FM 95 , Garrison, TX 75946(Nacogdoches County)

This property is being offered in conjunction with other land, one parcel being the 386 acres contiguous with its south boundary, and a 466-acre parcel resulting from combining this 386 acres with 80 acres further south on the west side of FM 95. Both of these parcels are very similar in character, having a mix of native and planted pine, pastures, and outstanding hardwood forests. The 154 acres and 466 acres are offered either separately or in combination as a very nice 620-acre land holding offering timber production, cattle lease income, and recreational opportunities.

This forester has over forty years of experience managing southern forests, and this is one outstanding property from the forest management and recreational aspect. The approximately 33-year-old loblolly pine plantation is maturing into a good size sawtimber stand. The approximately 16-year-old loblolly pine plantation just had its first thinning harvest a few years ago.

This land offers an owner hunting, riding trails, walking open woodlands, observing wildlife, growing good pine and hardwood timber, and the enjoyment of a nice hardwood forest. Over much of the property, the understory is semi- to fully open and is easy to traverse on foot. Cattle have been run on this property for many years, and are still present, assisting in keeping the forest understory in good condition. Access across Wanders Creek is by a bridge believed to be located on the Garrett West 154 acre tract.

About 60% of the soils on this property is Eastwood very fine sandy loam, which is a very good upland soil for growing commercial forests. The balance is the Marietta soils in the Wanders Creek bottom, and is one of the highest-producing soils in the southern U.S. for both pine and hardwood trees, and makes good pasture, according to the USDA NRCS soils survey. This soil has a very high site index of 100, which is a commonly-used measure of tree growth potential.

The Wanders Creek bottomlands as well as the area along FM 95 contain 52 acres of bottomland and upland hardwoods. These areas provide good wildlife habitat as well as some timber production.

45 acres of pastures and fields, with 41 acres being bottomland and 7 acres upland.
