Overview: Boot Lake Ranch is a highly manicured and well-balanced 410+/- acre combination recreational and agricultural ranch with the focal point being a 42+/- acre lake positioned in the middle of the property. The water quality is best described as a quintessential "tea stained" East Texas lake. The ranch is comprised of pristine hardwood timber, towering plantation pine, abundant fishable surface water, green timber wetlands and gorgeous rolling pastures surrounding the lake. The quiet, asphalt county road frontage offers all-weather access into the property. While there are currently no permanent structures located on the property, multiple, picturesque potential homesites exist surrounding the waters' edge.

Most of the blocks of planted pines are ready to be thinned providing income potential for the new owner. The diversity of the hardwoods is nothing short of incredible. Planted for peak production, their placement is also ideal for wildlife with contiguous corridors winding across the entire property. Species include white oak, saw tooth oak, burr oak, swamp chestnut oak, a variety of red oaks, hickory, walnut, cypress, and black gum among others. The diversity is unmatched even with some of the best stands of native timber. Native forbs and browse are also plentiful and provide robust habitat for wildlife.
