The ranch offers all new game proof fencing, soft release pens, electric gate access, a 3 bedroom home with concrete drive, 2 car garage, wood rail fenced yard, large patio, garden area, manicured lawn, large healthy Oaks and extensive landscaping around the home. The ranch offers a second home that is 4 bedrooms and serves a lodge for hunters and guests. Both homes have recently remodeled with new paint, new flooring throughout, new appliances, new central A/C units, new hot water heaters and other upgrades.
Other improvements at the lodge/headquarters include:
20'x20' covered game cleaning building with hoist, sink and cleaning area. 30'x40' metal equipment building with walk in cooler, ice storage and firewood rack.
An insulated drive through 40'x50' metal shop with full length workbench, roll up doors and serves as equipment storage area.
30'x 75' covered equipment barn with 3 bays for parking and storing ranch equipment and rail container.
The shop and equipment barn have been equipped with a rain collection system that feeds water to a new Pioneer 30,000 gallon metal storage tank.
A newly drilled Trinity well with 1200 gallon concrete storage tank provides water to the home, pens, pond and several water stations.
An electrical power line runs completely through the ranch from north to south. Phone and high speed internet service is in place at both homes.
The ranch consists of two long parallel valleys with over a dozen feeder canyons, offers the near perfect mix of level to sloping bottom land, spring fed canyons, deep fertile bottoms with adequate soils for cultivating hay or food plots, steep majestic hardwood lined hills, limestone bluffs with sheer outcroppings and wide open valleys covered in huge Live Oaks. The deep canyons are home to Spanish Oak, Blue Oak, Cedar Elms, Wild Cherry, Madrone, Sumac, Persimmon and Sycamore. Huge stands of Sycamore line the once live creeks indicating there is still ample subsurface water in each valley for the potential for pond and lake development.
The current owner has developed the ranch to be a Whitetail Deer hunting destination with genetically improved and intensively managed deer herd producing trophy deer. Forty bred whitetail does and two breeder bucks were released on the ranch in 2023, with young trophy bucks already scoring in the 170 range. There are multiple bulk feed stations throughout the ranch and 6 strategically placed hunting blinds and spin cast feeders set up to accommodate hunters.
One of the highlights of the ranch is the exceptional interior road system the owners have created over many years that provides easy access to virtually every part of the ranch. Most of the ranch is easily accessible by 2 WD vehicle and a single tour of the 16+ miles of road system is like a safari, offering a buyer breathtaking views of the Ranch, the Seco Valley, Cascade Valley and hundreds of square miles of the surrounding Hill Country. Words and pictures do not come close. Few ranches offer an interior road system that compares to this ranch. Additionally, the owners have selectively cleared large amounts of Cedar from the property, providing excellent habitat for the large numbers of Whitetail, Turkey, Hogs, Aoudad and many species of Birds and Varmits. The extensive Cedar clearing on the property has made it one of the cleanest ranches available.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer to purchase an exceptional Hill Country ranch that has all the features that make this area so special.
