Tyler. The land has been mulcher-cleared to define approximate boundaries and create internal trails. Partially logged in 2024, the property still holds mature timber along the creek and scattered across the acreage. The existing drainage offers the opportunity to construct a pond up to 1.5 acres in size. Sold with no restrictions, the tract is suited for a homesite, recreational use, hunting, or livestock operations with fencing added.

GPS coordinates are 32.3856° N, 95.1977° W.

About 99 percent of the acreage is timber. A partial harvest was completed in 2024, leaving merchantable timber along the creek drainage and scattered residual trees across the rest of the ground. The mulcher work has opened the property for walking and riding while retaining the canopy in the lower areas. The combination of partially cleared upland and timbered creek bottom gives the tract a layered structure useful for both recreation and eventual site development.

Road frontage is approximately 370 feet along County Road 385. Existing perimeter fencing is partial, with barbwire along portions of the boundary. A buyer planning to run livestock will need to complete the fence perimeter.

A drainage feature traverses the property and defines the lower timber zone. This feature is the basis for the agent's assessment that a pond up to 1.5 acres can be constructed with reasonable earthwork. The drainage and associated low ground also concentrate wildlife movement, adding habitat value independent of any pond construction. No existing pond or stock tank is in place. Water is not currently on the property

The property fronts County Road 385, a county-maintained dead-end road. Access is on the road shoulder at present; the MLS directions note that the gate immediately adjacent to the property belongs to a neighboring tract not currently listed for sale. A buyer will need to establish a separate gate and access point from CR 385 onto this parcel. Interior access has been opened by the mulcher clearing, and a side-by-side or similar vehicle can travel the interior trails. Electric service is available at the road. No water, sewer, or gas service is in place. The parcel carries no deed restrictions.

Creek bottom timber tracts in Smith County draw whitetail deer along the drainage corridors, and the brushy margins left by the partial harvest provide additional cover. Wild hog, squirrel, and dove are all common on timbered East Texas parcels of this type. The size of the tract limits large-scale hunting operations, but for a buyer wanting a private place to hunt without a lease, the property functions at that scale. The internal trails cut during mulcher clearing give foot and ATV access throughout.

The property is situated in Smith County northeast of Tyler, within the Chapel Hill Independent School District attendance zone. CR 385 connects to CR 324, which runs east from Loop 323 and old Jacksonville Road. The road carries low traffic and dead-ends near the property, which contributes to the quiet character of the site.
