Bowie County, TX - 468 ± Acres
Description
Flyway Lakes Ranch | 468 ± Acres | Bowie County, TX
Days Creek Frontage, Private Lakes & Natural Waterfowl Sloughs | Stateline Rd, Near Texarkana, TX
Flyway Lakes Ranch is a rare 468 ± acre East Texas holding defined by water, wildlife, and proximity to Texarkana. Several distinct water bodies shape the landscape, including a primary lake approaching 25 acres, creating a private recreational setting with significant habitat value. Large tracts this close to a regional hub are increasingly scarce, especially those offering both seclusion and immediate usability.
The Land
The ranch is predominantly wooded in a productive mix of pine and mature hardwoods, with approximately 40 feet of gentle elevation change across the tract. A well-established internal road system provides reliable access throughout, making the property easy to navigate for hunting, land management, or future improvements. Paved frontage along Stateline Road secures convenient year-round entry.
The Habitat
Water drives wildlife, and this property has it in abundance. Multiple lakes, creek frontage, bedding cover, travel corridors, and sanctuary areas support a strong population of whitetail deer, feral hogs, predators, and small game. The surrounding area is known for producing mature bucks, with numerous 160-class Boone & Crockett deer harvested nearby. Positioned within the Mississippi Flyway, the ranch also offers excellent seasonal waterfowl hunting opportunities.
The Water & Waterfowl Potential
Approximately one-third of the tract lies within the 100-year floodplain where Days Creek meanders through fertile bottomland. Existing natural sloughs within this area already provide excellent waterfowl habitat and hunting setups, suitable for both traditional blinds and flooded timber hunting scenarios. These low areas hold seasonal water, concentrate birds, and offer opportunities for enhancement or active management while preserving natural drainage patterns.
The Location
Located just 5.8 miles south of downtown Texarkana, the ranch delivers a rare balance of privacy and convenience. Groceries, medical facilities, restaurants, and services are minutes away, yet the property retains the quiet, rural character expected of a large East Texas landholding. Regional access to Shreveport, Little Rock, and Dallas further strengthens its appeal as a recreational retreat or long-term investment.
The Opportunity
Flyway Lakes Ranch is well suited for a private hunting retreat, family legacy property, timber holding, or future homesite. With utilities nearby, strong groundwater potential, significant surface water, and established waterfowl habitat already in place, the tract offers immediate enjoyment with long-term flexibility.
