Houston County is the oldest county in Texas and is known for its mix of piney woods, rolling pastures, and clear lakes. With access to Davy Crockett National Forest, the area is a magnet for hunters, outdoor lovers, and buyers seeking space for rural homes or weekend retreats. Land here supports farming, timber, and recreation. It is a smart buy for anyone who wants both history and natural beauty in a place that still feels quiet and well-kept.
