Farm Description

Dogwood Hills Farm is a beautiful, well-timbered East Texas property located just minutes from Caddo Lake State Park and approximately two and a half hours east of Dallas. Thoughtfully improved and surrounded by natural beauty, this private retreat is ideally suited for a weekend hunting property, recreational getaway, or long-term timber investment.

Tucked away along a quiet paved FM road, the property features approximately 148.12 acres across two separate tracts.

The southern tract contains 27.36 acres of predominantly planted pine timber that has been professionally thinned once, enhancing both timber health and future value. An all-weather interior road and perimeter trail provide reliable year-round access throughout the tract.

Across the property, a balanced mix of native hardwoods and pine creates a beautiful and diverse East Texas landscape. Creek drainages lined with blooming dogwoods illuminate the timber in the spring, while towering white oaks throughout the property support abundant wildlife and add to the ranch's scenic character. Gently rolling terrain provides attractive views, excellent hunting locations, and approximately three miles of trails suitable for hiking, horseback riding, Atv, or UTV use.
