LaBelle Farm is 1,360± acres in Jefferson County, Texas, one contiguous tract along LaBelle Road near Beaumont. LaBelle Road runs the full eastern boundary and Blewett Road forms the northern line, so there is paved county road on two sides. Beaumont and Mid County are each about 15 minutes away.
The ground is flat and the soils are rich. About 70 percent is open pasture and leveled fields built for rice or row crops, the other 30 percent native brush. The fields are leveled, which is what rice farming needs, and the improved pasture carries the balance. The tract is perimeter fenced, carries an ag exemption and is under a current rice-farming lease that pays. Elevation is high for this part of the county, which helps drainage and leaves more options for building. Bayou Din runs along the southern tract.
The farm sits in Precinct 2, Hamshire-Fannett ISD, Drainage District 6 and the West Jefferson County Municipal Water District, with rural water service available.
Two major pipeline corridors cross the property and carry current and future right-of-way value. A 2025 appraisal covered 564 acres for a public pipeline acquisition, and recent private easements were priced per rod. The size, the distance to Beaumont and the utility access suit residential or industrial development, and both tracts carry potential for carbon capture leases. The bayou frontage opens the door to a conservation easement or mitigation banking.
Bayou Din Golf Course is close by. Taylors Bayou, the J.D. Murphree WMA, McFaddin Beach, Sea Rim State Park and Pleasure Island are all within reach.

The farm sits inside the West Jefferson County Municipal Water District, with rural water service available to the tract.

That frontage opens a few paths: a conservation easement, mitigation banking, or recreational use along the water.
Wildlife & Agriculture
LaBelle Farm is one large contiguous tract. LaBelle Road runs the full eastern boundary and Blewett Road forms the northern boundary, with paved county-road access on two sides. Most of the land is open farmland, a mix of improved pasture and leveled fields suited to rice or row crops, about 70 percent open pasture and 30 percent native brush. The tract is perimeter fenced, carries an ag exemption and is under a current rice-farming lease that produces steady revenue.
Investment Notes
The tract carries more than one income and development path. Two major pipeline corridors cross the property, with current and future right-of-way value. Recent private pipeline easements brought rates as high as $3,750 to $4,000 per rod, and a 2025 appraisal valued 564 acres at $8,000 per acre for a public pipeline acquisition.
The size of the holding, its distance to Beaumont and the utility access suit residential or industrial development. Both tracts also carry potential for future carbon capture leases, and the Bayou Din frontage brings a conservation easement or mitigation banking into play. Through all of it the rice lease keeps paying on ag-exempt ground.
