Water: One of the most outstanding features of the ranch is provided by 3 miles of year round Pinto Creek, which flows through the property year round. There are two concrete dams built on the creek for swimming and lake enjoyments and plenty of room for more water development. Along the 3 miles of water, you will find majestic rock bluffs, running rapids, natural waterfalls, and outstanding fishing for largemouth bass and catfish. The water is very clear and has a substantial year round flow. Along the entire 3 miles of creek, you will find giant pecan and live oak trees. In addition to the creek, there are 4 domestic water wells on the ranch and an elaborate watering system, which provides water for the wildlife and cattle. In addition, there are 5 big irrigation wells which flow artesian water. These wells could be used for irrigation or lake enhancement.
Wildlife: high fenced since 1984. The ranch provides a hunting paradise that will be hard to match anywhere in South Texas. There are trophy deer on the ranch today that score over 170. The wildlife is protein fed year round. There is also superb quail hunting, white wing dove hunting, and good winter duck hunting along the creek. Turkey populations thrive on the ranch due to the abundance of live water and big trees along the creek. There is also a trophy herd of axis deer and blackbuck antelope on the ranch, which provides an additional source of year round hunting.
