Texas land and real estate

Texas land overview

As the saying goes, everything's bigger in the "Lone Star State." Texas has the most acreage in the contiguous U.S. at over 171 million acres. Its massive land area translates into a large amount of land for sale and a variety of diverse property types to buy. When people think about Texas, they often think about desert land, but only a small portion falls into that category. Much of the state is covered in forests, prairies, grasslands, rivers, lakes, and over 350 miles of Gulf coastline. Texas' entire border is defined by water. It's also home to some of the country's most iconic ranches such as the King Ranch, the Waggoner Ranch, and the Mesa Vista Ranch, which together make up around 1.4 million acres.
