5.64-acre Orange Grove parcel listed at $139,900 near County Road 308

A 5.64-acre tract at 3311 County Road 308 Lot 1 in the Orange Grove area of Jim Wells County was listed for sale on Jan. 10, 2026 with an asking price of $139,900. The active MLS listing carries number CCAR 469780 and shows a per-acre figure of roughly $24,805.

The parcel is described as an interior lot with water provided by a private well and designated for rural/residential uses suitable for homes or agricultural activity. The property falls within the Orange Grove ISD attendance zone and is being marketed by Corpus Christi Realty Group, which is listed as the brokerage of record.

For local residents and prospective buyers, the listing matters on several fronts. At just over five and a half acres, the parcel is sized for small-scale farming, a hobby ranch, or a single-family homestead that seeks greater separation from denser neighborhoods. The interior-lot designation typically means the parcel does not front a major road, which can affect driveway construction, access maintenance responsibilities, and the visibility of utilities. The presence of a well rather than a municipal water connection shifts the responsibility for water quality, pump maintenance, and any required permitting to the owner.

From an economic perspective, the $139,900 asking price offers an explicit data point in Jim Wells County’s rural land market as of January 2026. Land sales at this scale influence local housing options and the tax base that supports services such as Orange Grove ISD and county infrastructure. If the parcel converts to a primary residence or productive agricultural use, it could modestly increase local consumption and property tax revenue; if it remains undeveloped, it will have a different fiscal profile for county services.

Buyers should verify parcel and legal details, property taxes, utility arrangements, access rights, easements, and any permitting requirements with the listing agent and Jim Wells County records before making offers. Because the lot depends on well water, prospective owners should budget for well testing, possible drilling or pump work, and septic system permits if a residence is planned. Those considerations are central to determining total acquisition and development costs beyond the $139,900 asking price.

The listing has been on the market for about one week as of Jan. 17, 2026. For residents watching land use and development patterns in Orange Grove, this parcel represents a typical small-acreage opportunity that could attract local families, hobby farmers, or investors. Next steps for interested parties are to contact the listed broker, confirm on-the-ground access and utilities, and assess how a purchase would fit personal plans or the broader community outlook for rural growth in Jim Wells County.
