| Population—According to the Calhoun County Economic Development Corporation, more than 10 million people live within a 150 mile radius of Calhoun County and 10 million more live within 300 miles. Climate—Calhoun County is at approximately the same subtropical latitude as Orlando Florida. Sunshine, sea breezes and moderate temperatures allow outdoor activity much of the year. Weather is substantially influenced by the Gulf and the large bays which tend to moderate temperature extremes in both summer and winter. The area has more than 200 days of sunshine annually and rainfall is well distributed throughout the year. Recreation Fishing—According to a Texas A&M study, of the nearly 1 million recreational visitors coming to Calhoun County annually, more than 80% name sport fishing as their primary reason for selecting this destination. Some of the very best saltwater fishing in Texas is available in the area. Sailing—Open bays and friendly winds are suited for sail boarding and sail boating. Hunting—A wide range of hunting opportunities are available in Calhoun County. Birding—A migratory flyway for 400 species of birds passes through Calhoun County. In addition, the area is a wintering ground for numerous species including the endangered Whooping Crane. The opportunity to see these tall birds brings thousands of visitors to the area each winter. The seasonal influx provides a bonanza of bird watching to complement the vast array of year-round bird residents, particularly waterfowl and shore birds such as the Roseate spoonbill, Brown Pelican, and a dozen varieties of egrets and cranes. Several birding facilities have been established throughout the area including a 2,200-foot wetlands walkway and birding tower at the Lighthouse Beach and Bird Sanctuary. Wildlife Preserves—The Calhoun County area includes internationally recognized wilderness preserves. Among others, the 70,000-acre Aransas National Wildlife Refuge draws visitors from around the world each year. Habitat protection for birds and other wildlife is the main mission of the refuge. Historic Sites—Pass Cavallo provided Calhoun County with the deepest natural port on the Texas coast in the period before the 20th Century. This meant the area played an important role in the development of trade and commerce in Texas. Spanish and French explorers first came to the area. Later, European colonists arrived at the port at Indianola. It was, at one time, the largest and busiest port in Texas with a population of more than 5,000. The county was the site of Fort St. Louis, major Indian battles, Civil War encounters and one of the first railroads in Texas. Area Developments—The Texas coast real estate market is quickly heating up. Compared to other bay and ocean front property within the U.S., water front property can be bought for a fraction of the price. However, this will not last for long. Within miles of the Bayfront Ranch, there are several large tract developments that have begun marketing waterfront lots. When it comes to property features, Bayfront Ranch is by far the premier waterfront property. |
