The Getaway is a convergence of land, water, and wildlife that serious hunters and recreational land buyers spend years searching for. Positioned near US Highway 80 between Dallas and Shreveport, this 863-acre property in Upshur and Wood counties carries nearly two miles of Sabine River frontage, 2.5 miles of Rogers Creek running through the interior, hardwood bottoms stacked with deer, sloughs that hold birds when the migration pushes through, and approximately 150 acres of mature Loblolly Pine plantation that adds both timber value and thick, thermal cover. Five pipeline right-of-ways cut natural shooting lanes through the property. Multiple established shooting houses are already in place. The infrastructure is built. The habitat is dialed in. You show up, hang your coat, and hunt. Whitetail Deer Hunting | 180-Class Bucks Harvested on This Property The hardwood bottoms and creek drainages at The Getaway hold the kind of whitetail hunting that keeps serious deer hunters coming back season after season. The canopy is a mix of Post Oak, Willow Oak, Water Oak, Red Oak, Cherry Bark Oak, Shumard Red Oak, Black Hickory, and Black Gum, mature mast producers that draw deer out of the timber and into range during the rut and early season. Rogers Creek and the Sabine River corridor create natural travel routes that concentrate deer movement and make patterning big bucks a matter of patience, not luck. The property’s track record speaks for itself. 180-class whitetails have been harvested here. Five pipeline right-of-ways function as ready-made shooting lanes and food plot candidates. Multiple shooting houses are in position and ready to hunt. The Getaway has the genetics, the habitat, and the pressure history to produce mature bucks. It does not need a rebuild; it needs new boots! Duck Hunting on Sloughs, Flooded Timber, and Sabine River Bottoms When the migration stacks up in East Texas, The Getaway becomes a different kind of place entirely. The sloughs are loaded with Duckweed and Smartweed and ringed by timber that pins birds and keeps them working. Flooded timber and creek bottoms along Rogers Creek and the Sabine produce the kind of natural habitat that holds puddle ducks throughout the season; no pumps, no artificial flooding, just the land working the way it was designed to work. Wood Ducks, Teal, Mallard, and other puddle ducks have been taken here in past seasons. Cleared roads and interior trails provide direct access to every duck hunting area on the property without walking out at dark in knee-deep water. Sabine River Fishing | Bass, Catfish, Crappie, and Alligator Gar The Sabine River, which runs along the property boundary, is a working East Texas river fishery, not a supplemental amenity. Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Channel Catfish, Flathead Catfish, Blue Catfish, Bream, Buffalo, Carp, and Alligator Gar all inhabit the river. Rogers Creek adds additional holding water inside the property. Whether you are running lines, throwing a topwater at first light, or fly fishing the creek edges during summer, the water at The Getaway fishes hard across multiple species and seasons without leaving the property. For the angler who wants a base camp with serious river access, the combination of Sabine frontage and interior creek mileage makes this property a compelling setup. Hog Hunting, Small Game, and Year-Round Opportunities The Getaway does not go quiet between deer and duck seasons. Wild hogs are active throughout the property, and the creek bottoms and pine thickets provide exactly the kind of rooting, denning, and travel cover that keeps populations moving and huntable year-round. Bobcats, Coyotes, and Squirrels round out the small game and predator opportunities. The diverse habitat, from river bottoms to pine plantations to open fields, supports a full rotation of hunting activity from archery season through late winter, with hogs bridging every gap in between. Camp Headquarters | Furnished Cabin, Equipment Storage, and Walk-In Cooler The camp infrastructure at The Getaway was built for working hunters, not weekend glampers. Camp Headquarters includes a fully furnished cabin with one private bedroom, a large bunkroom, bathroom, kitchen, and a living and gathering area with a front porch. Every piece of furniture conveys. Utilities are established; Big Sandy City Water and Upshur County Rural Electric are already in place, backed by conventional septic. The support buildings are what separate this camp from a cleared lot with a cabin dropped on it. A 30×50-foot insulated equipment storage building with roll-up doors at each end handles gear, ATVs, and other equipment. A separate shed built for tractors, implements, and trailers includes a dedicated walk-in cooler for storing harvested game, the kind of setup that matters when you are stacking deer during the rut or running several hunters through a multi-day camp. The property currently holds agricultural exemption status, which carries meaningful tax advantages for the incoming owner. Loblolly Pine Plantation | 150 Acres of Timber Value Four stands of mature Loblolly Pine cover approximately 150 acres of the property. The timber carries real commercial value — pulpwood, sawtimber, and utility pole markets all draw from well-stocked East Texas plantation stands. For hunters, these same stands provide dense thermal cover, solid bedding areas, and natural travel corridors connecting the hardwood bottoms to the open fields. Big Sandy, Texas | Between Dallas and Shreveport on Highway 80 The Getaway sits on US Highway 80 at Big Sandy, Texas, roughly halfway between Dallas and Shreveport — a location that makes this ranch genuinely accessible for buyers coming from multiple directions. Big Sandy provides immediate access to fuel, supplies, and services, while Tyler and Longview offer full-service medical facilities, retail, major grocery, and dining within a short drive. The surrounding East Texas Pineywoods region supports a strong hunting and outdoor culture, with TPWD-managed wildlife resources, nearby access to Lake O’ The Pines, Caddo Lake, and Sam Rayburn Reservoir, and a well-established community of landowners committed to serious wildlife management.

Property Description: TYJ Ranch is a unique and versatile offering in Gilmer, Texas, located two hours east of Dallas. This beautiful and productive land is ideal for grazing cattle, hunting, and fishing. Situated on a quiet county road, the property features an all-weather rock entrance road leading to a well-appointed 3,500 sq. ft., one-bedroom, one-bath barndominium with living room, kitchen and ample shop space. The front porch overlooks a pond and a large food plot, providing the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while observing deer and other wildlife. The ranch boasts a well-balanced mix of improved and native pastures, spring-fed creeks lined with giant hardwoods, mature timber stands, planted pine trees, and abundant water resources. Its rolling topography offers stunning views, multiple building sites for a main house or lodge, and excellent opportunities for wildlife habitat development and land stewardship. Location: TYJ Ranch is located between Gilmer and Winnsboro, Texas, in northwest Upshur County. The property is less than two hours east of Dallas, 18 miles southeast of Winnsboro, and 13.2 miles from Gilmer. Positioned just east of the Wood County line, the ranch offers one mile of paved county road frontage on Giraffe Road. The ranch is also located just 8.5 miles from the boat ramp at Lake Gilmer. Terrain: TYJ Ranch is defined by its rolling topography, featuring ridges on both the north and south ends of the property, with Caney Creek Valley running between them. The pastures are ideal for grazing and are sheltered by mature hardwood trees, while bottomland pastures flourish alongside the meandering Caney Creek. The property ranges in elevation from 350 to 430 feet above sea level, with well-drained topography. A portion of the land along Caney Creek lies within the FEMA floodplain. Well-maintained areas with mature timber and excellent tree cover enhance the property, while improved trails provide reliable access throughout the ranch. The blend of open pastures and wooded areas allows for cattle grazing, hunting, trail riding, and hay production. Soils: The ranch features predominantly sandy loam soils, with portions classified as Lilbert and Bowie loamy fine sand. The wooded drainages consist of Cuthbert fine sandy loam, while the creek bottoms lie in mostly Lulus fine sandy loam. With proper lime and fertilizer applications, productivity can be maximized based on soil tests. Without amendments, the native soils do well for growing pine timber and Bermuda grass alike. Water & Fisheries: Water features include seven ponds (0.14–0.77 acres each), a 2.12± acre lake, and a large, scenic 15± acre lake stocked with bass, bluegill, and other fish species. The 15-acre lake offers excellent bass fishing, featuring deep water, standing timber for structure, and shallow flats ideal for springtime spawning. The smaller lake and stock ponds also provide good fishing opportunities. The six strategically placed stock ponds provide water for cattle, livestock, and wildlife. Caney Creek bisects the property for approximately one mile, fed by natural springs and seasonal creeks. Over time, the creek has created natural sloughs and shallow wetlands that attract waterfowl in the fall and winter. These areas could be enhanced through water management and habitat improvements. Wildlife: The ranch showcases a diverse habitat with managed and native hardwood stands, supporting abundant wildlife. Timber varieties include red and white oaks, pecan, sycamore, black gum, hickory, dogwood, pine, cedar, persimmon, with willow, water oak, and river birch along riparian areas. The property features a mosaic of native and improved pastures, creating a rich habitat for wildlife. The property has been lightly hunted by the family, preserving its excellent wildlife habitat. The stock ponds and lakes attract large numbers of waterfowl, making for outstanding duck hunting. Several areas along Caney Creek are well-suited for wetland development to further attract waterfowl. The ranch supports a thriving native deer population, with scattered oak motts creating a natural transition between feeding and bedding areas. Other wildlife includes hogs, coyotes, varmints, migratory ducks, geese, and doves, offering diverse hunting opportunities. Food Plots: Several areas on the ranch can be easily converted into warm- and cool-season wildlife food plots with minimal effort. These plots would require plowing, planting, and possibly fencing to protect crops from overgrazing. The land is mostly clear, with sandy loam soils that support productive planting. Cattle: The grazing rights are currently leased to a neighboring landowner with a similar-sized property and additional adjacent grazing land. Although no hay production is currently underway, the potential exists. The grazing tenant estimates the land can support approximately 60 animal units under normal conditions. Pastures: The ranch consists of approximately six pastures, featuring a mix of coastal Bermuda and native grasses. This diverse landscape includes improved pastures, native timber, creeks, and uplands. Fences and Pens: The perimeter fencing is in good condition, while interior fencing is in fair to good condition. There are working pens located in the north and south-central portions of the ranch. Two pens are in use, while one requires maintenance. Access: The ranch is easily accessible via paved county road, with an extensive internal road and trail system allowing for easy travel throughout the property. Main Home: A 50x70-foot, 3,500 sq. ft. barndominium, constructed in 2020, sits between two scenic ponds. It includes one bathroom, one bedroom, a kitchen, and a living area, making it an ideal future guest home. Barns: The property includes an equipment barn and a commodity barn, both in fair but functional condition. They provide ample storage for boats, ATVs, hunting blinds, tools, tractors, and other equipment. Easements: The ranch has one gas line easement in the northeast corner and an electrical easement supplying power to the barndominium. Utilities: Water- Sharon Water Supply provides water to the area, with a water line along Giraffe Road and meters available. Groundwater- The Corrizo-Wilcox aquifer is the primary groundwater source in the area. Electricity- Upshur Rural Electric Cooperative supplies power to the property. Minerals: The owner does not believe they own any mineral rights and will not reserve any minerals in the sale. To our knowledge, there are no O&G leases or active production on the property. Taxes: The property is agriculturally exempt. 2024 property taxes were $3,306.95. School District: The property is located within both the Harmony School District and the Union Hill School District.
