Land for Sale in Center, Texas
County Road 3173, Center, TX 75935
It's rare to find a piece of land in East Texas that truly stops you in your tracks. This 172 acre tract on Bull Pine Ridge is one of those few.
This land is a study in contrast and diversity. Roughly 50 Acres of the property is blanketed in a towering forest of ancient hardwoods and pines, some over 100 years old.
Running through the middle of the tract are two natural spring heads, shaded by massive timber and nestled in a natural ravine that seems hand-carved for a spring-fed lake buildout.
At the back of the property lies Brushy Creek, a seasonal creek with a massive watershed that flows strong nearly 10 months of the year. A rock slate ridge runs up to the creek, shielding the property from floodplain while maintaining a gentle enough slope to allow for park-like underbrushing.
And perhaps most notably, the price! You'll be hard-pressed to find land in East Texas with this level of timber, water, topography, and privacy at this price point!
