Executive Summary
Positioned on 53 acres and offering nearly 13,000 square feet across two fully insulated buildings plus multiple outbuildings, 1256 County Road 401 is one of the most versatile commercial opportunities available in West Texas. With seven active water wells, in-place pumps, and two large in-ground tanks that have been properly maintained and offer accessible fishing, this site provides a rare level of infrastructure for industrial, agricultural, hospitality, or residential-style operations. Some Brazos River Basin water rights may also convey, adding even more long-term value. Robust 3-phase power can easily be installed and is available in the area. Large high-voltage transmission lines cross the edge of the property, with the potential for extremely heavy power.
The possibilities here are truly endless. The larger building features expansive shop space, spray foam insulation throughout, and a fully equipped commercial kitchen complete with a commercial stove, ovens, double refrigerator, vent hood, fryer, three-bay sink, and ice maker, ideal for a restaurant, catering operation, food production facility, or event-driven business. With its partial second floor, deluxe bathroom, and well-built living quarters, this structure could also be converted into a large, shared living facility or man camp, supported by abundant water access and ample parking.
The smaller building includes wash bays and several garage doors, making it a natural fit for automotive services, equipment, or animal washing, detailing, fabrication, or industrial support operations. Both buildings feature beautiful luxury living quarters and bathrooms, offering flexibility for on-site staff or owner-operators.
A custom-built heavy-duty electric lift/elevator services the second floor of the main building, allowing easy movement of tools, supplies, or inventory. The upstairs area is exceptionally well-built and engineered to support substantial weight, making it perfect for storage, workspace, or expansion.
Outside, 1256 County Road 401 includes multiple impressively tall carports capable of sheltering 20-plus vehicles or RVs, not including interior parking. The yard is surfaced with asphalt millings and offers extensive open parking for trucks, trailers, heavy equipment, or fleet vehicles. Additional outbuildings provide even more storage and operational flexibility.
Located next to the soon-to-reopen Tin Cup Golf Course, 1256 County Road 401 benefits from a growing commercial corridor and increasing regional activity. Whether establishing an industrial operation, fabrication shop, commercial kitchen, man camp, agricultural enterprise, or a completely new concept, this property delivers the space, utilities, and infrastructure to get up and running quickly.
There is truly nothing else like this on the market - buyer to verify all measurements
