Property Description

863 Acres of Prime East Texas Hunting Land with Nearly 2 Miles of Sabine
River Frontage

The Getaway is a convergence of land, water, and wildlife
that serious hunters and recreational land buyers spend years searching for.
Positioned near US Highway 80 between Dallas and Shreveport, this 863-acre
property in Upshur and Wood counties carries nearly two miles of Sabine River
frontage, 2.5 miles of Rogers Creek running through the interior, hardwood
bottoms stacked with deer, sloughs that hold birds when the migration pushes
through, and approximately 150 acres of mature Loblolly Pine plantation that
adds both timber value and thick, thermal cover. Five pipeline right-of-ways
cut natural shooting lanes through the property. Multiple established shooting
houses are already in place. The infrastructure is built. The habitat is dialed
in. You show up, hang your coat, and hunt.

Whitetail Deer Hunting | 180-Class Bucks Harvested on This Property

The hardwood bottoms and creek drainages at The Getaway hold
the kind of whitetail hunting that keeps serious deer hunters coming back
season after season. The canopy is a mix of Post Oak, Willow Oak, Water Oak,
Red Oak, Cherry Bark Oak, Shumard Red Oak, Black Hickory, and Black Gum, mature mast producers that draw deer out of the timber and into range during
the rut and early season. Rogers Creek and the Sabine River corridor create
natural travel routes that concentrate deer movement and make patterning big
bucks a matter of patience, not luck.

The property’s track record speaks for itself. 180-class
whitetails have been harvested here. Five pipeline right-of-ways function as
ready-made shooting lanes and food plot candidates. Multiple shooting houses
are in position and ready to hunt. The Getaway has the genetics, the habitat,
and the pressure history to produce mature bucks. It does not need a rebuild; it needs new boots!

Duck Hunting on Sloughs, Flooded Timber, and Sabine River Bottoms

When the migration stacks up in East Texas, The Getaway
becomes a different kind of place entirely. The sloughs are loaded with
Duckweed and Smartweed and ringed by timber that pins birds and keeps them
working. Flooded timber and creek bottoms along Rogers Creek and the Sabine
produce the kind of natural habitat that holds puddle ducks throughout the
season; no pumps, no artificial flooding, just the land working the way it was
designed to work. Wood Ducks, Teal, Mallard, and other puddle ducks have been taken
here in past seasons. Cleared roads and interior trails provide direct access
to every duck hunting area on the property without walking out at dark in
knee-deep water.

Sabine River Fishing | Bass, Catfish, Crappie, and Alligator Gar

The Sabine River, which runs along the property boundary, is a
working East Texas river fishery, not a supplemental amenity. Largemouth Bass,
Crappie, Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Blue Catfish, Bream, Buffalo, Carp,
and Alligator Gar all inhabit the river. Rogers Creek adds additional holding
water inside the property. Whether you are running lines, throwing a topwater
at first light, or fly fishing the creek edges during summer, the water at The
Getaway fishes hard across multiple species and seasons without leaving the
property. For the angler who wants a base camp with serious river access, the
combination of Sabine frontage and interior creek mileage makes this property a
compelling setup.

Hog Hunting, Small Game, and Year-Round Opportunities

The Getaway does not go quiet between deer and duck seasons.
Wild hogs are active throughout the property, and the creek bottoms and pine
thickets provide exactly the kind of rooting, denning, and travel cover that
keeps populations moving and huntable year-round. Bobcats, Coyotes, and
Squirrels round out the small game and predator opportunities. The diverse
habitat, from river bottoms to pine plantations to open fields, supports a
full rotation of hunting activity from archery season through late winter, with
hogs bridging every gap in between.

Camp Headquarters | Furnished Cabin, Equipment Storage, and Walk-In Cooler

The camp infrastructure at The Getaway was built for working
hunters, not weekend glampers. Camp Headquarters includes a fully furnished
cabin with one private bedroom, a large bunkroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a
living and gathering area with a front porch. Every piece of furniture conveys.
Utilities are established; Big Sandy City Water and Upshur County Rural
Electric are already in place, backed by conventional septic.

The support buildings are what separate this camp from a
cleared lot with a cabin dropped on it. A 30×50-foot insulated equipment
storage building with roll-up doors at each end handles gear, ATVs, and other equipment. A separate shed built for tractors, implements, and trailers
includes a dedicated walk-in cooler for storing harvested game, the kind of
setup that matters when you are stacking deer during the rut or running several
hunters through a multi-day camp. The property currently holds agricultural
exemption status, which carries meaningful tax advantages for the incoming
owner.

Loblolly Pine Plantation | 150 Acres of Timber Value

Four stands of mature Loblolly Pine cover approximately 150
acres of the property. The timber carries real commercial value — pulpwood,
sawtimber, and utility pole markets all draw from well-stocked East Texas
plantation stands. For hunters, these same stands provide dense thermal cover,
solid bedding areas, and natural travel corridors connecting the hardwood
bottoms to the open fields.

Big Sandy, Texas | Between Dallas and Shreveport on Highway 80

The Getaway sits on US Highway 80 at Big Sandy, Texas, roughly
halfway between Dallas and Shreveport — a location that makes this ranch
genuinely accessible for buyers coming from multiple directions. Big Sandy
provides immediate access to fuel, supplies, and services, while Tyler and
Longview offer full-service medical facilities, retail, major grocery, and
dining within a short drive. The surrounding East Texas Pineywoods region
supports a strong hunting and outdoor culture, with TPWD-managed wildlife resources,
nearby access to Lake O’ The Pines, Caddo Lake, and Sam Rayburn Reservoir, and
a well-established community of landowners committed to serious wildlife
management.

Who Should Be Looking at The Getaway

This property is built for the hunter who wants a camp that is
already set up and producing, not a project. The infrastructure is in place,
the wildlife habitat is established, and the track record on whitetail,
waterfowl, and hog hunting is documented. The Sabine River frontage adds
long-term recreational value that is increasingly difficult to find in East
Texas at any acreage. Investors looking for a combination of recreational land,
agricultural exemption, and standing timber value will find multiple income and
use layers here. Buyers looking for a multi-generational hunting property that
can be used immediately while holding its value will not find a setup like this
assembled in one place very often.
