Turnkey 180+ Acre Ranch on US 281 with 4 Homes & Income

180+ Acre South Texas Working Cattle Ranch on US Highway 281

180+ acres of South Texas working cattle ranch—and that’s not all. Besides being a fully featured operational ranch complete with living quarters, barns, pens, fences, and water, this property sits on a hard corner at US Highway 281 and paved Jim Wells County Road 227. With over 3,200 feet of frontage on US 281 and approximately 2,300 feet of frontage on County Road 227, this ranch offers an exceptional combination of agricultural use, highway visibility, income potential, and future residential or commercial development possibilities.

Significant residential development already exists in the surrounding area, and TxDOT reports a traffic count of almost 10,000 vehicles per day on US Highway 281. Whether you’re looking for a working South Texas cattle ranch, investment property, income-producing acreage, hunting property, or land with future development potential, this property checks a lot of boxes.

The property has four residential homes available for living quarters or rental income. The current operators had a ranch hand living in one home and rented the other three, providing an additional income stream while continuing to operate the ranch.

Dove hunting here is outstanding, and deer are also found on the property, adding recreational and hunting opportunities to an already versatile ranch.

There are numerous ranch support structures on the property, including a 100′ x 100′ hay barn and a 50′ x 100′ metal shop/barn with a concrete floor, roll-up doors, electricity, and water. Over half of the exterior fencing is new. The other half is not that old and remains in very good condition. Interior cross fencing allows for rotational grazing or herd divisions, and several smaller paddocks around the pens and barns provide convenient areas for holding cattle to work or keeping horses.

Water is piped from a redundant double-water-well system to water troughs throughout the pastures, providing the infrastructure needed for an operational South Texas cattle ranch.

Besides having everything needed to be a working ranch, this property actually represents a value in today’s market. If you take this place apart and add it back up in acres, square footage, structures, residences, infrastructure, and amenities, there is no way you could get anywhere close to being able to build it for this today.

Only the dissolving of amicable partners going different directions in life makes this property available at a motivated price.

If you are looking for an opportunity to acquire a multifaceted South Texas property offering turnkey ranch operations, four residences, multiple income streams, excellent dove hunting, deer, extensive ranch improvements, major US Highway frontage, and residential or commercial development potential at a price that makes sense, you better get your truck keys and get over here.

Conveniently located in Jim Wells County, just 15 minutes from Orange Grove, 15 minutes from Alice, Texas, and approximately 25 minutes from George West, Texas, with direct access and outstanding visibility along US Highway 281.
