Dos Colinas - Bee County, Tulsita, TX
A great mix of prime browse, rolling topography, scattered oaks, ample water, and good soils make the Dos Colinas Ranch one to see for buyers looking for a high fenced ranch that they can put their own finishing touches on. This ranch is a great opportunity to shape a ranch into just what the new owner would like it to be, while benefiting from significant work by the current owner in the way of water development, enhancement of the deer herd, and the introduction of exotics.
Key Attributes
Location
Located just 20 miles north of the conveniences of Beeville, in northern Bee County, Dos Colinas Ranch is approximately 180 miles from Houston, 125 miles from Austin, and 75 miles from San Antonio and Corpus Christi.
Topography, Rangeland & Habitat
Located in the northern reaches of the South Texas Brush Country, this area averages approximately 30 inches of rainfall per year. A rolling property with a pair of ±80 foot hills, approximately 75% of the soils are sandy loam and sandy clay loams, excellent for grass for quail habitat and browse for deer. Elevations range from 370’ – 480’. There is ample water for wildlife spread around the ranch via 5 well-fed tanks and several troughs.
Along with the hardwoods and mesquites, there is high quality browse including guallio, blackbrush, guyacan, granjeno, brasil, and lime prickly ash, among others. Grasses are predominantly a mix of natives such as windmill, side oats gramma, and three-awn.
Wildlife
At the time of this writing, there are twenty bred does fawning in the soft release pen. These does and the breeder bucks are South Texas genetics, and should produce some exceptional bucks. Additionally, there is a herd of 11 scimitar-horned oryx that are a mix of mature and younger (currently pre-breeding age) animals. As a bonus, there are at least a couple of Axis does on property.
The turkey population on this ranch and area in general is excellent, and dove hunting can be great, particularly at the tanks. On a recent, short walk through some of the medium-thick country, several pairs of quail were flushed, which is not surprising given the soils and habitat.
Improvements
There are no vertical improvements on the ranch. There are multiple locations with electrical and water access that would make good homesites.
Water
There are two electric wells and one solar installed by the current owner in 2024, plus an older electric well. All are piped to troughs and or small tanks spread around the ranch to insure water is close by for game.
Minerals
Surface only (owner has no minerals). There are two older gas wells on the property that are active.
