Seven-D Ranch

$45,000,000 Whitehall, TX 1,650± Deeded Acres

Executive Summary

The Seven-D Ranch in Whitehall may be in the most scenic region of the Houston/College Station regional market. The community's grassy rolling hills are famous for their wildflowers and pastoral scenery among the grazing cattle and idyllic setting as a whole. A large working ranch composed of 1,650± acres in a premier location, Seven-D is a triple threat offering of outstanding beauty, agricultural production, and in the "Path of Progress". Rolling improved pasture supplemented with irrigation, exceptional ranch infrastructure, and essential improvements, existing venue opportunities, and scenic high-fenced game pasture.

However, location rules in the wealth-building industry of real estate, and Seven-D may very well emerge as the future champion. The “Aggie Freeway” (Highway 249) has transformed the connectivity of southern Grimes County to the major markets of northwest Houston and College Station. At posted speeds, it is a 27-minute drive from the GCR 306 exit to the Grand Parkway Highway 99 exit. Similarly, it is only a 25-minute drive at posted speeds to the Texas Avenue exit at Highway 6. While Seven-D Ranch is still located in an idyllic rural setting, it is situated and of the size to be truly considered investment grade.

Co-listed with Henson Land and Ranch.

Broker's Comments

Seven-D Ranch is likely the premier offering to ever be placed on the market as a “Path of Progress” holding. A preeminent cattle ranch for the region also doubles as a preeminent land bank play as a future Master Planned Community.
