OVERVIEW Chapel Lake Ranch is a 975 +/- acre East Texas legacy property located approximately one hour and fifteen minutes from downtown Dallas in Rains County. From the moment you pass through the stately electric-gated entrance, a private paved road winds for more than a mile through manicured hay pastures, meticulously managed water features, and a high-fenced game sanctuary before arriving at the impressive colonial-style estate. Every mile of this ranch has been thoughtfully developed, and the result is one of the most complete and versatile rural offerings in the region. Situated within the game-rich Sabine River corridor, Chapel Lake Ranch delivers a rare combination of world-class deer and waterfowl hunting, exceptional fishing, riverfront recreation, working agricultural land, and a recently added wedding chapel all under one fence. Whether the goal is a premier hunting operation, a family retreat, a working ranch, or a destination event property, Chapel Lake Ranch is ready to perform on every front. LOCATION Chapel Lake Ranch is situated in southeast Rains County, less than 75 miles east of Dallas. Access is provided via Rains County Road 2440, which delivers end-of-road privacy to the ranch's secure gated entrance. The southern boundary stretches nearly three and a half miles along the Sabine River, and the ranch entrance sits less than 20 miles from Wood County Airport, making fly-in access practical for buyers and guests alike. HABITAT & TOPOGRAPHY Chapel Lake Ranch encompasses a diverse mosaic of habitat types within the South Central Plains Ecoregion. Native hardwood canopy including oaks, walnut, elm, and pecan frames the upland pastures and transitions into richly timbered bottomlands along the Sabine River corridor. Bottomland soils are predominantly Gladewater Clay, dark, productive, and well-suited for food plots. Upland pasture soils shift to well-drained Woodtell Loam, which supports the ranch's 200 +/- acre Bermuda and Bahia grass hay operation. An elevation change of approximately 50 feet from 390 feet near the main gate down to 340 feet along the river creates natural drainage patterns that have been enhanced through professionally designed road and drainage infrastructure. Roads are regularly maintained and are passable by truck throughout the property; a side-by-side or buggy is recommended for the most efficient access across the full acreage. The Sabine River bottom adds significant habitat complexity, forming multiple sloughs and low-lying corridors that serve both wildlife and waterfowl exceptionally well. WILDLIFE & HUNTING The game-fenced sanctuary currently supports a managed whitetail herd with strong genetics, an active MLD program, and a full wildlife exemption a testament to the years of intentional management invested in this operation. Superior genetics have been carefully maintained, and bucks exceeding 200" B&C are routinely harvested and continue contributing to the herd's future. In addition to whitetail, the ranch carries approximately 50 +/- fallow deer and remnant populations of blackbuck antelope and axis deer, providing a diverse and unique hunting experience. Six well-positioned tower blinds are strategically distributed across the ranch. Each blind station is equipped with both a corn feeder and a protein feeder, as well as a tree stand for bow hunters offering multiple approach options throughout the season. All feeders are remotely operated and can be activated from anywhere via cell phone, adding a modern layer of management flexibility. Predator wire was installed along the entirety of the game fence approximately three years ago, significantly reducing predator pressure on the herd.
