A 1,350-acre ranch that sits across a future Texas State Park on the Gulf Coast is on the market for $5.4 million.
“Powderhorn North’s owners have taken dutiful care of the land and its resources,” said Chad Foster, founder and broker of Foster Farm & Ranch. “This has allowed the area’s population of shorebirds, wading birds, and waterfowl to thrive.” Over the years, conservation groups and the Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation purchased about 17,000 acres in that area of Calhoun County for $50 million. Part of the funding was made available from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation’s Gulf Environmental Benefit Fund, which resulted from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
“I’m a native Texan. I grew up going to our state parks and thankfully learned to appreciate all they do for our land and wildlife here,” Foster said. “The idea of a new state park is extremely exciting, so when we got the Powderhorn North listing I was immediately enamored of the location. Knowing what this area will become over the next few decades, I’d be proud to contribute a portion of proceeds from the sale of this property to an organization working to keep Texas beautiful.
