Just west of Houston lies a rare offering: The Wharton Ranch, spanning 1,455.88 acres across Wharton and Matagorda Counties. With approximately 1.8 miles of Colorado River frontage, this ranch combines top-tier production, natural beauty, and long-term investment upside. Cattle Operation & Improvements The ranch is fully set up for a turnkey cow/calf operation, comfortably running 500 head without the need for fertilization. Pastures are a mix of native and improved grassesincluding Gordo Bluestem and strong Bermudarooted in highly productive soils. The land features over a dozen soil types including Brazoria clay, Clemville silty clay loam, and Laewest clay, known for their moisture-holding capacity and suitability for both grazing and row crop farming. Historically, the ranch supported corn farming and is still registered with base acres in corn. The seller has spent years optimizing a rotational grazing system supported by 8 water wells and numerous strategically placed troughs. About 300 acres are currently leased to a neighbor, generating steady lease income. This ranch has a deep legacy in the Brangus world, producing award-winning genetics recognized nationwide. Infrastructure includes multiple sets of working pens, with the main set built from W&W panels set in concrete and protected under roof. A hydraulic squeeze chute is in place and conveys with the property. You'll also find a large livestock barn for hay and cover, an equipment barn with partial concrete flooring, and an air-conditioned managers office.Recreation & WildlifeThe Colorado River acts as a natural highway for wildlife, supporting a wide range of species including whitetail deer, wild hogs, waterfowl, and the occasional alligator. The ranch features large live oaks, pecan trees, and native cover along the riverbanks, creating excellent habitat and shade for both wildlife and livestock. Importantly, the property has not been actively hunted in over 10 years, allowing wildlife populations to thrive undisturbed. With no hunting lease in place, this land has been carefully stewarded and is ready for private recreational enjoyment or the implementation of a premium hunting program. Water, Wind & Opportunity In addition to river frontage and stocked ponds, the ranch is watered by 8 water wells. Wind energy adds a strong income component8 wind towers are currently being installed with a wind contract already in place. Seller will reserve 50% of wind rights. Soils & ProductivityThe Wharton Ranch features a diverse and productive soil profile ideal for both grazing and farming. Over 1,455 acres of the ranch are composed of prime coastal prairie soils that historically supported corn production and now sustain improved grasses with no need for fertilization.
