About this property

The ranch features an impressive combination of diverse terrain with hearty grasses, scattered mesquite motts and sandy loam soil, ideal habitat for bobwhite quail which are regularly seen on tours. The central portion of the ranch is a classic mix of high protein browse species, essential for growing big whitetail deer. The entire ranch can be utilized for grazing livestock which is what the property has been utilized for in recent years. Perimeter fencing is in good condition with approximately 75% being high-fence and the remaining 25% being low-fenced. The ranch has not been hunted in over 3 years, creating a prime opportunity for new owners to enjoy abundant native game including whitetail deer, javelina, hogs, bobwhite quail and dove as well as the occasional exotic including audad and axis deer. From encounters on recent tours, the native game numbers appear to be healthy.
