Grimes County Homes, Land and Ranches For Sale

Grimes County lies northwest of Houston, with the Navasota and Brazos Rivers along its western edge and the eastern side draining toward the San Jacinto River. It was formed from Montgomery County in 1846 and named for Jesse Grimes, a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence. Anderson is the county seat, Navasota is the largest city, and about 29,268 people lived in the county at the 2020 census.

The county mixes history and open land. Anderson and its surroundings are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Anderson Historic District, and Navasota has a historic downtown and a reputation as the Blues Capital of Texas. Along State Highway 105 and the farm roads that branch off it, buyers find acreage homesites, horse property, pasture and larger ranch tracts, plus small towns such as Plantersville, Todd Mission, Iola, Bedias, Shiro and Richards.

Location is a big part of the appeal. Highway 105 connects Navasota east toward Conroe and west toward Brenham, and State Highway 6 runs north to Bryan-College Station. That puts much of Grimes County within a reasonable drive of several job centers while keeping a rural setting.

Land here is priced tract by tract, so we look closely at access, water, fencing, soils, easements and flood zone on each property, especially near the rivers and creeks. Work with Benjamin Bernell, our land and ranch agent, or talk with Stacy Sherman, Broker. Thinking of selling? Ask for a pricing review of your Grimes County land or home.
