There are beautiful breathtaking sunset views from the headquarters compound. The current owner has recently gone to great expense in improving the ranch such as: extensive brush clearing to reclaim pastures, improvements to some of the existing ponds and lakes, extensive improvements to existing water wells. A very clean ranch with no oil or gas wells, large neighbors, no easements, and paved road frontage.

The water capacity and infrastructure that is in place is a very valuable asset to this amazing ranch.
HABITAT: This amazing ranch has exceptional topography consisting of approximately 60% sandy loam and sandy clay with the remaining 40% in gravel hills with elevations over 800 feet. There are approximately 250-300 acres of some of the finest improved pastures in all of South Texas with buffel grass, coastal Bermuda, and native grasses.

Wildlife: High fenced for over 20 years the ranch has been involved in the TPWD MLDP program since the early 2000s. The Whitetail deer on this ranch have been intensively quality managed. In fact the current owner on Sept. 15, 2023 introduced some new South Texas genetics to the ranch. 10 huge bucks over 200+ BC and 20 bred does with superb genetics were purchased from DM Ranch Whitetails (Don Green and Mark Schweers) and released on the ranch. DM Ranch Whitetails are considered one of the very best quality South Texas deer breeders. There is excellent dove hunting, great quail hunting at times, and wild turkey. There are very good deer blinds and feeders and excellent roads and wide senderos. This ranch has been highlighted on various TV hunting shows in the past.

The property is currently under AG-Exemption.
