Bull Pine Ridge Private Road , Center, TX 75954(Shelby County)

It’s rare to find a piece of land in East Texas that truly stops you in your tracks. This 34-acre tract on Bull Pine Ridge is one of those few. From the moment you step onto the property, it’s clear you’re standing on something different—something wild and special.

This land is a study in contrast and diversity. Roughly half the property is blanketed in a towering forest of ancient hardwoods and pines, some over 100 years old. One pine in particular measures nearly four feet in diameter—one of the largest we’ve ever seen on a privately owned tract.

Running through the middle of the property 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. The topography, flow, and clarity make this a once-in-a-lifetime water feature—a blank canvas to create what many consider the pinnacle feature for private land in Texas: a cool, crystal-clear, spring-fed lake. The high point of the property—and the ideal homesite—is located on the front ~5 acres, offering elevated views of the spring area. Additionally, a picturesque 3–4 ft waterfall flows during wet seasons, adding sound and serenity to the landscape.

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. Its banks are lined with bluffs, cypress knees, ferns, and moss-covered timber—creating an “old-growth” feel that is virtually nonexistent in modern East Texas. A rock slate ridge runs up to the creek, protecting the property from floodplain impacts while maintaining a gentle slope that allows for park-like underbrushing, showcasing the creek like a nature preserve.

The wildlife here is exceptional. A quick map zoom reveals thousands of acres of contiguous timberland across the creek and surrounding countryside. The area's low residential pressure and sparse population contribute to an uncommonly high game population. Game sign is everywhere—from worn trails to creekside bedding areas. Whether you're a hunter or simply want to enjoy watching whitetail deer move through the timber, this tract offers the ecological diversity and natural seclusion that attracts abundant wildlife.

When it comes to location, it doesn’t get much better. The property is tucked away in the quiet, untouched countryside just 10 minutes from Center, TX, and surrounded by large ranches and rolling terrain. It’s only 45 minutes from historic Nacogdoches—the oldest town in Texas—offering college-town energy, cultural charm, and a brick-lined downtown.

Recreational opportunities abound. Toledo Bend Reservoir, a 100,000+ acre destination for world-class fishing and boating, is less than 15 minutes away. The 100,000+ acre Sabine National Forest and the North Toledo Bend Wildlife Management Area are both nearby, with the Sabine River—renowned for duck hunting and catfishing—just eight minutes up the road. This region is a recreational hotbed where you could spend a lifetime and still not run out of things to do.

With power at the road, no floodplain, no restrictions, and access via a newly built, fully rocked private road (Bull Pine Ridge PR) shared with only three other landowners, this tract offers both usability and seclusion.

And perhaps most notably, it’s priced to sell. You’ll be hard-pressed to find land in East Texas with this level of timber, water, topography, and privacy anywhere near this price point.

This is the kind of land people spend decades searching for—a place with untouched natural beauty and the potential to become something truly special. Opportunities like this don’t sit long, so call now and come see it for yourself.
