Wenzel Ranch – 984.04± Acres | Premier Development Opportunity | Fort Bend County, Texas
The Wenzel Ranch is a 984.04-acre working cattle operation strategically positioned within one of the most active development corridors in Fort Bend County. Located on the western edge of Rosenberg, this exceptional property presents a rare large-scale acquisition opportunity for residential and industrial developers seeking frontage, infrastructure proximity, and long-term upside in a high-demand growth market.
