Brackettville, TX 78632(Kinney County)

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THIS PROPERTY: In CY 2004 this ranch was purchased by a father and son partnership, both outdoorsmen and hunters from the Laredo area. Since that time they have invested untold amounts of time, money, labor and management skills toward creation of a very special recreation ranch. The result is a hideaway hunting retreat with easy access, a comfortable year-round hunting lodge and a diverse healthy game population that most hunters can only dream about owning. There has been no livestock on the ranch for the past eight years as it has been converted to Wildlife Management Use for tax purposes.

METHOD OF SALE: The Owner (Seller) has given Thornton Ranch Sales exclusive authorization to market this ranch either intact or in three tracts as shown on the attached U.S.G.S. Topographic Map. The Seller will convey the property by a Special Warranty Deed, provide a standard Owners Policy of Title Insurance and provide a current survey of the property. (Note: Tract 1 has been sold).

DESCRIPTION: This turnkey hunting ranch is located in a transition area where three land masses come together. Specifically, these areas are the Rio Grande Plains (South Texas), the Trans-Pecos (West Texas) and the Edwards Plateau (Hill Country). A diversity of plants, trees and brush from each of these areas grow profusely and provide the kind of habitat highly sought by wildlife biologist and game managers. You will find a happy mixture of Black Brush, Guajillo, Guayacan, Acacia, and Mesquite from South Texas; Tasajillo, Soto and Century Plants from West Texas; Persimmon, Cedar and Agarita from the Hill Country. Additionally, this ranch possesses many characteristics that appeal to most recreational land buyers. Even though located in a sparsely populated area, access is superb via a quiet farm to market road that forms the east boundary line of the property for a linear distance of 2.3 miles. Brackettville, the county seat, is a thirty minute drive from the ranch. Drive time to Del Rio is also about 30 minutes and drive time to Rocksprings is about 45 minutes. This ranch is surrounded by large ranches of 15,000, 25,000 and 1,200 acres. All the highway frontage and Tract 1 are high fenced. There is an abundance of water from a reasonably shallow depth as demonstrated by 5 existing operational water wells (2 electric and 3 windmill). Total control of the mineral, water and air rights will be conveyed to the buyer as hereinafter described. Terrain elevations vary from 1,310 to 1,511 feet above sea level. This elevation variation provides character and a happy mixture of valleys, canyons and high elevation points with views that will take your breath away. Maurice Canyon Creek, a seasonal creek, flows thru the east part of the ranch in a north to south direction for a distance of almost 1.8 miles plus there are 5.6 miles of Maurice Canyon tributaries feeding into it. This creek and its tributaries form a nice valley thru the ranch providing outstanding wildlife habitat. There is about 13.5 miles of good internal ranch roads with all the roads being easily traversable in a two wheel drive vehicle. Seven miles of the roads have been resurfaced with excellent caliche road material taken from two borrow pits on the ranch. Said borrow pits hold water like a jug and would make great fishing ponds if desired. The prolific tree and brush cover provides outstanding wildlife habitat. This ranch is an excellent candidate for high fencing. There are 17 strategically placed hunting blinds, numerous deer corn feeders, 5 bulk demand type gravity flow protein feeders and multiple water troughs. All the above along with a reasonable offering price truly makes this property a buying opportunity.

WILDLIFE, HUNTING, RECREATION: An eight year deer herd management program with a year round protein feeding program has created an enviable whitetail deer herd. Hunting has been limited to immediate family and a few friends. The best deer harvested to date has been a B & C 154 taken two years ago. The wildlife population includes white-tail deer, aoudad sheep, turkey, quail (bob white and blues), dove, hogs, fox, coons, rabbits and miscellaneous varmints. Whether you are a bow hunter, deer hunter, bird hunter, photographer, birdwatcher, outdoorsman, or a student of nature, the wildlife on this fine ranch will keep you challenged and entertained. Trophy deer, some of which are shown in the associated snapshots, are there to be taken. Many Indian artifacts and relics have been found on this ranch with many more yet to be discovered. The ranch offers the opportunity for horse riding with miles of pretty trails to be ridden. Also, varied activities such as hiking, exploring, camping, bird-watching, nature walks, or setting on a hillside with your binoculars and searching for wildlife are all available for the taking. Or, if your desire is to simply get away from it all and enjoy peace, quiet, tranquility and Mother Nature at her best, then this ranch with its comfortable headquarters would be the perfect place to achieve that objective.
