Overview: Hogan Creek Ranch is a beautiful forested property containing eight notable bodies of water. Located in a prime setting just east of Martin Lake, the land has rolling topography, all-weather roads, and well-maintained fences to benefit the future owner. The landscape combines reclaimed land with upland timber, plantation pine, and improved pastures.
Improvements: This meticulously reclaimed expanse of land is ideal for a new landowner seeking a blank canvas to make their own. Nearly 15 miles of maintained roads and trails with gates on both the north and south ends provide convenient, reliable access.
Trees, Grasses, and Forbs: The ranch's fertile, productive soils allow a diverse mix of upland and bottomland hardwoods and plantation pine timber to flourish throughout the property. Different hardwoods include swamp chestnut, white oak, cherry bark oak, burr oak, willow oak, water oak, nuttal, and shumard, among other red oak varieties, sawtooth oak, black walnut, and hickory. Additional species of trees consist of an abundance of loblolly pines, bald cypress in wetland areas, and a mix of willow, dogwoods, sycamore, black and sweet gum, birch, elm, and some cedar. The owner thoughtfully planted the timber in a way that is both productive for each species' growth and beneficial for wildlife. The hardwoods provide contiguous travel corridors for deer, and the pines offer aesthetics and future income. The ranch has over 335+/- acres of plantation pine and nearly 400+/- acres of hardwoods, most of which exceed 20+ years of age, providing the landowner with a future source of income.
Heavy tree cover adds significant recreational value while affording the landowner privacy and increased aesthetic appeal.
Found across the ranch is just under 100 acres of Coastal Bermuda and native grass pastures. Improved pastures with thriving grass, some fencing, and cross-fencing are suitable for future livestock and hay production. Some open areas are heavier in native grasses, providing cover and natural food sources for wildlife.
Water: The ranch has eight bodies of water totaling approximately 35 +/- acres. The ponds are of various sizes, ranging from 1.0 +/- acres to 9.7 +/- acres. Streams and channels also run across over 8 +/- miles of the ranch, connecting to multiple ponds. These high-quality bodies of water provide support for both livestock and wildlife alike and offer the landowner an abundance of hunting and
fishing opportunities.
Topography: Hogan Creek Ranch exemplifies rolling topography with minimal floodplain yielding approximately 170 feet of elevation change. The highest elevation on the property is just above 440 ASL, gently sloping down to just below 270 ASL on the north end.
Wildlife and Fisheries: The seller has not permitted hunting for the last 50+/- years, fostering the feel of a wildlife sanctuary. The ranch holds abundant wildlife with excellent hunting potential for waterfowl, deer, dove, and varmints. This section of Panola County is known for the higher populations of whitetail deer. The quality bodies of water and fertile wetlands allow a pristine habitat for migratory ducks in the fall and winter. Most bodies of water also allow for a great fishing experience.
