Location: County Road 3527, Saltillo, Texas (16 miles East of Sulphur Springs, Hopkins County, TX)
New Survey Date: July 25, 2025
White Oak Creek is a rare 525.08-acre surveyed tract that combines natural beauty, abundant water resources, and diverse recreational opportunities. Located just 2.5 miles from Interstate 30 and less than two hours from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, this property offers both privacy and convenient access. It is also near popular outdoor destinations like Cooper Lake State Park and Lake Fork, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts and investors alike. The property is partially fenced, adding functionality for livestock management or boundary security.
The property is defined by White Oak Creek, which runs southwest to northeast, providing a year-round water source that supports a rich ecosystem. A centerpiece of the land is a beautiful 6-acre private lake, highly suitable for waterfowl habitat. Its shallow edges, surrounding cover, and proximity to wetlands make it a prime location for migratory ducks and geese. This, combined with six additional ponds, creates an excellent habitat for waterfowl, fish, deer, turkey, and wild hogs.
The mix of open meadows, mature hardwoods, and reliable water sources fosters a thriving environment for diverse wildlife, supporting multi-species hunting and year-round wildlife viewing. The property has a history of being leased for hunting, underscoring its strong potential as a recreational retreat.
A network of established trails winds throughout the property, providing excellent access for hunting, ATV riding, hiking, and horseback riding. The East Gate entrance offers secure and direct access via a paved and gravel county road just 2.5 miles from Interstate 30, ensuring convenient year-round travel.
Electricity is available via overhead power lines that run northeast to southwest across the front of the property. An existing transformer near the Rustic Livestock Shade Shelter provides a convenient access point for extending power to homesites or recreational buildings. A storage container located northeast of the entrance offers convenient storage for gear and equipment.
Water service is available for future homesites; however, extending the waterline to the property will require additional investment. Interested parties should contact Brinker Water Supply Corporation in Sulphur Springs for more information and connection estimates.
Sellers will convey mineral rights, if any, providing an added layer of value to the property.
According to FEMA maps, portions of the property lie within a designated floodplain. This status enhances the wetland and waterfowl habitat but may influence building site selection, permitting, and insurance requirements. Buyers should evaluate floodplain factors carefully when planning any development or improvements.
The property holds an agricultural tax valuation, keeping annual taxes low. Ideal for a 1031 Exchange, recreational retreat, hay operation, or land investment. Potential also exists for CRP enrollment for landowners and agricultural producers.
20 minutes from Sulphur Springs (dining, shopping, healthcare, and schools)
15 minutes from Cooper Lake State Park (camping, boating, hiking, horseback riding)
About 1 hour from Lake Fork (nationally renowned bass fishing)
Less than 2 hours from the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex (ideal for weekend retreats or longer stays)
White Oak Creek is well-suited for multi-species and waterfowl hunting retreats, hay production or light agricultural operations, recreational family compounds, hunting leases for supplemental income, and potential enrollment in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) to generate annual income and reduce tax liability. Its combination of recreational value, partial fencing, and strategic location also makes it an excellent fit for long-term investment, land banking, or a 1031 Exchange.
