Recreational Land with Home for Sale in Montalba, Texas
891 Private Rd 8454, Montalba, TX 75853
The Ranch at Pine Mountain is a rare 163-acre mountain-top property offering an exceptional combination of natural beauty, recreation, improvements and future potential. Panoramic views stretch across the East Texas landscape, while more than 20 acres of lakes, a 40-acre meadow, scenic trails, interior roads and elevated homesites create an extraordinary setting. At the heart of the property is a fully furnished 4,981-square-foot lodge with 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 half baths, a spacious gathering area, kitchen and wet bar, providing immediate usability for private, corporate, retreat or hospitality purposes. Outdoor amenities include a heated gunite saltwater pool with spa and an impressive 8-court lighted pickleball complex. For the visionary buyer, the ranch offers multiple possibilities, including a private legacy estate, family retreat, hospitality or corporate retreat destination, recreational property, or future residential development. Existing roads, underground utilities and established infrastructure provide a valuable foundation for continued use or future plans. The Ranch at Pine Mountain is more than a beautiful East Texas ranch. It is an established destination with acreage, water, views, recreation, a lodge and infrastructure already in place-an uncommon combination that would be difficult to recreate from the ground up.
