Bio
During his nineteen-year tenure as the Director of Land Protection for the Nature Conservancy and West Texas Program Manager in Texas, James King garnered more experience putting conservation real estate transactions together than anyone else in Texas. A staunch advocate of community-based conservation, James has worked on many projects that are now well-known protected lands such as: Dolan Falls Preserve, Barton Creek Preserve, Independence Creek Preserve, Powderhorn Ranch, Shamrock Island, Marathon Grasslands, and Pinto Canyon. In his own back yard in the Trans-Pecos, James spearheaded the efforts to create the Davis Mountains Preserve – one of the most pristine and compelling conservation assets in the state. Additionally, James currently serves on the Borderlands Research Advisory Board, Board of Visitors of McDonald Observatory, Devils River Conservancy, and was the past Chair of the Big Bend Ranch State Park Advisory Board, in which capacity he worked with other volunteers to help support the needs of this vast 300,000-acre state wilderness park and open it for public use.
James King has facilitated more than a million acres of conservation real estate transactions in Texas, but his particular concentration today is in the majestic Trans-Pecos region of far West Texas, the Texas Gulf Coast, and the stunning Edwards Plateau. James and Tammy moved to Fort Davis in 1998 with their two young children to embrace the small-town values and further relationships and knowledge of this vast region of Texas and the people who call it home. They are also conservation real estate owners themselves, so the King family has had first-hand experience of many aspects of owning conservation property. Opening an Austin office, now managed by their son Harrison, not only expands their ability to cover the entire state, but also brings in new technology and social media expertise in reaching the next generation of buyers and sellers.
If the diverse landscapes in Texas have inspired you to take the next step and consider ownership of a portion of our state’s heritage, King Land & Water is ready to be your boots-on-the-ground representative from its ideally-located bases of operations in Fort Davis and Austin Texas.
