Texas family sells 650-acre lakefront ranch for $10M+, preserving 86 years of history as a state park

Texas Parks and Wildlife Foundation has acquired a 650-acre ranch on Lake Palestine for over $10 million.

This land will become a new state park, enhancing public access to natural resources.

Initially owned by the Pollard family since 1940, the property has significant natural features and wildlife habitats.

The state parks department plans to develop guided tours, campsites, and trails after the 2027 purchase completion.
