About this home

Located on a secluded dead-end road near Long Branch in Panola County, this 126± acre East Texas hunting ranch combines quality wildlife habitat, country living, and extensive improvements. The land is predominantly natural-growth hardwood timber with numerous oak flats that provide an important food source for whitetail deer and feral hogs. The owners feed corn and protein year-round and have established feeders, stands, food plots and travel corridors while leaving portions undisturbed for bedding cover. Active feeders have green lights for nighttime hog hunting. Large neighboring tracts reportedly receive very little hunting pressure. Wildlife includes whitetail deer, hogs, bobcats, coyotes and occasional river otters. Three ponds and two creeks provide additional habitat, with wood ducks and teal regularly using the property during hunting season. One pond features a slough with potential for additional waterfowl habitat development through dirt work, seasonal planting and water management.
Improvements include a 2020-built 3BR 3BA home with wraparound porches, granite countertops, tile floors, wood-burning stove and hidden gun room or flex space. A 2018 barn includes a 40x50 interior, 600± SF apartment with full bath, covered patio and two 220V connections. The 2025 metal shop has two 12' roll-up doors and a concrete slab originally designed to support a future vehicle lift. A private well serves the house and barn, and a 20-kW propane standby generator is configured to power both the home and barn living quarters during outages. The property is fenced and has an ag exemption and timber management plan in place. A strong combination of East Texas whitetail and hog hunting, hardwood habitat, water, privacy and ready-to-use improvements.
