East TX Cattle Ranch & Hunting Land, Marshall Tx For Sale

The TJ Lowe Ranch has for years been one of East Texas high-fence exotic game ranch. Today it operates as a working cattle operation with 164 head of Wagyu and Black Angus/Brangus Cross. The ranch also produced 504 rolls of hay in 2025 alone. The high fence is still in place, and there are 3 lakes on the property. This ranch has 2 homes, working cattle pens, several barns & shops big enough to house large equipment, farm implements and hay.

The Land

At 331.39 acres, the ranch strikes the kind of balance that's hard to engineer and harder to find. Deep green, well-managed pastures open across the property's rolling terrain, broken up by mature, scattered oaks that give it a park-like feel from the air and natural shade cover at ground level. Dense belts of pine, oak, and native hardwood wrap the perimeter and cut through the interior, creating the privacy, thermal cover, and wildlife movement corridors that make this land work for both cattle and deer.

Three small lakes are spread across the property, each holding water reliably through all seasons. The gentle roll of the land naturally feeds water into them, creating long, open pastoral views. At the end of the asphalt road, a potential hilltop homesite sits above it all, offering an elevated vantage point over the ponds and the entire ranch.

Hunting & Wildlife

The ranch's history as a high-fence exotic game operation left its mark in the best possible way. The full perimeter high fence is intact. A small population of Red Stag and Axis deer still call this place home after the exotics operation concluded. The ranch is not currently operated as a hunting property, but everything a new owner would need to run one is already here: the fence, the cover, the water, and five high-fenced paddocks around the barn that once supported herd management are all still intact and functional.

For a buyer who wants to revive a high fence hunting operation in East Texas, this property eliminates most of the startup cost and time.

•         Full perimeter high fence; intact

•         Remnant Red Stag and Axis deer on property

•         5 high-fenced paddocks around the barn; ready for herd management

•         2 automated feed bins with augers

•         Dense timber and lake water; ideal native wildlife habitat

•         Former exotic game ranch pedigree (previously raised zebra and wildebeest)

Hilltop Home Site

The asphalt road doesn't just cut through the ranch; it leads somewhere specific. At the top of one of the prominent hills sits a potential future home site with underground power already run to it. The elevation puts you 30 ft in elevation above the pastures, the timber line, and above everything else within the ranch perimeter.

If a custom home is on your list, the hardest part is already done.

Location

The ranch sits just north of Interstate 20 in Harrison County just southeast of Marshall, Tx. It's Approx. 5.5 miles from Harrison County Airport, making it close enough to major markets to be convenient yet far enough off the road that you'd never know from inside the fence. The timber perimeter provides a natural buffer, and the multiple gated entrances keep access controlled. Dallas, Shreveport, and Tyler are all within reasonable driving distance, and the proximity to the airport make this a realistic option for an owner who wants a working ranch within range of the city.

The Bottom Line

The TJ Lowe Ranch is a proven hay producer, a working cattle ranch, a former exotic game operation with the infrastructure still intact, and a blank canvas for whoever decides what it becomes next. The land is performing. The fence is up. The power is run. The road is paved.

Opportunities like this in East Texas with this much history, this much production, and this much upside, are genuinely rare. If you've been looking for the real thing, this is it.
