8124 Locust Rd, Gilmer, TX 75645

Located in beautiful Upshur County, this +-126-acre ranch just outside Gilmer, Texas offers the ultimate East Texas lifestyle for hunters, ranchers, and outdoor lovers alike. Fully perimeter fenced and cross-fenced, the property is set up for your cattle operation with functional working pens already in place. Open pastureland mixes naturally with thick timber, featuring mature oaks and scattered pines that create ideal habitat and scenery. Wander into the timber, and you'll discover a stunning hidden pond that feels like something out of a postcard. This secluded watering hole isn’t visible from aerials, but once you’re in the woods, the trees open up to reveal calm water surrounded by standing timber. It’s a favorite spot for both deer and ducks, and a peaceful place to cast a line or set up a stand. The owners say it’s one of their favorite parts of the property—a true gem for hunting, fishing, or just soaking in the quiet. An older brick home, built in 1995 and approximately 2,000 square feet, sits tucked back off the road for maximum privacy. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has been extremely well maintained and includes a screened-in porch that’s perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while the sun rises through the trees. Owners say they’ll miss watching the deer graze at first light and hearing nothing but the wind in the pines. Additional improvements include a carport-shop wired with electricity and large covered storage for tractors or equipment. A gated entrance opens to a long driveway winding through rolling topography, leading to a peaceful and secluded homestead. This is a quiet, desirable part of the county—off the beaten path but just 15 minutes from Gilmer, 10 minutes from Gladewater, and 30 minutes from Longview. This property checks all the boxes: space to raise animals, hunt, fish, or just relax in nature. Whether you're a full-time rancher or weekend outdoorsman, you'll appreciate the versatility and comfort this East Texas property offers.
