Hall and Hall, an auction firm in Colorado, will be auctioning the acreage, which will be presented in 16 tracts and combinations, according to its website.

The majority of the land was acquired by North American Coal Co. and Houston Lighting and Power in the 1980s.
The tracts range in size from 1.2 acres-2,104 acres, and consist of ranchland, pastures and farmland. The acreage is within two hours of Dallas and Houston, with small tracts available for commercial and residential development.

The auction will take place at 10 a.m., Tuesday. Nov. 14 at the Hart-Morris Conservation Center in Athens, TX.
