Where can I buy a large plot of land to build a ranch?



Question:



Where can I buy a large plot of land to build a ranch?

Are there any areas on the outskirts of Houston where I can buy a large piece of land (around 100 acres)? I am about to retire and want to build a ranch.

Answers:


How close? Many ranch/farm areas closer to Houston have been usurped for development. Pearland's change has astounded me. Heading down the 59 South past Sugarland, you can still find ranch land (I think that is your best bet). Alvin, which is close to Pearland,and some areas near it still has ranch/farm areas around the city. Development is occurring more on the western side of Houston, so this area may not offer many good opportunities. North and East of Houston do not provide many areas for ranches.

There are many great properties for ranches. Alvin and Manvel are great up and coming areas with plenty choices. Another great area is Rosharon/Iowa Colony. The investment opportunities in these areas is definetly worth checking into.
