WHAT WE DO

Hawthorne Capital is a Houston-based private equity firm that pairs Doug Smith’s funds with those of other investors to purchase, subdivide, improve and sell tracts of rural Texas land.

Our unique business model is generating predictable passive income for our investors. Investments are backed by tangible assets, and returns are mirroring the stock market’s long-term trend but without the volatility.

Our managers and advisors have over 100 years of combined real estate investing experience and have bought and sold over $100 million in real estate assets, including over 5,000 acres of rural land.
