Largest Texas ranch for sale

Post by Pigeon » Sun Aug 31, 2014 3:28 pm

The ranch consists of approximately 535,000 acres, and is recognized as the largest ranch in Texas under one fence



FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — One of the largest ranches in the U.S. and an icon for Texas horse and cattlemen has been listed for $725 million, marking the end of a decades-long courtroom battle among the heirs of cattle baron W.T. Waggoner, who established the estate in 1923.

The estate includes the 510,000-acre ranch spread over six North Texas counties, with two main compounds, hundreds of homes, about 20 cowboy camps, hundreds of quarter-horses, thousands of heads of cattle, 1,200 oil wells and 30,000 acres of cultivated land.

The Waggoner Ranch is the largest contiguous ranch in the United States. W.T. Waggoner's father, Dan Waggoner, started ranching in 1849.

Amazing. What a property.

People can retire on this sale or investment.

Just got back to the ranch from a road trip. The ranch here is a bit smaller.
