Location

One of the many attractive attributes of the ranch is its location. It is located approximately 1 hour west of San Antonio and 10 minutes south of Sabinal. It has paved road access on Hwy 187 and is at the northern tip of the South Texas Plains.

Topography, Rangeland & Habitat

The ranch has a unique mix of habitat within its boundary. The majority of the habitat is untouched mixed South Texas brush. Impressive “bull mesquite” flats exist throughout the ranch. The ranch also has over 2 miles of the Sabinal River on its eastern border. The riparian habitat along the river includes incredible vistas from steep bank tops, large live oaks, cedar elms, and a few cypress trees. The Blanco Creek runs through the property’s western portion, creating additional bottomland habitat. In the middle portion of the property is a guajillo/blackbrush hill rising almost 100’ above the Sabinal River creating views for miles.

Wildlife

The owner has intensely managed for trophy white-tailed deer since he purchased the property. He high-fenced all but approximately 150 acres along the Sabinal River. He also constructed a 5-acre soft-release pen that can be used for a DMP pen. He purchased deer from white-tailed deer breeders for several years and released them within the property. He implemented an intense supplemental feeding program and created an enhanced water distribution system. These practices have also improved the quality of the bobwhite quail population and other wildlife species that exist on the property. The owner has constructed several hunting blinds outside of the high fence which created additional opportunities to hunt hogs, javelina, white-tailed deer and predators for family and guests.

Agriculture

Three dryland food plots exist within the high-fenced portion of the property. These fields are used to plant annual plants that attract dove, quail and deer.

Improvements

Improvements include 2 implement barns, a walk-in cooler, a large inclosed barn, a bardominium, and several fire-pit areas. The large enclosed barn features a concrete floor, several roll-up doors, and large fans for ventilation. The bardominium is attached to the enclosed barn and is 2 stories. It includes several custom features and has a unique architectural exterior appearance. It is a 3 bedroom/3 bath, complete kitchen with a bunkroom.
