126 ± Acre Hunting and Ranch Land for Sale in Mineola Texas

LOCATION: TBD CR 2786 Mineola TX 75773

Hunting land, ranch land, and room for a country home come together on this 126 ± acre property on CR 2786 near Mineola, Texas. Located in Wood County, the tract is 8 minutes from downtown Lindale and about 35 minutes from Tyler.

Rolling pasture and hardwood timber divide the acreage, with several creeks, three stock tanks, and approximately 0.73 miles of county road frontage. Sabine Wildlife Ranch is a United Country Legacy Land Exclusive Signature Property, listed at $1,521,000.

GPS coordinates for the property are 32.6110° N, 95.3835° W. A recent survey is on file, no deed restrictions apply, and livestock grazing is the current use.

Rolling topography gives this East Texas ranch land its shape. Based on the topographic map, elevation changes roughly 40 feet across the tract, climbing from the creek bottoms to open hilltops where a home or barn could look out over the pasture. Large oaks stand scattered through the open fields. The wooded ground holds post oak, blackjack oak, red oak, willow oak, water oak, hickory, dogwood, and shortleaf pine, the oak and pine blend found where the Post Oak Savannah meets the Piney Woods. Soils run from sandy loam on the rises to clay in the lower ground.

Water is spread across the ranch rather than concentrated in one corner. Three stock tanks hold water for livestock and wildlife, and several creeks wind through the property.

One tank, on the west side along the main drainage, has been identified for expansion into a 5 ± acre pond. A pond that size would add fishing, waterfowl habitat, and a water view from a future homesite.

Aerial maps on file mark the stock tanks, the creeks, and the pond site. The creek corridors also give deer covered travel routes between the timber and the open grass.

East Texas hunting land holds game when food, cover, and water overlap, and all three are present here. Oaks and hickories drop mast each fall.

Through the summer, the creek bottoms keep shade and water, while long timber edges run where the hardwoods meet the pasture. Whitetail deer and feral hogs use the ranch, and ducks are drawn to the water.

The stock tanks, creeks, and future pond site give a hunter several options for stand locations, shooting lanes, and food plots. At 126 ± acres, there is also space for ATV and riding trails and a hunting camp.

Livestock grazing is the current use of the property. Metal fencing and cross fencing are in place, so cattle or horses can be rotated between pastures. The open ground carries native warm-season grasses, including little bluestem, Indiangrass, big bluestem, purple top, and some broomsedge.

Native bunchgrasses of this kind supply forage under managed grazing and nesting cover for wildlife, which fits a buyer planning a combined cattle and wildlife program. In late summer, the scattered pasture oaks give cattle shade.

The ranch fronts approximately 0.73 miles of county-maintained CR 2786, with a gated entrance on the north side of the road.

A Wood County electric line runs along the west boundary. Community water is available. With power on the property line and water service available, planning a home, barn, or weekend cabin starts from a practical baseline.

The property is in Wood County and is served by Mineola ISD. It is currently under an agricultural exemption, and buyers should verify exemption status, continuation requirements, and any rollback implications with the Wood County Appraisal District.

A survey plat, boundary survey, topographic map, aerial maps, legal description, and field notes are on file.
