Description
345 kV on the property. High-voltage transmission crosses the tract itself, not the region - the 345 kV corridor runs through the site, with the Pin Oak Creek substation at the fence line. For developers weighing grid interconnection, the wire is already here; for those pursuing behind-the-meter, it's the future export and backup path. Fiber is in close proximity as seen in the out aerial of this listing. A true behind-the-meter platform. Three natural gas pipeline operators cross the tract, giving on-site generation genuine supplier optionality and redundancy from day one — no single-pipeline dependency, no lateral construction risk. The site supports a 900 MW to 1.5 GW co-located generation envelope, making grid interconnection optional rather than gating: energize behind the meter on gas-fired capacity, then bridge to ERCOT on the on-site 345 kV as the large-load queue matures. Adjacency to Calpine's operating campus and the broader Freestone generation corridor (including the retired 1.85 GW Big Brown site) confirms this is proven generation ground - fuel, water, and transmission already converge here at scale. Water Story: County-wide, roughly 6,200 AF/yr of modeled availability today, climbing to ~11,400 AF/yr by 2070, with the Simsboro and Hooper carrying almost all of it. Actual county pumpage runs well below the MAG in most units, which means there's meaningful unclaimed headroom. Freestone County sits over the Carrizo-Wilcox Aquifer. It consists of the Wilcox Group and the overlying Carrizo Formation, and between the Trinity and Colorado rivers the Wilcox is divided into three distinct formations: Hooper, Simsboro, and Calvert Bluff - with the Simsboro typically containing the most massive water-bearing sands. The units dip southeast, so the outcrop/recharge zone runs through the western part of the county and the formations become progressively deeper and confined (artesian) as you move east toward the Trinity River. Depending on where the 2,262 acres sits on that gradient, your target production zone is either shallow Simsboro/Hooper in outcrop or a deeper confined Simsboro completion - likely somewhere in the 300–1,500+ ft range. For scale, TWDB records show about 2,436 wells in Freestone County with a median domestic depth of roughly 260 feet, with a significant industrial and rig-supply well record tied to energy operations - so there's real drilling history to pull logs from. Water quality is generally good updip; groundwater is generally fresh in the outcrop, with softer, higher-TDS water occurring downdip - meaning the deeper you chase the Simsboro east, the more you flirt with brackish treatment economics. Clean slate, flexible seller. Unincorporated Freestone County carries no zoning authority, and the interconnection slate is clean — no legacy queue positions, no encumbrances to unwind. The landowner is focused on selling and flexible on structure, open to fee sale, phased takedown, or partnership with a data center counterparty.
