White Oak Ranch is a 119-acre timber and recreational tract in Smith County, Texas, located along County Road 246 and Jamestown Road east of Tyler and north of Arp. The property carries roughly 95 percent mixed hardwood and pine timber. Community water and electric service are available at the road, and the tract currently qualifies for an agricultural tax exemption. Buyers researching Smith County land for sale will find a timber tract with established recreational infrastructure. NOTE: The property video is flagged as AI due to the inclusion of a pond rendering, which is the only AI-generated content in the video. Land & Terrain The topography rolls across the property, ranging from 470 feet above sea level in the northeast corner to 560 feet in the southwest corner. That elevation change gives the tract natural drainage and varied terrain rather than flat, uniform ground. Soil is sandy loam, and native grasses cover the open areas between timber stands. The southwest corner sits at the property's high point, with utilities already available at the road, making it a practical building site for a future home or cabin. Water Features Water is one of this property's strongest assets. A spring-fed pond of approximately one acre is already stocked with catfish, and creeks run through the tract alongside multiple hardwood drainages fed by natural springs. One of those drainages has the topography to support an additional pond of roughly six acres, giving a future owner room to expand the water features already established here (see property video for illustrative rendering of proposed second pond). For buyers asking whether there is water on the property, the answer is yes: a stocked pond, creeks, and several spring-fed drainages. Timber & Wildlife Timber covers approximately 95 percent of the 119 acres in a mixed hardwood and pine stand. Native hardwoods include white oak, southern red oak, water oak, hickory, persimmon, hollytree, dogwood, sweetgum, post oak, and green ash, growing alongside loblolly and shortleaf pine. That species diversity supports East Texas whitetail deer, feral hogs, and waterfowl drawn to the pond and creek drainages. More than three miles of established ATV and UTV trails run throughout the property, giving hunters and recreational users existing access to the timber, water features, and drainages without having to cut new roads. The tract is best viewed by ATV or UTV given its size and trail-based access. Access & Infrastructure Two gates open onto County Road 246, a dirt, county-maintained road, providing the tract's primary entry points. The property also has frontage along Jamestown Road on its east side, though that boundary carries no entrance and functions as a secondary frontage rather than an access point. Fencing is partial, and there are no existing outbuildings on the property. Electric service is available at the road, and water is supplied through a community system, both of which support future development at the southwest homesite or cabin location without requiring a well or extensive utility buildout. County & Tax Considerations White Oak Ranch is located in Smith County and lies within the boundaries of both Chapel Hill and Arp Independent School Districts. The property currently carries an agricultural tax exemption. Buyers should confirm exemption transfer requirements with the county appraisal district as part of due diligence. Taken together, the pond, the trail network, and the buildable high ground in the southwest corner give this tract both immediate recreational value and a clear path toward future development, while the timber stand and existing exemption support its function as a working piece of East Texas land.

A quarter mile of paved road frontage. A natural spring. Hardwood canopy you won't replant in a lifetime. King Farm sits two miles east of Bullard on FM 344, offering 31.738 acres of Smith County land; a tract built for the buyer ready to run cattle or horses on ground with real bones, or for the sportsman who wants a weekend place close enough to Tyler to use every Friday night. Property Details: 31.738 Acres with Road Frontage, Spring Water, and Hardwood Canopy This farm and ranch tract spans 31.738 acres with approximately one-quarter mile of frontage along FM 344 E, giving the property both accessibility and multiple potential home site positions. The landscape moves from flat open pasture into gently rolling terrain that climbs to a distinct hilltop, a natural building pad with long views across the surrounding countryside. Massive scattered hardwoods stand throughout the tract, the kind of canopy that took a century to grow and can never be rushed back. Improved grasses cover the open ground, and sandy loam soil underfoot keeps drainage honest and root systems happy. A working barbed-wire fence is in place, and a pond adds a second surface-water feature to complement the spring. The property currently carries an agricultural exemption, which keeps annual taxes manageable and provides a meaningful advantage for buyers planning to continue a cattle or hay operation. Families considering a home site will appreciate that this address falls within the Bullard Independent School District, a TEA-rated district consistently recognized among the stronger rural systems in East Texas, with Bullard High School ranked in the top tier of Texas high schools. Natural Spring and Pond: Water for Livestock and Wildlife A natural spring feeds the north corner of the tract, creating a year-round water source that doesn't rely on pumps, wells, or rainfall alone. In East Texas ranching, spring water is the feature buyers recognize immediately and sellers rarely offer. Combined with the existing pond, the tract carries two separate water sources before a single well is drilled, which is a significant advantage for cattle operations, horse turnout, or wildlife management. The spring sits in the hardwood bottom, where the shade and steady moisture hold whitetails through summer and pull them in consistently in fall. Utilities and Infrastructure: Municipal Water and Electric at the Road A large municipal waterline runs along FM 344 at the county road boundary, and electrical service is available at the road as well. That combination of public water, grid power, and paved frontage removes the three largest infrastructure headaches that typically price rural acreage buyers out of a project. Cattle, Horses, and Improved Grasses on Sandy Loam The open portions of the property are already in improved grasses over sandy loam soil, ready to support a small cow-calf operation, stocker program, or horse turnout the day a buyer closes. The rolling topography provides natural drainage, and the existing barbed-wire fence gives a working structure to build from. Hardwood shade is scattered throughout the open ground, giving livestock natural relief during East Texas summers, a feature worth real money when you're trying to keep body condition on cattle in August. The agricultural exemption reflects the tract's active ag use and transfers significant value to the next owner who continues the operation. Whitetail Deer and Recreational Use Near Bullard White-tailed deer filter through the hardwood bottom, moving between the spring, the pond, and the adjoining country. For a recreational buyer, 31.738 acres is a manageable size to hunt, manage, and improve. The hardwood canopy provides mast production and bedding cover; the open pasture gives you shooting lanes and food plot opportunities; the spring and pond pull deer. It's a property where a weekend owner can genuinely pattern movement and see results from a modest management effort. Location: Two Miles from Bullard, 15 Miles South of Tyler King Farm sits on the FM 344 corridor in southern Smith County, an area shaped by the same agricultural heritage, cotton, fruit, cattle, and timber that built Bullard in the 1880s along the Kansas and Gulf Short Line Railroad. The town still anchors the corridor with the Bullard History Museum downtown, the American Freedom Museum at Brook Hill School, and the historic Dewberry Plantation nearby. Just down the road from the property sits Kiepersol, a 63-acre estate vineyard, distillery, and TripAdvisor's top-rated restaurant in Tyler, putting one of East Texas's most recognized destinations less than a short drive from the front gate. Tyler itself, 15 miles north, offers full-service shopping, medical care including UT Health East Texas, Tyler State Park, Caldwell Zoo, and the annual Texas Rose Festival.
