Corner of FM 682 and Hwy 77 , Fordtran, TX 77995(Victoria County)

The ranch sits just outside of Fordtran, 20+/- minutes north of Victoria with 3,736± feet of frontage on FM 682 and 2,026± feet of frontage on Highway 77, providing two ideal entrances for easy access and future development flexibility. Centrally located between multiple vibrant communities, it is 21 miles from Yoakum, 19.5 miles from Victoria, and 24 miles from Cuero. Victoria Regional Airport is just 22 miles away, and municipal airports are also nearby in Cuero, Yoakum, and Hallettsville. Major cities are within easy reach—131 miles to Houston, 113 miles to Austin, and 121 miles to San Antonio—making this a prime candidate for a weekend getaway, homestead, or investment ranch with long-term upside.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat:

This 471± acre spread offers a beautiful mix of gently rolling topography, level open pasture, wooded draws, and seasonal creek systems. The soils are predominantly sandy loam, supporting native grasses and hardwood forest. The landscape is dominated by old-growth live oaks and majestic clusters of pecan, cedar elm, mesquite, hackberry, and scattered cedar, creating an incredible natural aesthetic and diverse ecological value. South Texas brush species are scattered throughout, enhancing the habitat and providing thermal cover and forage for wildlife. Elevation rises and natural overlooks offer scenic building sites and panoramic views across the property.

Water & Drainage Features:

The ranch features impressive surface water, starting with a 2.49± acre tank on the east side that has proven reliable even through extended drought periods. Multiple caliche pits across the property currently hold water and serve as key wildlife attractants. Chicolete Creek, a seasonal wet-weather creek, traverses approximately 2,184± feet along the northern boundary, with an additional 4,500± feet of drainage offering excellent potential for future pond or lake construction. The property includes a 111’ water well (pump hung at 50’) producing 20 GPM, with electricity extending into the heart of the property from FM 682. Approximately 92± acres of floodplain sit near Chicolete Creek which is along the northern boundary, creating diverse wetland habitat and ideal duck hunting zones.

Wildlife & Hunting:

This ranch is a haven for South Texas wildlife. The population of native game includes whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, dove, quail, wild hogs, seasonal ducks, and a variety of varmints. Quality bucks have been harvested over the years, particularly near the large tank and creek corridors. A well-established network of senderos, roads, and right-of-ways supports hunting access, with multiple blinds and feeders already in place. The blend of open fields, thick brush, water sources, and mature hardwood canopy creates an ideal environment for year-round wildlife and hunting enjoyment.

Improvements & Land Use:

The property is perimeter fenced (fair to good condition) and includes a handful of interior roads that are a mix of compacted dirt and grass—easily traversed by UTV, ATV, or truck. There are several water troughs and natural water holes throughout. Electricity is in place and there is a functioning water well at the center of the property. A small hunter’s cabin (no value assigned) is located near the center of the ranch and presents a potential home or lodge site. The property is not currently leased for grazing or hunting. Cattle on-site are owned by the seller, and the property benefits from an active Agricultural Exemption.

Why This Ranch Stands Out:

Few properties on the market today offer this balance of accessibility, natural beauty, and raw potential. The dual paved road frontage offers not just ease of access but real future development value. The mix of old live oak clusters, sandy loam soils, surface water, and rich habitat makes this ranch ideal for recreational use, livestock, or legacy ownership. With surface rights only, no encumbrances, and utilities already in place, this 471± acre ranch is ready for a new owner to create something remarkable.
