S Co Rd 102 Wharton, TX 77488

Located just west of Houston, the Wharton Ranch is a 1,455.88-acre property spanning Wharton and Matagorda Counties. It features approximately 1.8 miles of Colorado River frontage. The ranch is equipped for a cow/calf operation, capable of running 500 head without fertilization. The pastures consist of native and improved grasses, including Gordo Bluestem and Bermuda, rooted in productive soils. The land includes Brazoria clay, Clemville silty clay loam, and Laewest clay, known for moisture retention and suitability for grazing and row crop farming. Historically, the ranch supported corn farming and is registered with base acres in corn. A rotational grazing system is supported by 8 water wells and strategically placed troughs. Approximately 300 acres are currently leased, generating income. Infrastructure includes multiple sets of working pens, with the main set built from W&W panels set in concrete under roof, a hydraulic squeeze chute, a large livestock barn for hay and cover, an equipment barn with partial concrete flooring, and an air-conditioned manager's office. The Colorado River supports wildlife, including whitetail deer, wild hogs, waterfowl, and alligators. The ranch features live oaks, pecan trees, and native cover along the riverbanks. The property has not been actively hunted in over 10 years. In addition to river frontage and stocked ponds, the ranch is watered by 8 water wells. Eight wind towers are being installed with a wind contract in place; the seller will reserve 50% of wind rights. The ranch is composed of coastal prairie soils that historically supported corn production and now sustain improved grasses without fertilization.
