Forming an Alliance:

TEXAS Alliance of Land Brokers Boerne, Texas – July 27, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TALB RECORDS INCREASED MEMBERSHIP, ANNOUNCES FUTURE MEETING DATES AND CHRISTMAS BANQUET The Texas Alliance of Land Brokers continues a steady growth trend, with an active expansion initiative ongoing in SE Texas to create a new chapter. The current membership total now exceeds 270, up from the previous record of about 225, and the SE Texas group has formed a leadership committee headed up by Deitra Robertson, and secretary Chris George, of Deitra Robertson Properties. Two SE Texas-area meetings have now been held, and the most recent, at El Jarrito in Katy area, attracted 60 on a rainy day to hear the venerable Judon Fambrough of the Texas Real Estate Center speak on groundwater issues and regulations. The next SE Texas lunch meeting is slated for Tuesday, August 14 at the County Line on Lake Conroe, and all area rural real estate professionals are invited to attend! Regular meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of each month are now being planned for satellite locations around Houston.

The Founding Chapter (Central Texas) continues their monthly meetings on the 4th Wednesday of the month, with future locations such as Grady’s in San Antonio and Matt’s El Rancho in Austin, already booked. The most recent meeting at The Preserve at Walnut Springs, a very nice “cluster” development with over 1,500 acres of shared open space, was addressed

by TWA’s Senior Policy Analyst, Kirby Brown, one of our favorite speakers. He covered the full gamut of property rights issues—from groundwater to public utilities to private ownership of wildlife—and answered many pertinent questions at the conclusion of his presentation.

A very special Christmas banquet, featuring the father-son duo of Mike and Doc Blakely, is scheduled for Thursday, December 13, 2012 at the Omni Hotel in NW San Antonio on Interstate 10. These talented fellows will take us down a musical “trail” of Western lore and songs that should be unforgettable. A gourmet meal will be served, bars will be open, and nice rooms will be available for those wishing to stay over and do some Christmas shopping at discount rates for TALB. Generous sponsors are stepping up to minimize the event cost to members, which will be minimal.

The TALB was established in 1994. More information is available at www.texaslandbrokers.org.

Texas regional land market price trends in 2011 reflected variations in market dynamics. The Panhandle, West Texas and Wichita Falls areas posted price improvements, while northeast and Central Texas prices lagged behind 2010 levels.

Demand for transitional and development tracts weakened and recreational land buyers were scarce.

At 472 reported sales, volume of activity lagged below the long-term average. However, the slow pace of sales occurred partly because high commodity prices prompted many current owners to refrain from selling. That left would-be buyers to compete for limited available supplies.

Verdant, rolling valleys move toward the horizon as ancient live oaks arc and spiral skyward. Pristine privacy far from neighbors combines with the sounds and sights of native birds and wildlife. And historic stone and wood landmarks blend with a host of modern improvements.

M arilyn H offman the one hundred million dollar realtor  ’ expertise in selling extraordinary farms, ranches and estate properties attracts a clientele that reads like a Who’s Who of business, sports, entertainment and the social register. Golfer Lee Trevino, a Saudi Prince, sports legend Deion Sanders, transportation secretary Milo Bryant, a billionaire Texas oilman, Horatio Alger Member, Carl Westcott, cosmetics queen Mary Kay, Merv Griffin, and a major sports team owner have all been her clients.

Marilyn recently made history by listing the most expensive home in Texas, a $100,000,000 property. She also sold one of the largest estates in Texas to the new owners of a major sports team. Her sale of a $9,995,000 Penthouse in Dallas was the most expensive penthouse ever sold in Dallas.

Marilyn sold a $13,500,000 estate to the owners of a Scottish castle. Her most recent sale was a $20,000,000 estate that she listed, sold and closed for full price in 24 days. This 35,000 sq. ft. home was the largest and most expensive sale in the state. This estate was previously listed with another international realtor at a lower price and did not sell.

“Marilyn’s aggressive approach to the international marketing of the property resulted in a completed transaction in five months from start to finish. I’m hasten to add that the prior agencies failed completely to do any effective marketing of Brantley Manor, although I did spend a substantial upfront marketing fee with them.”

Marilyn sold one of the most famous Hill country ranches, the Double Diamond Ranch, with 2,000 acres, 20 homes and an exotic game preserve.

Gutierrez

Ranch and Cattle Company

T

he 72,000-acre Gutierrez Cattle Company is one of Oregon’s premier large cattle operations. From the magnificent, deep timber-covered canyons of the North Fork of the Crooked River, to the hayfields and lakes of the Rabbit Valley,

including all the big country in between, the ranch reflects the pride of ownership and the touch of a cattleman’s vision.

Located an easy 85 miles east of Bend/Redmond area, the ranch consists of 21,529± deeded acres, plus another 50,000 acres of Ochoco National Forest and BLM grazing permits. The ranch is operated as a working cattle ranch with an ownerrated carrying capacity of 2,400 animal units. Currently, the ranch has 2,200± breeding females including replacement heifers, in addition to bulls and saddle horses. The productive irrigated lands produce over 6,000 tons of hay in a typical year, with the pivots grazed after the hay has been taken off. Historically, the ranch has been run as a cow/calf operation, utilizing the 71,529 acres for grazing and hay production. The calves typically average 600 pounds at weaning. However, for the stocker operator with very little effort, the ranch could be converted to run yearlings with gains estimated to be 300 to 350 pounds. The ranch is fenced and cross-fenced into many pastures and the management has had the focus to maintain the range in quality condition, allowing plenty of feed for livestock and wildlife alike. The grazing permits are literally

64

Volume 65 Texas Farm&Ranch

Oregon v Crook County v Post “out the back door” on the north end of the ranch. The ranch has irrigated and sub-irrigated pastures and meadows and approximately eight upland grazing pastures. The numerous pastures allow for rotational grazing. Conservation stewardship practices have been aggressively employed to enhance livestock production and wildlife habitat. Eleven pivots (eight fenced) provide additional summer and fall grazing after the hay has been harvested. Nearly every pasture has live water from creeks or springs and additional water improvements include year-round creeks, developed springs and 15 ponds. The Gutierrez Cattle Company is recognized as a leading producer in the cattle industry. It is every bit as well known for its hunting, fishing and general recreation. There are seven elk tags and seven buck tags available to the ranch each year, plus additional permits can be applied for. With the opportunity to take bull elk that can score in the 350 plus range and mule deer that can score in the 170 to 200 class, the ranch is a big game hunter’s dream. At times the elk herd can number over 800 head. It is not unusual to see 200-300 head of antelope and several head of mule deer when driving through the area of the ranch known as Rabbit Valley. The privacy of the ranch is unmatched with approximately 28,000 acres behind locked gates and holds some of the best habitat in the Crooked River drainage.

In addition during the early 1990s a timber cruise completed on the North Fork of the Crooked River parcels reflected over 1,200,000 board feet of merchantable timber at that time. This, plus current estimates for timber in the Paulina Creek drainage and other areas of the ranch, bring the total to an estimated 2,000,000± board feet.

build! The home has approximately 4,500 square feet of living space that includes a huge master suite as well as two other suites (both with private baths). A massive living room with a vaulted exposed-beam ceiling, floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace and full bar is at the heart of this home.

There is also a banquet-size dining room, home office with custom-built cabinetry, craft room, large utility room and a three-car finished garage with a half-bath.

The large covered back porch is closer to an outdoor living room than anything else.

When you get hungry, just fire up the grill in the covered outdoor kitchen and create a culinary delight.

Mill Creek Ranch Central Texas v Leon Co. v Marquez

S

Showplace: the word that best describes this 383-acre ranch located just outside the little town of Marquez. The custom rock and pipe entrance with automatic security gate off the county road gives you a sneak peek as to what the rest of the place is going to look like. There are several miles of crushed limestone roads throughout this place with 20+ cattle guards so you don’t have to open any gates. The very unique topography has an amazing elevation relief that supports several different hilltop views where you can see for miles. The composition of woods and improved pastures is very handsome and complements this land as the perfect combination cattle/hunting ranch. All of the interior fences are regular height cattle fences, but the entire perimeter is under game-proof high fence with the coyote wire along the bottom to keep the bad guys out. The owner has introduced some superior whitetail genetics and has managed the place for several years. The pastures are divided into grazing pastures and lush hay meadows that have been treated with the utmost care and attention for years; the hard work really shows. The improvements are first class all the way. The 2,950-square-foot main house is a custom-built stone and stucco home with a huge gourmet kitchen, open living area with stone fireplace, large utility room, half bath, and a spacious master suite all on the first floor with stained concrete floors. The second floor has two more bedrooms with a loft area in between. A huge breezeway is also an outdoor entertainment area that connects the main house to the 415-square-foot guesthouse with bedroom, bath and kitchenette. Another house, called the “the north house”, is 2,000± square feet and in excellent shape. The houses are hooked up to Concord Robbins Community water and have DSL for high speed Internet. The shop, located behind the main house, is a 30x50 metal building on a slab with a 15-foot awning and concrete apron that surrounds it. There are several tractor and equipment sheds, as well as hay/storage barns. The working pens for the cattle are top notch with a catch trap system that has had some serious thought put into their construction. For the whitetail, there is a soft release pen and several blinds and feeders for hunting. There are three nice-size ponds, two of them being connected to a 4" water well for maintaining the water level during hot dry summers. Mill Creek Ranch is a genuine showplace where all the hard work has been done. All you need to do is load up friends and family, come up to the country and enjoy the good life! $2,295,000.

Under the vision of William E. and Desiree B. Moore, founders of the Kelly-Moore Paint Company, 20 years were spent assembling this massive landholding. Spread across three counties, the Ranch was carefully shaped and improved by the Moores to create this productive enterprise.

The Broken O currently carries approximately 4,500 animal units. The Ranch contains the largest block of irrigated land in Montana – about 13,000 acres – historically averaging around 25,000 tons of alfalfa hay and 700,000 bushels of small-grain crops annually. Over 20 miles of the beautiful Sun River flow through the Ranch, offering prime irrigation benefits as well as amazing recreational assets. The

Sun River corridor provides exceptional trout fishing, big-game hunting, as well as extensive upland game bird and waterfowl populations. The Broken O Ranch is offered turn-key, including all livestock, hay and grain inventories at the time of sale, plus machinery and equipment, for $132,500,000.
