This 105 ± acre Rusk County ranch home for sale near Overton, Texas pairs move-in-ready living with acreage, creeks, and trails winding through mixed timber and open ground. Wooster Ranch offers the East Texas lifestyle: a quality home already in place, working land for hunting and recreation, and enough acreage to carry an active timber exemption.

105 Acre Rusk County Property Overview 

This 105 ± acre property sits off Wooster Drive, east of New London and within the West Rusk school district. A 2008-built ranch home anchors the land at 3,884 square feet, complemented by a metal outbuilding and workshop and more than two miles of established trails. Three creeks cross the tract — two seasonal and one spring-fed — running through a mix of hardwood and softwood timber over sandy loam soil. The acreage carries an active timber exemption and a level, wooded, irregular layout in the Rusk County piney woods. 

3,884 Square Foot Ranch Home Built In 2008 

This move-in ready home sits on a hill overlooking the land, built in 2008 with a stone and brick exterior, a covered front porch, and a covered back patio. Inside, an open floor plan connects a combined kitchen and eating area to a den with an insert fireplace and gas logs, all within 3,884 square feet. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one-half bathroom give the layout room for family or guests, while a ceiling fan, security system, and smoke alarm round out the everyday comforts. Central electric heating and cooling keep the home comfortable year-round, with on-site LP gas, community water service, and an aerobic septic system. A two-car side-entry garage, a two-car carport, and a concrete driveway complete the setup. 

Wooded Land Terrain And Timber 

The acreage is level with an irregular, wooded layout consistent with the piney woods of Rusk County, Texas. Native grasses cover the open ground between stands of hardwood and softwood timber, and sandy loam soil runs throughout the tract. The land carries electric and pipeline easements along with the active timber exemption already in place — an advantage for owners looking to manage the property’s tax burden while putting the acreage to use. 

Three Creeks And Year-Round Water 

Water is one of this ranch’s defining features. Three creeks cross the property — two seasonal creeks and one spring-fed creek — giving the land both year-round and seasonal water sources across the wooded acreage. The creek corridors add cover, drainage, and visual character to the property, and they’re part of what makes the more than two miles of trails worth exploring on foot, on horseback, or by side-by-side. 

Whitetail Deer Habitat And Trail Access 

The mixed timber and creek support whitetail deer and wild hogs, with cover and water access throughout the property. More than two miles of established trails wind through the wooded ground, suited to walking, horseback riding, or off-road recreation. For hunters and outdoor families alike, the combination of habitat, water, and trail access turns this acreage into a working recreational tract rather than just open land. 

Access Via Wooster Drive 

The property is reached by Wooster Drive, a county-maintained, natural-surface road off Humble Road east of Highway 42 near New London. The home sits about a quarter mile down Wooster Drive from the Humble Road turn, offering a private approach to the land without sacrificing easy access to town. 

Rusk County Location Near Overton And Tyler

Overton offers fuel, groceries, and basic medical services a short drive from the property, while Henderson, the Rusk County seat, adds a wider range of shopping, dining, and the Depot Museum’s restored 1901 railway depot.
