Whitehall Ranch

The Whitehall Ranch includes 656 acres of rolling hills and every amenity you could desire on your ranch. A beautiful housing compound, horse and cattle facilities, a large fishing lake, huge views, and great wildlife. Only an hour from Houston, the ranch has the privacy and quiet that is unimaginable being so close to town. The high-end amenities are all here and ready to go with this turnkey ranch. This area is also in the path of growth with the new Aggie highway and should be an excellent long-term investment.

The ranch is located on county road 305 in southern Grimes County with over 3,000’ of road frontage. The ranch is 61 miles from downtown Houston. Only 12 miles to Navasota.

The Whitehall Ranch is a terrific mixture of open rangelands, thick pine forests, and oak and pecan-filled bottoms. Soils are a mixture of sandy and clay loams to add to the diversity. Several areas are thick old growth forests with over 120’ of elevation changes, the views are astounding.

The Whitehall Ranch has created a wildlife oasis with a great mix of creek bottoms, pine and hardwood stands, and open fields. The outstanding diversity of the ranch has created strong populations of deer, turkeys, and doves. The wetland pond and several lakes hold good duck numbers in the winter. This diversity also invites various migrating bird species throughout the year. There is great bass fishing in the main lake which is managed to produce trophy fish.

Fantastic, clean hay meadows and coastal fields on the ranch create great potential for both horses and cattle on the ranch.

A private, impeccably designed family enclave is tucked into a naturally protected setting and reflects the thoughtful merger of inspiration and architecture. The main residence, two guest houses, and pool house and spa area are a masterpiece of design and modern luxury with soaring ceilings and wall-to-wall windows. No detail was overlooked with seven generators for full backup power on all of the improvements. Terraced landscaping and manicured grasses offer a zen-like setting among architectural symmetry and dramatic lines.

There are also four guest homes away from the main compound for guests or ranch workers. There are also horse stables (24 stalls) and barns at the high point of the front end of the ranch completed and maintained meticulously. This venue could be an entertainment area as well with 360 degree views. A beautiful regulation skeet and trap course with a small clubhouse is set off by itself for great entertaining. There is a great road system, with interior and exterior fences in excellent condition.

Multiple water wells are on the property with a big well to maintain the large 8-acre fishing lake. The lake is set up to use for irrigation should one choose to utilize it. Beason Creek forms its western boundary, and two smaller creeks run through the middle of the ranch (one creek is spring-fed and runs year-round). There is one smaller pond along with the 8-acre fishing lake and a large shallow lake used as a wetland unit to attract ducks. The water wells here are usually set between 250’-300’ and produce strong, good water. Larger volume wells can be produced in this area.
