This 32.208-acre property at 2162 CR 174 in Overton, Texas, delivers productive hay fields, established pastures ready for cattle or horses, and fertile soils that have supported agricultural operations for generations. The rolling terrain creates natural drainage while maximizing usable acreage for grazing, hay production, or row crops. This East Texas ranchette offers immediate agricultural income potential with the infrastructure already in place to start working the land.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Wooded drainages lined with oak, hickory, and pine characteristic of the Piney Woods ecoregion provide excellent whitetail deer and wild hog habitat. These mature stands offer shade for livestock during East Texas summers, natural privacy screening from neighboring properties, and a sustainable timber resource. The mix of open pasture and forested bottomland supports healthy populations of whitetail deer, wild hogs, and small game including squirrel, rabbit, and dove.<\/p>\n
The 0.15-acre stock tank provides reliable water for cattle and horses while attracting wildlife year-round. This asset eliminates the significant expense of drilling a well or building new water features, and the established pond supports the property’s hunting and outdoor recreation appeal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Electricity, water service, and a conventional septic system are already in place. This infrastructure represents thousands of dollars in savings compared to raw land purchases and removes the permitting delays and contractor scheduling that can push move-in timelines out by months. Buyers can focus resources on improvements rather than basic utility installation.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The existing home offers a practical path to country living without new construction timelines. Modest updates transform this structure into a functional residence, or use it as a weekend cabin while planning a custom build elsewhere on the acreage.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The large metal barn accommodates tractors, implements, hay storage, and livestock shelter under one roof. This versatile structure converts easily to a workshop, equipment storage, or agriculture operation headquarters. Finding acreage with a barn this size already constructed significantly reduces startup costs for farming or ranching operations.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The property falls within Kilgore Independent School District, which earned a “B” rating from the Texas Education Agency and maintains a student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 15:1. The district’s Kilgore High School competes in UIL athletics and academics, and students have access to Kilgore College for dual credit and early college opportunities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Overton sits at the crossroads of the Tyler and Longview metropolitan areas, placing this property within easy reach of employment centers, healthcare systems, shopping, and entertainment while maintaining genuine rural character. The town of approximately 2,275 residents traces its roots to 1873 when Major Frank Overton donated land for the original townsite at a railroad junction.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Commuters, weekend ranchers, and investors benefit from this property’s accessibility to major East Texas employment and population centers:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n East Texas offers multiple flight options for business travel and private aviation:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The historic Texas State Railroad operates vintage steam locomotive excursions on a 25-mile route between Rusk and Palestine through the heart of the Piney Woods. This heritage railroad, established in 1883, offers scenic day trips approximately 40 minutes from the property. Martin Creek Lake State Park, located 25 miles east near Tatum, provides fishing, camping, and paddling on a warm-water lake known for year-round bass fishing.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East, covering nearly 5,000 surface acres, lie just west of Overton and serve as the Tyler metropolitan area’s primary water supply while offering excellent recreational fishing. Tyler State Park, with its 64-acre spring-fed lake and CCC-built facilities, provides camping, hiking, and swimming approximately 35 miles from the property.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n Turnkey 32-Acre East Texas Ranchette in Overton \u2013 Hay Fields, Timber, Pond & Barn | Rusk County Land for Sale Productive Hay Fields and Rolling Pastures on 32+ Acres in Rusk County, Texas This 32.208-acre property at 2162 CR 174 in Overton, Texas, delivers productive hay fields, established pastures ready for cattle or horses, and fertile soils that have supported agricultural operations for generations. …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":599554,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","property_category":[8613],"property_action_category":[8828],"property_city":[847],"property_area":[9300],"property_county_state":[13],"property_features":[9865],"property_status":[7302],"class_list":["post-610508","estate_property","type-estate_property","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","property_category-united-states","property_action_category-agricultural","property_city-overton","property_area-rusk","property_county_state-texas","property_features-airport","property_status-pending"],"yoast_head":"\n
