Texas land's a fast growing area when it comes to real estate, and there's already a lot of acreage for sale there. If you are looking for quality ranch land in the lonestar state, there are some things you'll need to keep in mind. #1 - Make Sure it Has a Water Source - You'll need water for livestock, for any crops you plan on growing, and you may even need it for your home. This is one of the most important concerns you should have when you are looking at such properties. #2 - You’ll Need Plenty of Grass - especially if you plan on having livestock on the property. While you can provide them with hay and other feeds, it can save you a huge amount of money if you have grass for your livestock to eat, so make sure that the ranch property you are considering has some nice grass pastures available. #3 - Shade is Important - Your animals or even family will not do well if they always end up out in the sun, so make sure you have some nice shade on the property so they have the opportunity to get out of the sun, especially in the hot summer season. #4 - Be Sure There are Clear Boundaries - You need to be sure that you know where the boundaries of the property are and that they are clearly marked as well. Often fencing is a great way for these boundaries to be marked clearly. #5 - Don't Buy in Flood Zones - The last thing you want to worry about is dealing with flooded land, which can result in the loss of feed, buildings, and even your livestock. #6 - Look for Easy Access - You need to make sure that you have great access on and off the ranch to get in and out. This means you should have good access roads that lead off your ranch into town. #7 - Beware of Weeds - There are actually many different types of weeds in Texas that can be dangerous to your livestock, so you want to purchase property that does not have these weeds to worry about. Before you make the final purchase, find out what kind of weeds are on the property. #8 - Consider the Types of Wildlife Already on the Property - There are some types of wildlife that you may not want on your ranch property, since they can be dangerous to the livestock that you plan on owning.
