The Cole Ranch presents a rare opportunity to acquire 259± acres of Colorado County's most picturesque ranch land, conveniently located less than 10 minutes from Columbus, Texas and Interstate 10. Characterized by majestic live oaks, rolling open meadows, a scenic pond, meandering creek frontage, and abundant wildlife habitat, the ranch offers an ideal combination of recreation, ranching, investment, and future homesite potential. Scattered throughout the ranch are magnificent mature live oaks that create a park-like landscape rarely found on properties of this size. Properties that successfully combine natural beauty, water resources, mature tree cover, privacy, and excellent accessibility are increasingly difficult to find. With more than 2,200 feet of frontage along Highway 71 and convenient access to Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, the Cole Ranch is uniquely positioned for both immediate enjoyment and long-term appreciation. Whether your vision includes a family legacy ranch, weekend retreat, recreational property, large acreage development, cattle operation, or future estate homesite, the Cole Ranch offers the flexibility, beauty, and long-term ownership appeal sought by today's land buyers. The Sellers have elected to offer the property through a Sealed Bid Offering, allowing qualified Buyers the opportunity to independently determine value and submit confidential offers for consideration. Final bids are due Tuesday, August 11th at 5:00 PM. Please contact the listing agent for bid submission instructions.
