Land for Sale in Grapeland, Texas

Located just eight miles west of Grapeland in northern Houston County, this 131.16+/- acre property offers a well-balanced combination of productive open pasture, native East Texas timber, and gently rolling terrain. With paved county road frontage along CR 2180 and easy access to FM 227 and the US Hwy 287 corridor, the land is ideally suited for agricultural use, recreational enjoyment, or future homestead development in a peaceful, rural setting. The property features elevations ranging from approximately 340' to 410' ASL and generally slopes from north to south. About 40% of the acreage, primarily in the northeastern portion, is open pasture currently used for watermelon farming under a year-to-year lease, which can be terminated if desired. The remaining acreage is wooded with a diverse stand of native vegetation including post oak, white oak, southern red oak, sweetgum, hickory, and scattered loblolly and shortleaf pine. The understory includes yaupon, American beautyberry, and native grasses common to the region. A small wet-weather creek runs along the western portion of the property, offering seasonal surface water and wildlife appeal. The surrounding terrain may be suitable for the construction of a small lake or pond, with the existing drainage and natural catchment suggesting good potential. These areas also provide natural movement corridors for whitetail deer and other native wildlife. The mix of pasture, timber, and water sources creates a strong habitat for a variety of native species. Whitetail deer are commonly seen in the area, along with feral hogs, foxes, raccoons, and various songbirds. The combination of mast-producing hardwoods and edge cover also supports seasonal small game hunting opportunities.
