Location

The ranch is located 3.5 miles northeast of Hebbronville, Texas. Access is a short easement just of Hwy 359.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

The soils on the ranch are all Delmita fine sandy loam. This soil is slightly tighter than some of the sugar sands found further south, but has the ability to retain moisture better during drier periods common in South Texas and produce more consistent quail hunting.

The ranch is a mixture of native grasslands dotted with stands of brush and mesquite and areas with heavier brush species. These are attractive to deer and help protect quail during the extensive summer heat, but they also allow plenty of access for classic quail hunting from quail rigs.

The land is gently rolling topography with over 50’ of relief between the high and low points of the ranch.

Wildlife

Northern Bobwhite Quail:
The primary quarry for hunters on the ranch is bobwhite quail. Much of the ranch is committed to maximizing quail habitat and production through rotational grazing, prescribed burning, and mulching quail strips. The ranch is parceled into 2 pastures to allow for managing the cattle herd to promote consistently high-quality quail populations. Water is distributed efficiently throughout the ranch with nowhere on the property further than a 1/4 mile from a water source. These practices coupled with naturally productive soils, grasses, and brush provide some of the highest quail production you will find.

The Calzones Ranch has developed a system balancing open grasslands and brush conducive to these types of soils that has created what is likely the most consistent wild quail ranch in South Texas.

White-tailed Deer:
The Farias ranch is low-fenced and while little deer hunting has been done on the ranch, it has an abundant population of deer on the ranch with excellent habitat for them.

Rio-Grande Turkey:
Turkeys are found on the ranch.

White-wing & Mourning Dove:
Dove hunting is excellent at the multiple water stations and could be further enhanced with the addition of several ponds should one wish.

Agriculture

With the excellent soils and native grasses being so abundant, the Calzones Ranch is a great cattle ranch with a small set of cattle pens.

Improvements

Good fencing, roads and a small set of pens are on the ranch.

Water

The ranch sits on the Gulf Coast Aquifer and most of the water wells are around 320’ deep and all produce significant water volumes between 30 gpm and 75 gpm.

There is one solar well on the ranch with water distributed to multiple watering sites.

Minerals

There is no production on the entire ranch. Some minerals may be negotiable.

The Calzones Ranch is co-listed between and Republic Ranches, LLC and Dan W Kinsel III Ranch Broker.
