East Texas Ranch for Sale Near Brownsboro in Henderson TexasThis 18.72-acre Henderson County ranch for sale is located
at 000 FM 317, Brownsboro, Texas 75756, near the community of Leagueville in
East Texas. The property is within reach of Brownsboro, Athens, Chandler, and
Lake Palestine. It combines a working equestrian setup with grazing land and a
hardwood hunting tract, giving a buyer three distinct uses on a single,
manageable acreage. Henderson County land like this, close to Lake Palestine
and under twenty acres, is an accessible price point among horse owners and
weekend hunters alike.
Improvements & Infrastructure
An 80-by-120-foot arena anchors the property. The current
owner used it to train cutting horses, and the dimensions work equally well for
barrel racing, pole bending, keyhole patterns, or western pleasure work. Solar-charged
lighting is already installed, so evening and early-morning sessions don’t
depend on grid power. A three-stall loafing shed sits next to the arena, gated
for controlled turnout. Together, the arena and shed form a functional base for
anyone running horses on the property now, not after a round of new
construction.
Land & Terrain
The acreage splits evenly between open grassland and
hardwood timber. The open ground includes a hay meadow and grazing pasture with
good grass cover, suited to horses or a small cattle operation. A cross fence
runs roughly through the middle of the property, separating the improved, open
portion from the wooded back section.
Fencing & Perimeter
Fencing exists along the entire cross fence line. Past that
cross fence, perimeter fencing runs only along the west and south boundaries.
Wildlife & Recreation
The rear of the property holds a heavily treed hardwood
bottom, and that timber stand carries wildlife value. Whitetail deer and feral
hogs both use the bottom, along with smaller varmints common to East Texas
hardwood cover. For a buyer who wants to hunt on the same ground where the
horses are kept, that dual use is built into the property rather than added on.
Water & Utilities
Community water is already on the property, and electrical
service is available at the site. Having both utilities in place removes two of
the most common holdups on rural acreage this size.
Access & Location
Leagueville sits at the center of a short list of East Texas
towns worth noting for day-to-day life and horse hauling alike. Brownsboro and
Chandler are both close by, Athens offers a fuller range of services, and Lake
Palestine is within reach for boating or fishing on days off. For a buyer
weighing horse land near Athens, Texas against larger, less improved tracts,
the combination of a lit arena, a loafing shed, fenced cross-division,
community water, and available electric on under twenty acres is not something
every listing at this price point offers together.
At 18.72 acres, this Henderson County land works as a
self-contained horse operation, a small grazing tract, or a hunting retreat
with hardwood cover already established. The mix of open pasture and timber,
paired with existing arena infrastructure, gives a buyer flexibility that raw
acreage alone does not provide.
