Description

240 Acres – Century-Owned Working Farm with Future Potential | Wharton County, TX

This 240-acre farm in Wharton County has been owned by the Gingerich Family for over 100 years. With approximately 180 acres currently in row crop and another 55 acres in improved hay pasture, this is a true working farm with strong production value and the kind of heritage you can’t manufacture.

The property is perimeter fenced, has power at the road, and includes an old homesite under the shade of mature trees — a perfect spot for someone looking to build their forever home and keep the rest in ag.

Whether you're looking to farm it yourself or invest in land with long-term potential, this tract offers both. The layout and location lend themselves to future homesite development, but it’s just as well suited for the person who wants room to work, raise a family, and stay rooted.
Just a short drive from El Campo, and less than an hour to Houston, this is the kind of property that doesn’t come along often. It’s more than acreage — it’s legacy land with room to write your own chapter.
