Historic Neidigk Ranch ~ Magnolia, TX

Posted by Paula McDonald
Historic Neidigk Ranch ~ Magnolia, TXDiscovering a tract of property with historic significance is always a treat! A grand 457 acre ranch located on the southeast side of Magnolia is just hidden enough to provide excellent privacy and security. If you asked most folks around here they probably don't even know this ranch exists unless you head to Google Maps! For generations the Neidigk Family has lived and worked this tract of land. It was once many more acres but has been parceled off over time leaving the remaining 457 acres. The original Neidigk family hailed from Germany and settled in this area. The remaining tract still has the Neidigk family residing there. This tract has been a part of the Neidigk Family since Texas became a Republic in 1845. In Texas it is getting more and more difficult to find a tract of land that is still being occupied by the same founding family. In the 50's, Grandpa Neidigk put in the spillway and dam thus creating the beautiful 75 acre Neidigk Lake that sits proudly in the center of the property. Around the turn of the century Fred Neidigk started the Neidigk Sawmill on the property. A thriving lumber company began and is still in operation today. At the northwest side of the property, there are still remnants of the old sawmill. The current Neidigk Family has built many homes on the property and continue to work the ranch and maintain its integrity. There are stories of Spanish explorers who settled on the ranch and there are tales of buried gold! Wouldn't that be fun to discover! The best thing about this tract of land are the people who reside there. The Neidigk's are wonderful, hard working folks who are proud of their heritage and the land that they have worked so hard on. Getting to know these fine individuals has been the best part of my association with this land. Exciting things are about to happen to this wonderful tract of land. Chevaux Group, PLLC has been working on a project that will do the area and the land right! Details will be coming out as soon as we are able to reveal them. This is an exciting time as we watch this historic tract unfold into its newest chapter! Stay tuned for the upcoming news of the Neidigk Ranch!      "Have you fully lived today?" Paula L.
