Clearbranch Refuge | Polk County, TX | 148± Acres
Most buyers looking at land near a National Preserve are working off assumptions. Elevation, water depth, access, they’re guessing at all three until they’re standing on the dirt. Clearbranch Refuge removes the guesswork before you ever walk it.
This 148± acre tract sits directly on the boundary of the Big Thicket National Preserve, with 75 feet of elevation change and creek frontage on Double Branch Creek defining the northeast edge. That’s surveyed terrain adjoining over 113,000 acres of protected federal wilderness. What that buys you is a ceiling on development next door that most private tracts can’t offer.
