175.33 +/- Acres of Prime Cattle, Creek, and Whitetail Ground

Property Description

Tucked into the quiet Piney Woods of Shelby County just outside Tenaha and near the small community of Paxton, this 175.33 +/- acre tract is the kind of all-around East Texas property that doesn’t come along often, with the pasture to run cattle, the timber and terrain to hold great whitetail numbers, and a large creek running through it. Tenaha sits at the crossroads of US Highways 59, 84, and 96, so larger-city access is just minutes away, with Center about 20 minutes out, Nacogdoches around 45, and both Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn reservoirs within easy driving distance. It’s private and quiet, but never far from town.

The land splits roughly 60/40 between open and wooded ground: about 106 acres of pasture and thick natural hay meadow, and 69.5 acres of mature hardwood and pine timber. The property currently carries an agricultural exemption that keeps the tax burden low. A mix of flat bottomland and rolling hills gives the property several standout homesites. Electricity runs to the North of this property, along County Road 3717, and a well would be the likely route for water service. Additionally, perimeter fencing with some interior cross fencing is already in place.

Moorman Creek is the centerpiece, a large creek that winds through the tract and adds real value for wildlife and water access. A small stock tank/pond adds a second water source, and multiple spots are well suited to digging a larger pond or even a small lake.

Where the pasture meets the timber, the edge is sharp and well-defined, exactly the kind of habitat that concentrates deer movement and makes for great stand and feeder placement. The woods are loaded with deer, hogs, and other critters – making for great hunting ground end to end.

Access is by a deeded, recorded easement. Whether the plan is cattle, hunting, a homestead, or all three, this tract has the space, water, and terrain to make it happen.
