Waggoner Ranch: Iconic Chunk of Texas for Sale at $725 Million
The Waggoner Ranch in north Texas is slightly smaller than Rhode Island and is the largest ranch in the U.S. within a single fence. Everything about it is Texas-scale: the colorful history, the sprawl, the oil that lies beneath it, and the feud among the heirs that is forcing a court-ordered sale. This old-fashioned working ranch comes with 6,800 cattle, 500 quarter horses, more than 1,000 producing oil wells, nearly 30,000 acres of farmland and more than 150 years of history. The price tag: $725 Million.

If I had the money I would definitely but it and let the respectful family members visit it just to retain its history

way to be the generation that screws up your families heritage

$725 million dollars for 207.000 hectares of total land seems quite cheap. Thats 2/3 of the total area of Rhode Island.

I live in north Tx, and went to school with guys who worked on the Waggoner Ranch, I hate to see it sell because it is an iconic part of TX, I cant imagine someone who can pay that much money for a ranch that would have respect for the life style and what ranches like the Waggoner meant for the development of America.

i think 725million is too low for what the ranch includes.

I like how she says "I think it's worth so much more than that. The history, the horses, ect". Mentions everything but the OIL.

Time for a bit of trivia, so here goes. Are the Waggoners of Swiss-German descent or German?
