We buy land in Hood County directly from landowners, heirs and brokers for data center development. If your tract near Granbury sits near high-voltage lines or a substation, tell us about it. Free screen, honest answer within the week, cash close.
Hood County has more generation and high-voltage switching capacity than almost any rural county in Texas. Land near the Comanche Peak and Wolf Hollow interconnection points is of particular interest.
The Comanche Peak nuclear plant and the Wolf Hollow gas plant both sit in Hood County, with the 345 kV switchyards that serve them. Major corridors through the county include US-377, SH-144 and FM-51. Utilities active in the county include Oncor and United Cooperative Services.
We look for 40 to 700 acre tracts outside floodplain, ideally with road frontage, within roughly five miles of a substation that has headroom. Large ranch tracts on the west side of the metro (Wise, Parker, Hood, Johnson, Jack counties), the Red River counties (Wilbarger, Wichita, Grayson), and the east side along I-20 and I-30 (Kaufman, Van Zandt, Hunt, Lamar) are all active for us.
Most landowners have no way to know whether their property has real value to a data center developer, because that depends on grid capacity most people never look at. These are the signals that usually mean it is worth a conversation.
Location, acreage, and anything you know about power lines or prior utility contact. Five minutes by email.
We check grid capacity, title, floodplain and zoning ourselves using public records. If it does not fit, we tell you within the week and say why.
No listing, no showings, no marketing period. Terms are usually a short paid option period followed by a cash closing.
We handle title. Closing costs are negotiated up front. You are not carrying diligence risk; we are.
Yes. Hood County has more generation and high-voltage switching capacity than almost any rural county in Texas. Land near the Comanche Peak and Wolf Hollow interconnection points is of particular interest. Tracts near Granbury, Tolar, Lipan, Cresson and Acton that sit near high-voltage lines or a substation are what we screen first.
Utilities active in Hood County include Oncor and United Cooperative Services. You do not need to know which one crosses your land; we identify the line owner and voltage from public records.
It depends almost entirely on whether the nearby substation can accept new load, and on acreage, floodplain, water and access. We will screen your tract for free and tell you what we see before we make an offer.
Start by telling us where the land is and what you know about nearby transmission infrastructure. You do not need to know the voltage or ownership. We do that research ourselves using ERCOT, utility and county records, then tell you honestly whether it is a fit and what it might be worth.
No. We buy directly from landowners and brokers alike. If you already have a broker, we are glad to work with them. If you do not, you do not need to hire one to talk to us.
Proximity to a substation or transmission line is the headline, but the real driver is whether that substation has spare capacity to accept new load. Most nearby substations in Texas do not. Parcel size, shape, flood zone, water access and zoning also matter. We screen for all of it before making an offer.
Once we have confirmed the site fits, terms are usually a short paid option period of 60 to 180 days to finish utility and title diligence, followed by a cash closing. We move as fast as the utility and title work allow.
Start with the property address. If the land has no street address, the nearest road and cross street, a county appraisal district parcel number, or GPS coordinates all work just as well. We will identify the substation, check capacity and title from public records, and tell you whether it fits.
