About This Home

Ehrman Ranch is a rare nearly 200-acre offering in Wallis, Texas, located less than an hour from downtown Houston. The property features approximately 0.75 miles of frontage along State Highway 60 and approximately 0.5 miles of frontage along the San Bernard River, creating a highly desirable dual-frontage configuration that is increasingly rare in this corridor. Improvements include a 2,500± SF four-bedroom, two-bath waterfront lodge overlooking a private 15- acre lake, supported by multiple guest and operational structures including a three-bedroom guest house, caretaker’s residence, and barndominium with workshop space. The property has been successfully operated as an incomeproducing retreat with strong short-term rental and hospitality potential. Additional features include a gated entrance, oak-lined drive, commercial-grade water well, and diverse terrain consisting of pasture, wooded area and river corridor habitat supporting hunting, fishing, and recreational use. Ehrman Ranch offers a unique blend of recreation, income potential, and long-term investment value in one of Southeast Texas’ fastest-growing regions.
