Introduction to Whitehall Ranch
It’s difficult to say what would be the premier selling point of Whitehall Ranch, a 665-acre mega gem little more than an hour’s drive from Houston. The location, just 61 miles from downtown Houston and 12 miles from Navasota, is certainly a major draw. But then there are the six guest houses, a full skeet shooting range, a lavish pool area, and the helipad, each of which is a compelling feature in its own right. The acreage, hay fields, pecan trees, wildlife, and lakes all have their own unique appeal as well.
The Family Compound
The focus of this sprawling ranch land is the Whitehall family compound, which features a main house and two guest houses, a pool, and a spa. Soaring ceilings and ample windows define the contemporary feel of the residences, which were designed to embrace ranch life in a modern fashion. The main house measures 4,308 square feet, while the two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house spans 1,600 square feet, and the four-bedroom, four-bathroom bunk house also spans 1,600 square feet.
Additional Features and Amenities
In addition to the family compound, there are four additional guest houses (or quarters for ranch hands) on another part of the property. There are also horse stables (24 stalls) and barns located at the peak of Whitehall Ranch’s rolling terrain. The venue offering 360-degree views could be an entertainment area as well. Texans know the fun of barn parties, and with the abundance of bunks on the ranch, the possibilities for mega celebrating are endless. A regulation skeet and trap course complete with a small clubhouse is another notable feature, perfect for entertaining.
Wildlife and Conservation
The Whitehall Ranch boasts a wildlife oasis with a great mix of creek bottoms, pine and hardwood stands, and open fields. A hunter or conservationist’s paradise, the diversity of the ranch has created strong populations of deer, turkeys, and doves. Plus, the wetland pond and several lakes are home to a good number of ducks in the winter.
Listing Details
No surprise that the remarkable property in south Grimes County is listed turnkey for $19.9 million. This represents a serious reduction from the $43 million that the property was listed for in 2023, and is even still a reduction from the pandemic era $21.6 million list price in October of 2020. So, this could be a bargain in the making. Perhaps the third time is the charm. Republic Ranches’ principal and partner Jeff Boswell and broker associate Kate Gibson have the listing.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Whitehall Ranch is a truly unique and special property that offers a wide range of features and amenities. From its prime location and family compound to its additional guest houses, horse stables, and wildlife oasis, there is something for everyone at this 665-acre mega gem. Whether you are a hunter, conservationist, or simply someone looking for a luxurious and private retreat, Whitehall Ranch is definitely worth considering. With its reduced list price of $19.9 million, it may be the perfect time to make this incredible property yours.
