, Carthage, TX Texas - Panola County

HUNTER'S HIDEAWAY is 151 +/- acres located South of Carthage in Panola County. A deer and duck hunter's paradise with wetland habitats including dense bottomland hardwoods, emergent wetlands, sloughs and over 1,500+/- feet of Nail Creek frontage. The property consists of a 10+/- acre duck marsh, 80+/- acres of bottomland hardwoods and 40+/- acres of upland forest habitat. The waterfowl habitat has been enhanced through the construction of a duck marsh with a water-control structure which allows for the manipulation of the depth of water levels. The majority of the wetland improvements were conducted through the USDA Wetlands Reserve Program in cooperation with Ducks Unlimited. The diversity of wetlands results in an environment that attracts puddle ducks as well as diving ducks with mallards, wood-ducks, gadwalls, teal, widgeon, shovelers, scaup, pintail and many others present. In addition to waterfowl, an array of opportunities is present for the active sportsman. The property is located in an area abundant and managed for quality white-tailed. There is also no shortage of year-round big-game hunting options with wild hogs with plenty of shooting lanes. The current management strategies combined with the topographic relief and plant communities also attract a diverse spectrum of wildlife species that includes migrating bald eagles, river otters, and most of the animal and bird life indigenous to East Texas. The property also includes about 18 acres of 10-year old improved pine plantation which further enhances the investment potential and ecological diversity of the property. Annual Conservation Reserve Program payments of $39.00 per acre are present with a possible extension available. An internal road system greatly enhances the owner's ability to easily utilize the property during the all important winter months. The physical location of this amazing waterfowl enhancement project is not a random act. The site occurs approximately 5 miles west of the intersection of Murvaul Creek and the Sabine River, which places the property 18 miles northwest of the 180,000 acre Toledo Bend Reservoir and 7 miles due east of Lake Murvaul. Accordingly, the property is situated 22 miles from the associated 3600-acre North Toledo Bend Wildlife Management Area and 4 miles west of the 7000-acre Upper Toledo Bend Wildlife Management Area.
