Sabinal, TX 78881 - Uvalde County

The South Sabinal River Ranch is a unique opportunity to own 1,682 acres of pristine South Texas brush within an hour of San Antonio with over 2 miles of Sabinal River frontage. Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros has owned and managed this ranch for close to 20 years. His passion for white-tailed deer hunting and his commitment to trophy managing the ranch has produced several trophies over 200. Of the 1,682 acres, approximately 1,525 acres are under high fence.

LOCATION

One of the many attractive attributes of the ranch is its location. It is located approximately 1 hour west of San Antonio and 10 minutes south of Sabinal. It has paved road access on Hwy 187 and is at the northern tip of the South Texas Plains.

TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT

The ranch has a unique mix of habitat within its boundary. The majority of the habitat is untouched mixed South Texas brush. Impressive bull mesquite flats exist throughout the ranch. The ranch also has over 2 miles of the Sabinal River on its eastern border. The riparian habitat along the river includes incredible vistas from steep bank tops, large live oaks, cedar elms, and a few cypress trees. The Blanco Creek runs through the propertys western portion, creating additional bottomland habitat. In the middle portion of the property is a guajillo/blackbrush hill rising almost 100 above the Sabinal River creating views for miles.

WILDLIFE

The owner has intensely managed for trophy white-tailed deer since he purchased the property. He high-fenced all but approximately 150 acres along the Sabinal River. He also constructed a 5-acre soft-release pen that can be used for a DMP pen. He purchased deer from white-tailed deer breeders for several years and released them within the property. He implemented an intense supplemental feeding program and created an enhanced water distribution system. These practices have also improved the quality of the bobwhite quail population and other wildlife species that exist on the property. The owner has constructed several hunting blinds outside of the high fence which created additional opportunities to hunt hogs, javelina, white-tailed deer and predators for family and guests.

AGRICULTURE

Three dryland food plots exist within the high-fenced portion of the property. These fields are used to plant annual plants that attract dove, quail and deer.
