Nestled along the breathtaking waterfront of the Texas Gulf Coast, the Costa Grande Ranch, situated just 3 miles west of Port O’Connor, is now on the market. This vast property spans 2,805 acres in Calhoun County and is offered at a listing price of $10,799,250. The ranch is exclusively marketed by King Land & Water, showcasing its unique blend of natural beauty, extensive biodiversity, and unparalleled recreational opportunities.
The ranch enjoys a prime location, being easily accessible while offering seclusion and privacy. It fronts for over 2 miles along the south side of State Highway 185 and extends for 2.5 miles along the shoreline of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Access is also granted through a private, gated community easement, enhancing its appeal to potential buyers seeking exclusivity.
Costa Grande Ranch stands as a testament to the rich biodiversity of the region, featuring coastal live oaks, wetlands, coastal prairies, and diverse fishery habitats. Through diligent range management practices such as prescribed burning and water control structures, the ranch has been optimized to support a wide range of wildlife, making it an ideal locale for conservation efforts and recreational activities alike.
The property is encircled by Coastal Protected Areas and offers direct connections to state and federal waters, providing endless opportunities for hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. Situated within the Gulf Coast Prairies and Marshes Ecoregion, the ranch boasts habitats similar to those of the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, including a variety of ecosystems that support an array of wildlife and plant species.
In 2016, Costa Grande Ranch was strategically divided into 7 individual tracts, each placed under a Conservation Easement as part of a comprehensive wildlife and landscape Conservation Strategy. This thoughtful planning allows for the development of homes, lodges, and recreational amenities, including pier and dock access to the Intracoastal Canal. An additional 23-acre tract, not under conservation easement, serves as an ideal site for a significant hunting and fishing lodge with waterfront access.
The ranch features robust infrastructure, including high and low fencing, raised roads for accessibility, and multiple water wells for irrigation and wildlife support. It also includes a large equipment barn, sheds, and working pens, along with seven individual building sites for further development.

Offering a blend of investment potential and commitment to preserving Texas’ natural heritage, Costa Grande Ranch is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Texas Gulf Coast’s pristine landscape.
