This $30 Million Texas Ranch Comes With 6 Homes and an Epic Farm
They say everything is bigger in Texas. That is certainly true of the O|W Ranch located just outside Corpus Christi in South Texas.
Recently listed for $30 million, the 6,041-acre estate is owned by the Killam family, who are the fourth-generation owners of gas and oil company Killam Oil Co. The Killams are considered one of America’s top landowners, with a gas and oil dynasty that was established over a century ago. This particular Killam property is located in Bee and San Patricio Counties, less than 35 miles from Corpus Christi and 190 miles from Houston. According to the listing, there are six homes on the parcel as well as fully equipped farming facilities such as breeding pens, an eight-stall horse stable, a tack room, and a round pen.

Accessible by a private two-mile road, the property is surrounded by a high fence for added security and privacy. Inside the compound, six homes can comfortably accommodate up to 20 people. The main home is an elevated hunting lodge with rustic-style interiors, a commercial kitchen, a butler’s pantry, a living area, and an outdoor patio. The current owners use O|W Ranch for hunting and agricultural purposes, but there is plenty of opportunity for the new owner to create an exquisite trophy home or epic retreat.
“The seller has owned the property for about 15 years,” says listing agent Jay Leyendecker of Hall and Hall. “They have thoroughly enjoyed the ranch throughout their ownership and all its amenities. Their primary operations are just a little too far west of the ranch and therefore, they have decided to offer the ranch for sale.”
The property’s appeal also lies within its agricultural opportunity. There are 793 acres of cultivated farmland seeded with cotton and corn, which is a source of additional income. It is also home to an abundant wildlife population, with whitetail deer, Rio Grande turkey, feral hogs, doves, and ducks roaming within. In addition, the lush and picturesque land has 6.35 miles of creek beds, 23 ponds, four water wells, miles of piped water, and 11 windmills. There’s even an opportunity to generate additional income through wind energy development.
“The ranch is in a tightly held area in southern Texas where larger ranches are rarely seen in the marketplace,” Leyendecker says. “The O|W’s location and diversity make it an absolute dynamite combination of a large holding. The ranch has enjoyed three revenue streams in the past, with the potential of a fourth. A new owner could immediately step into an improved grazing, hunting, and farming operation.”
Sounds like O|W Ranch is quite the business opportunity, too.
