Property Overview: 699 Acres on State Highway 64 Near Ben Wheeler 

Roseland Timber Farm is a 699-acre East Texas hunting and timber land tract in Van Zandt County near Ben Wheeler, Texas. The property is located at GPS coordinates 32.3856° N, 95.5232° W, on Highway 64 in Ben Wheeler, Texas 75754. State Highway 64 divides the land into two tracts that can be purchased together or separately. The North Tract holds 228.8 acres. The South Tract holds 470.4 acres. Across the combined acreage, managed pine, hardwood bottoms, and creek corridors carry the kind of working stand and recreational structure that supports active hunting and long-term timber income, with road frontage and utilities that also position the land for transitional uses. 

Land and Terrain: Two Tracts Divided by Highway 64 

The property lies within the Post Oak Savannah and Pineywoods transition zone, where rolling pine ground steps down into mast-rich hardwood bottoms. Topography across the two tracts is gentle but variable enough to produce drainage patterns, sight lines, and game travel corridors that work for stand placement and stand variety. 

 

North Tract: 228.8 Acres with Highway 64 Frontage


The North Tract is the smaller of the two tracts and carries roughly 3,000 feet of Highway 64 frontage. Elevation climbs from 480 feet to 610 feet across the tract, producing rolling ground that improves drainage and broadens long-distance views from the higher points. Water and electricity are available at the highway frontage. 

 

South Tract: 470.4 Acres with Interior Trail Network


The South Tract is the larger of the two tracts and carries multiple interior road access points along with more than 4.4 miles of internal trails. The trail network opens the interior of the tract for stand placement, scouting, ATV travel, and game retrieval without the need to cut new roads. The depth of the South Tract, combined with its interior infrastructure, gives a hunter or land manager working room across a large block of timber. Water and electricity are available at the highway frontage. 

Timber Stand: Pine Saw Timber, Pulpwood, and Hardwoods 

The standing timber across both tracts includes pine saw timber, pine pulpwood, and hardwoods, in proportions reflecting a working East Texas pine farm with intact bottoms. Soils across the property are Red Springs gravelly fine sandy loam and Cuthbert fine sandy loam, types well-suited to East Texas pine production and consistent with the working stand currently on the ground. For a buyer evaluating a long-term hold, the inventoried timber and the soil base together support a reasonable expectation of continued biological growth, periodic thinning and harvest income, and a hardwood component that anchors wildlife habitat alongside the pine income stream. 

Water Features: Creek Corridors and Hardwood Bottoms

Hardwood bottoms and creek corridors thread through both tracts, holding water during wet months and feeding the lower drainages where seasonal ducks work in. These same corridors create the mast-rich travel cover that whitetail deer use to move between feeding and bedding areas. Water and electricity are available at the highway frontage on both tracts, providing a practical starting point for a future cabin, hunting camp, or homesite. 

Wildlife and Hunting: Whitetail Deer, Feral Hogs, and Seasonal Duck 

The property carries whitetail deer, feral hogs, and seasonal duck hunting along the lower drainages, with other game consistent with the Post Oak Savannah and Pineywoods transition. Hardwood bottoms hold the food and cover that keep deer on the property year-round. Pine sections give a buyer flexibility to set food plots, blinds, and shooting lanes without disturbing the bottom corridors. The interior trail network on the South Tract makes stand placement, scouting, and game retrieval straightforward across the deeper portions of the property. For a sportsman who wants a working hunting tract with usable interior access on day one, the combination of managed pine, hardwood bottoms, road frontage, and trail infrastructure is already in place. 

Access, Road Frontage, and Utilities

State Highway 64 bisects the property, giving each tract direct paved highway access. The North Tract uses the 3,000-foot frontage as its primary entry. The South Tract has multiple interior road access points in addition to the 4.4-mile interior trail system that connects stand sites and bottoms across the larger acreage. Water and electricity are available at the highway frontage on both tracts. The two-tract layout, paved highway frontage, and utility availability give a buyer the option to close on the full 699 acres or purchase a single tract.

Transitional Land Value Along the Highway 64 Corridor 

Beyond hunting and timber income, the property has transitional land value, broadening the buyer pool. Highway 64 frontage with water and electricity on both tracts, multiple road access points on the South Tract, and proximity to Tyler and Canton give the land a forward path as the East Texas growth corridor along Highway 64 continues to fill in. A buyer holding the timber and hunting use today is also holding a parcel with future use optionality on the highway frontage portions.
