The Poole Ranch is a 200± acre estate off Highway 155 near Avinger, within the Avinger ISD school district. Hunting land, planted pine timber, wildlife-managed pasture, a private lake, and a 3,202-square-foot brick, stone, and cedar home come together on one of the Piney Woods' most complete rural properties. Land buyers, sportsmen, and timber investors will each find a turnkey estate built for independence and everyday enjoyment.
Roughly a half-mile of pipe fence lines the Highway 155 frontage, framing one of the county's most distinguished addresses. A gated entry opens to a half-mile paved drive that winds through the woods, where white-tailed deer and wild turkey are a common sight on the way in.
Built in 1992, the residence offers three bedrooms, three full baths, and a half bath across 3,202 square feet. Solid interior doors, fully insulated interior walls for sound control and efficiency, an attached climate-controlled three-car garage, multiple porches, and a utility room make the house move-in ready. A two-inch water line feeds the home, and an aeration septic system plus a nine-zone irrigation sprinkler serve the grounds.
This property is engineered to run on its own. A 100KW diesel generator driven by an 85-horsepower John Deere engine backs up the entire compound, while three deep wells, each drilled to 225 feet with a 5-horsepower motor, supply water, two of them dedicated to holding the lake level through drought. Lightning rods protect the house, wellhouse, and shop. A 2,400-square-foot climate-controlled steel shop with 12-foot doors, plumbed air, a mini-split, and a loft anchors the working compound, joined by roughly 2,960 additional square feet of steel equipment sheds and canopy, a storm shelter, and a fuel tank. Tools are negotiable.
A private lake sits at the center of it all, a fishing hole and a magnet for game that few tracts in the region can match.
The acreage is a managed mosaic: income-producing planted pine, natural pine-and-hardwood stands, and open pasture kept for wildlife rather than livestock. The pine plantation carries real, growing value in an active market, while the mixed stands and food-plot-style pastures give deer, turkey, and other native game the browse and edge habitat they rely on year-round.
Deer and turkey are seen often here, not just in season. Multiple blinds and feeders are already in place, and fourteen security cameras, all monitorable by phone, let you watch game and manage the property from anywhere. Set in a corner of Northeast Texas long known for trophy whitetail, this is a rare, ready-to-hunt setup. Stands and feeders are negotiable.
The property sits at 9000 Highway 155, Avinger, TX 75630, with direct highway frontage and all-weather access that never costs it any privacy. Lake O' the Pines, boating, fishing, and lakeside camping, is just minutes away, and the historic riverport town of Jefferson, storied Caddo Lake, and Daingerfield State Park are all short drives. Linden and Atlanta sit close by, with Texarkana and Shreveport within easy reach. Acreage of this caliber in the area does not stay on the market long.
