Crockett Ranch 176 is a rare 176-acre tract whose property boundaries touch the Southwestern Electric Power Co. (SWEPCO) substation on two sides. This direct adjacency places the ranch beside both a 345 kV transmission line and a 69 kV distribution line. The property sits just five minutes from downtown Crockett with paved access from Highway 21 and Sullivan Lane.
This combination of acreage, topography, and high-voltage infrastructure makes the site exceptionally well-suited for data center development, battery storage, solar generation, high-load industrial use, or future crypto mining feasibility.
Location:
The ranch is located off Highway 21 at Sullivan Lane, just outside the city limits of Crockett. The position offers immediate access to fuel, groceries, restaurants, hardware supply, and a local labor pool, while maintaining privacy and space for large-footprint development. Houston, College Station, and Huntsville are all within efficient reach.
Power Infrastructure:
SWEPCO Substation (Adjacent on Two Sides):
The property touches the substation boundary on two sides, creating an unusually short interconnection distance and reducing future development costs.
345 kV Transmission Line:
A major high-voltage line enters the SWEPCO substation. LandGate identifies the line as 345 kV with a 735+ MVA capacity rating. This voltage class is suitable for utility-scale solar, large BESS installations, high-load industrial users, data centers, and 100–200+ MW crypto feasibility.
69 kV Distribution Line:
A 69 kV line also connects to the substation. This voltage class supports industrial operations, auxiliary site loads, and potential tie-ins for supporting infrastructure.
Additional Transmission Corridor:
LandGate also identifies an overhead 345 kV AC transmission line operated by Entergy Texas Inc. in the surrounding corridor. This dual-utility presence strengthens the reliability and long-term development appeal of the site.
Land & Improvements:
The property consists of 176 acres of usable pastureland with a mix of flat and gently rolling topography. Improvements include a ranch house suitable for office or crew housing, a small barn, an equipment shed, perimeter fencing, and three surface ponds/tanks. The open layout provides flexibility for phased industrial, energy, or infrastructure development while maintaining agricultural usability.
Water:
Three ponds/tanks are located on the property, providing surface water for livestock or construction. The area supports additional well development if needed.
Minerals:
Negotiable.
Highest and Best Use:
With direct adjacency to a SWEPCO substation, 345 kV transmission access, and nearly all-usable terrain, Crockett Ranch 176 is positioned for high-load energy and industrial development, including data centers, battery storage installations, utility-scale solar, and large-capacity crypto mining. Properties under 200 acres with this level of grid infrastructure are extremely limited in East Texas, making this tract a highly compelling value.
