Shelby County - 000 County Road 4686, Tenaha, TX
Looking for a blank canvas in the heart of the Piney Woods? This 17 +/- acre tract on County Road 4686 outside Timpson has cleared acreage, road frontage, and no zoning or restrictions to slow you down. Homestead, hunting camp, or just elbow room, it's priced to move and ready for your vision.
The land was cleared at one point and has since grown back in brush, so it's a mowing job away from being an open home site again. It's partially fenced, and electric is nearby. No water meter on site yet, but community water runs along County Road 4694 (would need an easement across the neighbor to the south). Most buyers out here go the well route.
Quiet and rural, but not off the grid. Center is about 15 miles away, Nacogdoches around 30 minutes, Longview about 45 miles, and Shreveport, Louisiana roughly 75 miles. Tyler runs about an hour and 20 minutes, and Dallas and Houston are both around 3 hours, close enough for a trip, far enough you'll never hear the traffic.
Shelby County is prime East Texas Piney Woods territory for whitetail and hogs, and there is a lot of game sign in this area. Surrounding pine and hardwood cover makes for good natural travel corridors, and the area has a long local hunting tradition.
Lake Murvaul is about 14 miles north. Toledo Bend and Sam Rayburn, two of the South's best bass lakes, are both roughly an hour away.
Bring your plans, your camper, or your deer stand; this tract is ready to be whatever you make of it!

Shelby County - 000 County Road 4789, Timpson, TX
Tucked just outside of Timpson in the heart of Shelby County, this 16 +/- acre tract offers a solid foundation for the buyer with a vision. The property is wooded and private, with a mix of mature hardwoods and younger pines that give it real long-term potential, both as a homesite and as a timber investment down the road. Like most natural East Texas tracts, some light selective clearing would go a long way toward opening up the land and revealing its full character. The bones are here, and with a little work and the right owner, this can turn into something special.
From a utility and access standpoint, this property is well-positioned. Electric service is already available and runs through the tract near where a homesite would naturally lie, and community water is accessible along the road, two infrastructure items that can be surprisingly hard to find on rural acreage at this price point. A small pond sits on the property and could be expanded with some dozer work into a functional fishing pond or wildlife watering hole. With over 900 feet of frontage along CR 4789, getting equipment in is easy, and you'll have plenty of flexibility on where to set your entrance. No known deed restrictions means no one is telling you what to build or how to build it.
The location adds quiet appeal without putting you out in the middle of nowhere. Timpson sits at the junction of US Highway 59, the future Interstate 69, and US Highway 84, so everyday conveniences are close without the noise and congestion that comes with them. Lake Timpson, a reservoir on Blackwater Creek, offers fishing, boating, and picnicking just a short drive away, and the larger towns of Nacogdoches, Center, and Carthage are all within reasonable range for shopping, dining, and medical needs. If you're looking for a workable piece of East Texas land with good utilities, solid frontage, and room to make it your own, this one is worth a look.

The Overlook at Toledo Bend 12.75 Acres - Shelbyville, Texas
Private Toledo Bend Lakefront Estate & Equestrian Retreat
Welcome to 179 CR 2790 in Shelbyville, Texas, a one-of-a-kind 12.75 acre lakefront estate offering an exceptional combination of custom living, waterfront recreation, equestrian improvements, and privacy overlooking beautiful Toledo Bend Lake. Perched on an elevated homesite with sweeping views of the water, the property features a 2,076 square-foot custom 3-bedroom, 2-bath home, a renovated 480 square-foot 2-bedroom, 1-bath garage apartment, massive three-car garage, private pond, three-stall horse barn, riding arena, and mature East Texas timber.
The custom home was designed to take full advantage of its incredible setting. A dramatic wall of windows spanning the living and kitchen areas fills the home with natural light and provides panoramic lake views throughout the day. The open-concept living spaces feature beautiful finishes and flow seamlessly to an expansive covered back deck, creating the perfect setting to grill, gather around a fire, entertain friends and family, or simply relax while overlooking the lake.
The private primary suite is thoughtfully positioned on the opposite side of the home from the two guest bedrooms and features a beautifully renovated bathroom. Just off the primary suite is a screened-in porch designed to keep the bugs out while allowing you to enjoy the outdoors, complete with a Hot Spring Beam hot tub overlooking the lake. Recent improvements to the home include new flooring, fresh interior paint, renovated bathrooms, exterior paint, and a replaced deck, creating a move-in-ready property with quality finishes throughout. An integrated propane backup generator provides additional peace of mind.
Just steps from the main residence is a massive three-car garage with a fully renovated 480 square-foot apartment above. The apartment features two bedrooms, one bathroom, a full kitchen, living area, new flooring, fresh paint, and updated finishes, making it ideal for family, guests, or extended stays. The garage also doubles as a private fitness space with a gym and infrared sauna featuring an integrated Bluetooth entertainment system, installed in 2025. Connections have also been installed to accommodate a backup generator for the apartment.
Beyond the residences, the land offers tremendous versatility. The property includes more than 500 feet of Toledo Bend lake frontage, a private pond renovated and expanded in 2024, and a fully fenced yard. Towering mature hardwoods and pines, rolling elevation changes, and the elevated setting overlooking the lake give the property tremendous character and privacy.
For the equestrian enthusiast, the property is exceptionally well equipped with a three-stall horse barn featuring a feed room, tack room, wash bay, and tool/equipment storage, along with a riding arena and pipe-fenced pasture. The barn and pasture fencing were repainted in 2025. A dedicated wood-storage shed and chicken coop add even more functionality to this turnkey country setup.
Adding to the property's unique setting, it borders approximately 300 acres of privately owned forest, which the current owners have been permitted to access for walking and horseback riding, providing miles of additional recreational enjoyment just beyond the property. Any continued access would be subject to the neighboring landowner's permission.

With a well-kept residence, good access, and direct proximity to the Sabine National Forest, this property provides the perfect combination of rural privacy and outdoor opportunity.
Location & Access
Located at 973 County Road 2572, Center, TX 75935 (31.6561, -94.053), this 100 acre property sits in the southern portion of Shelby County, offering quiet seclusion with convenient access to nearby towns and regional destinations. Center, Texas, is approximately 2530 miles northwest, providing access to groceries, dining, and local services. Kingwood and the greater Houston area are roughly 100110 miles to the southwest via US-59, while the DFW Metroplex lies about 200220 miles to the northwest via I-20 and connecting routes. Shreveport, Louisiana, is approximately 120130 miles to the northeast via US-84. The region continues to benefit from ongoing infrastructure improvements, including the I-20 East Texas corridor expansion and the gradual conversion of US-59 into Interstate 69, both enhancing long-term accessibility and travel efficiency throughout East Texas.
Topography, Soils & Vegetation
The property features gently rolling terrain with elevations ranging from about 320 feet to 370 feet above sea level. Roughly 65 acres of improved pasture provide open grazing space, accented by scattered hardwoods and wooded drainages that create visual diversity and shade. The balance of the tract is composed of mature, mixed native timber, including large oaks, white oaks, and bull pines. These wooded areas contribute to the propertys beauty while offering excellent habitat for wildlife and protection from prevailing winds.
Water & Wildlife Features
The propertys most prominent water feature is a scenic, tree-lined pond located in the northern portion of the tract, estimated at just over four acres when full. The pond is sustained in part by several natural springs that flow year-round, helping to maintain consistent water levels while providing reliable sources for livestock and wildlife. Additional springs are scattered across the property in locations that could support the construction of future ponds or small water impoundments. Together, these natural water resources enhance the propertys overall utility and aesthetic appeal, while creating a rich habitat for whitetail deer, hogs, waterfowl, and other native wildlife that thrive in the mix of open pasture and wooded cover.
Fencing, Use & History
The property has good perimeter fencing and cross-fencing suitable for cattle or other livestock operations. Historically, it has been used for cattle grazing, and the established pastures, gentle slopes, and natural water sources make it well-suited for continued agricultural use. The combination of improved grassland, reliable water, and wildlife habitat also gives the property excellent potential as a multi-use ranch or recreational retreat.
Residence & Improvements
A 2,448 square-foot brick veneer residence serves as the main improvement, featuring four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area. The oversized utility room is large enough to function as a home office or bunk room, offering flexibility for extended stays or guests. The home sits in a peaceful setting with views of the surrounding pastures and timber, making it a comfortable and practical base for ranch operations or weekend recreation. There is ample room for additional barns, shops, or livestock facilities on the gently sloping terrain.
Recreation & Surroundings
The property shares boundaries with portions of the Sabine National Forest, which spans more than 160,000 acres of public land across East Texas. This unique adjacency allows convenient access to hunting, hiking, and exploration right out the back gate. Toledo Bend Reservoir, located approximately 12 miles to the east, offers world-class bass fishing, boating, and water recreation. The surrounding Piney Woods landscape provides a peaceful setting for outdoor pursuits while still allowing easy access to nearby amenities in Center and surrounding communities.
Education & Community
The property is located within Shelbyville Independent School District, a small, rural district known for its strong community involvement and supportive environment. Shelbyville ISD maintains a B rating from the Texas Education Agency and serves all grades on a single campus, providing small class sizes and a close-knit atmosphere. The area reflects the values of East Texasfamily, community, and pride in local schools.
