After 24 years with the FBI chasing fugitives and fighting terrorism, Rob Woloszyn never imagined his next chapter would involve making candles. But at Republic Grand Ranch Willis Texas, this Marine veteran found something unexpected: peace, purpose, and an incredible community. Rob runs Willis Candle Shop from his two-acre property, surrounded by 500 pine trees with neighbors who embody true Texas hospitality. His story proves that sometimes the best adventures come after retirement.

Republic Grand Ranch hosts its Parade of Homes and Land Sale event October 11-12 in Willis, Texas. This may be your last opportunity to purchase large acreage at pre-development pricing in Montgomery County’s fastest-selling acreage community. Tour beautifully designed model homes, meet trusted builders, and explore scenic homesites. Located just 20 miles from The Woodlands, Republic Grand Ranch offers the perfect blend of luxury forest living and modern convenience.

With over 300 homes built and 85% of lots sold, Republic Grand Ranch is approaching the end of its pre-development phase, making now a rare opportunity to own in one of Montgomery County’s most successful acreage communities.

Patten Properties and Republic Grand Ranch proudly welcomed SPC Zach Parker and his family home with a heartfelt celebration, honoring a Helping a Hero home donation and the community that made it all possible.

Thanks to the generous contributions, the foundation has been successfully poured, marking an important step in a project that will provide a custom-built accessible home for a true American hero.

Patten Properties introduces the ‘Where The Forest Meets Luxury’ development at Republic Grand Ranch. The newest addition features 4 to 10-acre homesites and custom-built homes designed with nature in mind.

Republic Grand Ranch is making the American dream a reality for SPC Zach Parker, a triple amputee and retired Army Specialist, by gifting his family a beautiful two-acre lot as part of the 100 Homes Challenge.

In just one week, the community sold over 40 lots, surpassing all expectations and demonstrating the remarkable demand from prospective land buyers. “Half of everyone who came out last week, ended up buying” said Gary Hoven, of Republic Grand Ranch.

“There continues to be a high demand for acreage in Texas,” says Gary Sumner, Developer of Republic Grand Ranch. “Quality of life is better when you love where you live. And our residents fall in love as soon as they drive in. It’s a magical setting.”
