Bear Creek Ranch – Hunter’s Retreat with Home & Shop Set back in the quiet Mixon community of northern Cherokee County, within Troup ISD. Bear Creek Ranch spans 36.91 acres of rare East Texas hunting ground. The 2-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home provides 1,640 sq. ft. of warm, functional living space, wrapped in a rock-and-metal exterior that settles naturally into the surrounding timber and gently rolling terrain. Bear Creek winds along the back of the property, watering the land and pulling in whitetails, hogs, and an array of East Texas wildlife. Backed by larger ranches and offering 600 feet of frontage on County Road 4910, this property delivers the rare combination of easy access and deep, quiet seclusion. The land is rich with character, towering hardwoods, cool creek bottoms, twisting draws, and a tucked-away slough that gives wildlife room to bed, feed, and roam. It’s the kind of ground hunters appreciate: varied, natural habitat with plenty of cover and movement. Inside, the home is clean, bright, and welcoming, featuring tile floors, neutral tones, and an open layout that keeps the outdoors within view. The home was thoughtfully constructed of 2x6 wall for added durability and insulation keeping the elements out. From the back room, look across the timber and catch steady deer traffic, or step outside and carve your own trails for hunting, ATV riding, or exploring. The area around the home is thoughtfully landscaped with mature trees, lush plantings, and garden areas for those who enjoy tending the land. A 1,200 sq. ft. shop stands beside the home perfect for equipment, tools, projects, or even a future bunkhouse conversion. A separate tractor shed and implement area sit away from the home, keeping gear organized without interrupting the natural setting. Whether you’re after a weekend hideaway, a true hunting base camp, or a quiet rural homestead, Bear Creek Ranch brings together rustic charm, privacy, and East Texas outdoor living at its finest.
