Wexford Ranches are seven diverse properties across seven Texas counties. Collectively, they showcase the O’Connor family’s commitment and devotion to the unique ecosystems and wildlife found in the Lone Star State. Thomas O’Connor came to South Texas from Wexford County, Ireland and established a ranch in 1836. Ever since, generations of O’Connors have acquired and stewarded river bottom forests, thorn shrublands, oak mottes, and one of the largest swaths of intact Coastal Bend prairie along the Gulf Coast, known as Duke Prairie.
