Texas Farm & Ranch Property

“We were looking to buy a place in the country for a weekend getaway for the whole family. We wanted to find a Realtor who understood what we were looking for, in terms of location, cost, and amenities. A friend of ours recommended Jason, and they couldn't have been more right. He listened to what we wanted, and spent several months working with us to find the right place. We couldn't have been happier with his service and expertise in finding us just the right place!”

~ David Y. - Tyler County

Many individuals harbor the dream of owning their own slice of the countryside, just an hour or two away from the bustling Greater Houston area. Whether it's raising livestock, exploring ATV trails, practicing target shooting, tending to a flourishing garden, indulging in hunting- or simply relishing stunning views from your porch or beside a cozy fire pit, the allure of a rural retreat is undeniable.

There's a multitude of unique considerations to navigate. These encompass critical details like water and mineral rights, land use regulations, agricultural exemptions, easements, land layout, infrastructure, utilities, and access to local services, all of which are integral to acquiring country property.
