Acreage Active Under Contract

Nestled just south of the city of Rusk, this 95.51+- ac property offers a rare blend of scenic elevation, rolling pastures, mature mixed timber, and year-round water. With a diverse landscape anchored by a central ridge, hardwood canopies, and sweeping views, this property is ideal for a variety of recreational, residential, or agricultural uses.
The property features gently rolling to dramatic terrain, with elevations ranging from approximately 410' to 500' ASL. A prominent north-south ridge forms the backbone of the tract, sloping down on both the eastern and western sides. On the east, terrain drops to One Eye Creek--a strong-flowing, year-round watercourse that provides a natural boundary. To the west, elevation declines toward a shared 4.3-ac pond, with approximately 2.2 ac of surface area located on this tract. Note: the pond's spillway exhibits significant erosion and will require repairs if desired.
Approximately 48 ac are in open pasture, with 16 ac of improved hay pasture situated along the upper elevations near the entrance. The remaining ~32 ac of pasture are tucked into three secluded meadows along the eastern slopes, bordered by timber and offering excellent edge habitat. These pastures are framed by dense timber, creating scenic corridors and high aesthetic value.
A residence, located near the southern boundary, appears to have been originally constructed in the 1980s and is reported to offer just under 2,500+- square feet of GLA. It includes 4 bedrooms, 2baths, a large open living-kitchen area, dining room, and office. Following a frozen pipe incident and subsequent water leak, the home was professionally remediated and fully gutted. It now offers a solid shell for renovation or removal, depending on a buyer's vision.
This property represents a rare opportunity to own a tract of land that offers not only strong natural beauty and varied terrain, but also the flexibility to finish the improvements to your exact needs.
