Small Acreage Mixed Hardwood and Pine Timber for Sale Near Troup TX | Smith County
Homesite Potential

This 14.28-acre
tract near Troup, TX, on County Road 2160 in Smith County presents an
accessible entry point for buyers seeking timbered acreage with immediate
homesite potential and long-term tax advantages. The property carries a
productive mix of native hardwoods and pine timber, with an established
electric line already serving the frontage—eliminating one of the most

Homesite
Flexibility with Texas Timber Tax Valuation Benefits

The tract’s
configuration allows for a practical division of use: a selected homesite for a
primary residence, weekend cabin, or family retreat, while the remaining
acreage continues under timber production. This arrangement preserves
eligibility for Texas timber special valuation, keeping annual property taxes
substantially below what the land would otherwise generate at market value. For
buyers who want to live in the country without sacrificing the tax benefits of
productive land, this property offers that balance.

Direct
County Road Access and Diverse Forest Management Options

hardwoods—offers flexibility in future forest management decisions. Soil types
in this portion of Smith County typically support both pine and hardwood
regeneration, allowing the next owner to manage toward specific timber or
wildlife objectives as they see fit.
