June 22, 2013 (DENVER, Colo.) – Rumor has it Scrappin’ Valley got its name from the roughly independent individuals who used to seek refuge in the natural beauty of the area. Now an approximately 11,213-acre portion of this secluded region is being made available as part of a private sealed bid auction ending July 31.

“This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Bart Miller, managing broker of United Country – Mason & Morse Ranch Company. “The size of this property and the history this property carries with it makes it a rare find for individual buyers, conservation groups or corporations seeking a legacy property. The Scrappin’ Valley Forest and Wildlife Research Area preserves the rustic feeling that is true to the region, yet is refined with many of today’s modern amenities.”

Located two and a half hours northeast of Houston near Jasper, Texas, Scrappin’ Valley plays host to numerous amenities for guests and colleagues including a corporate events facility, regulation tennis court, hunting and shooting facilities, 19 double-occupancy rooms with private baths and high game fencing. It is also boasts two fully stocked six-acre lakes. A 5,000-acre Red-Cockaded Woodpecker Habitat Management Area is maintained within the forest.

“Seldom is a property of this size and potential available for purchase,” said Matt Armstrong with AltaTerra Realty and Auction. “The Scrappin’ Valley property is one of the largest contiguous tracts of timber, forestry and recreational land offered in east Texas, and offers excellent private hunting as it is home to one of the best managed whitetail deer herds in the state – not to mention quail, wild turkey and feral hogs.”

The property will be offered to in three separate parcels or can be purchased as a whole. Bids will be accepted starting June 24 and are due by July 31 at 4:00 PM CDT.
