EAST TEXAS RANCH FOR SALE NEAR OVERTON IN RUSK COUNTY

Wooster Ranch totals 105 ± acres in Rusk County, Texas, located off Wooster Drive east of New London and within the West Rusk school district. The property is improved with a 2008-built home of 3,884 square feet, a metal outbuilding and workshop, and more than 2 miles of established trails through wooded terrain. Three creeks cross the tract, including two seasonal creeks and one spring-fed creek, and the land carries a mix of hardwood and softwood timber over sandy loam soil. GPS coordinates for the property are 32.24013° N, 94.92896° W.

The one-story home was built in 2008 on a hill overlooking the property, with stone and brick and stone construction, a covered front porch, and a covered patio. Inside, the open floor plan includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bathroom across 3,884 square feet. The kitchen and eating area share a combined layout, and a den adjoins a single living area with an insert-style fireplace and gas logs.

Interior features include a ceiling fan, security system, and smoke alarm. Central electric heating and cooling serve the home, with LP gas available onsite. Water is supplied through the community system, and the home is served by an aerobic septic system. A two-car side-entry garage and a two-car carport provide parking, and a concrete driveway leads to the home.

The acreage is level with an irregular, wooded layout consistent with the piney woods of Rusk County, Texas. Native grasses cover the open ground between stands of hardwood and softwood timber, and sandy loam soil runs throughout the tract. The land carries electric and pipeline easements along with the active timber exemption already in place — an advantage for owners looking to manage the property's tax burden while putting the acreage to use.

Water is one of this ranch's defining features. Three creeks cross the property — two seasonal creeks and one spring-fed creek — giving the land both year-round and seasonal water sources across the wooded acreage. The creek corridors add cover, drainage, and visual character to the property, and they're part of what makes the more than two miles of trails worth exploring on foot, on horseback, or by side-by-side.

The mixed timber and creek support whitetail deer and wild hogs, with cover and water access throughout the property. More than two miles of established trails wind through the wooded ground, suited to walking, horseback riding, or off-road recreation. For hunters and outdoor families alike, the combination of habitat, water, and trail access turns this acreage into a working recreational tract rather than just open land.

Wooster Ranch is reached via Wooster Drive, a county maintained road with a natural surface, off Humble Road east of Highway 42 near New London. The home sits about a quarter mile down Wooster Drive from the Humble Road turn.

TThis East Texas ranch sits in the piney woods of Rusk County, close enough to daily conveniences without giving up the privacy of rural acreage. New London, the closest community, is just minutes away and home to the New London Museum, which preserves the history of the town's 1937 school explosion.

Overton offers fuel, groceries, and basic medical services a short drive from the property, while Henderson, the Rusk County seat, adds a wider range of shopping, dining, and the Depot Museum's restored 1901 railway depot. Kilgore and Longview extend the reach further with retail, healthcare, and attractions including the East Texas Oil Museum and the Kilgore College Rangerette Showcase and Museum, and Tyler and the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex remain within a comfortable drive for work, shopping, or air travel.
