Rowley River Ranch – 31 Acres on the Neches River, Bordering Protected Wilderness

Welcome to Rowley River Ranch, a secluded 31-acre riverfront retreat tucked into the rolling hills of Western Cherokee County. Featuring over 1,090 feet of Neches River frontage, this property offers direct access to one of East Texas’ most pristine and protected waterways—bordering the 7,000-acre Neches River National Wildlife Refuge. This federally protected refuge, created in 2006 and formally opened in 2018. Now part of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Refuge System, this vast sanctuary preserves native habitat, wildlife corridors, and unspoiled river ecosystems—ensuring permanent protection for the lands surrounding Rowley River Ranch. The property itself is a nature lover’s paradise, blanketed in towering pines and mature hardwoods and teeming with whitetail deer, wild hogs, waterfowl, and a diverse range of native wildlife. Whether you’re hunting, fishing, hiking, or simply soaking in the silence, this land offers year-round recreational opportunity and total immersion in the East Texas outdoors. County Road 1906 bisects the ranch, dividing it into two nearly equal sections. Both are fenced and gated along the road, with the road dead-ending at the river, offering unmatched privacy and convenience. At its center sits a 576 sq/ft metal camp house, complete with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and a full kitchen—perfect for weekend escapes, hunting trips, or staging outdoor adventures. Surrounded by large landholdings and thousands of federally protected acres, Rowley River Ranch enjoys exceptional seclusion, long-term neighboring stability, and a front-row seat to one of Texas’ greatest conservation success stories. If you're seeking a recreational haven, a wildlife-rich retreat, or a riverfront legacy property with rare ecological significance, Rowley River Ranch is where your journey begins—where the road ends and the wild begins.
