180+ acres of South Texas working cattle ranch & that's not all. Besides being a fully 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 on County Road 227, this ranch offers agricultural use, highway visibility, income potential, residential or commercial development possibilities. Residential development exists in the area, and TxDOT reports almost 10,000 vehicles per day on US 281. The property has four homes for living quarters or rental income. Current operators used one for a ranch hand and rented the other three. Dove hunting is outstanding, and deer are found on the property. Ranch improvements include a 100' x 100' hay barn and 50' x 100' metal shop/barn with concrete floor, roll-up doors, electricity, and water. Over half the exterior fencing is new, with the remainder in very good condition. Interior cross fencing allows for rotational grazing or herd divisions, with smaller paddocks around the pens and barns for holding cattle or horses. Water is piped from a redundant double-water-well system to troughs throughout the pastures. Besides having everything needed to be a working ranch, this property represents a value in today's market. Take this place apart and add it back up in acreage, homes, structures, infrastructure, and amenities, and there is no way you could get close to building it for this today. Only the dissolving of amicable partners going different directions makes this property available at a motivated price. If you're looking for a multifaceted South Texas property offering turnkey ranch operations, multiple income streams, hunting, highway frontage, and development potential at a price that makes sense, you better get your truck keys and get over here. Just 15 minutes from Orange Grove, 15 minutes from Alice, and 25 minutes from George West, Texas.
