Location

The ranch is located a short distance off FM 624, approximately 35 road-miles southeast of Cotulla on the LaSalle & McMullen county line. Approximate drive distances are 100 miles for San Antonio 90 for Corpus Christi and Laredo, and 215 for Houston. Commercial air service is available in San Antonio, Corpus, and Laredo, while the Cotulla-LaSalle County airport is a short drive away and is jet capable.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

The combination of the ranch’s shape, rolling terrain, and dense browse makes this ranch feel and hunt much bigger than its actual size. Elevations range from 310 feet on the northern portion of the ranch, to 370 feet on the gravelly hilltops in the southern portion of the ranch. Approximately 75% of the soils are clay, while the remainder of the ranch is lighter, sandy ground.

This ranch features excellent, diverse browse including guyacan, guajillo, blackbrush, brasil, and mesquite. The current owner has created winding senderos in some brushier portions of the ranch with a roller chopper/aerator and rotates the brush-hogging of these paths so that there is always some fresh growth available for browse and native grass habitat for the quail.

Green Branch Creek runs across the ranch for a little over a mile. Generally speaking, it is a wet weather creek, but tends to hold scattered pools, and features a good stretch of over a half-acre that has been dug out to create a great water feature. There are several small dove tanks, and water troughs fed by the well have been distributed across the ranch.

Wildlife

All the expected South Texas game is here: deer, dove, bobwhite and blue quail, turkeys, hogs, and varmints are on the ranch, but this is first and foremost a trophy whitetail property. The current owner has established an enviable whitetail herd through top end genetics, feeding, and management. The high fencing is in good shape, and there is a 5± acre DMP pen.

Improvements

A reclaimed asphalt road leads from the gate to the 3:3 ranch house. Built in 2021, the house features ±2,600 SF of living area plus a nice covered porch, with high end finish out, and additional perks such as a mud/wash room and wet bar. There is comfortably room for four vehicles under the adjacent carport.

The equipment barn is ±3,200 SF under roof, and includes a well designed cleaning station with walk-in cooler, and an insulated bay. There is an additional ±1,600 SF covered equipment storage shed.

Blinds, feeders, a hunting truck, feed bin, feed buggy, and most home furnishings will convey.

Water

Well water is provided via a shared well (with partial ownership), located on the west edge of the property. This water supplies the camp and game troughs spread about the ranch. There are several small tanks, and the wet weather Green Branch Creek crosses the northern portion of the ranch, and features a very nice, dug out tank. That tank, and one other, have been stocked with bass.

Minerals

Current owner is not believed to own any minerals. There is no oilfield surface activity on this ranch at the time of this writing, nor during the current owner’s occupancy. There are two pipelines that run along the farthest northwest fence line.
