Texas Farm & Ranch, vol 109

When Return on Investment = Return on Life

Re-imagining 1031 Exchanges

In the words of Yogi Berra… “If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll get there every time.” As 77 million baby boomers brace for retirement, the road to financial security is paved with uncertainty. For most active landlords and property owners, the question looms large of how to reposition highly-appreciated real estate into sustainable streams of passive monthly income. Most investment real estate owners have worked a lifetime for Return on Investment. However, at this stage of life, the goal is to transform self-managed property into versatile lifestyle income that can be used for “living or giving.” We

call this “Return on Life.”

According to the USDA Farms and Land Summary Report dated February 2022, there are more than 2,000 private farms and ranches in the U.S. representing over 1 billion acres and an estimated value of nearly $3 Trillion. In light of changing business models and aging demographics, we believe that property owners are focused on profitable exit

strategies. In making a hold versus sell decision, one fact remains the same. You’ve worked a lifetime to accumulate wealth, now the goal is to keep it. Simply stated, the objective of most investors is to Preserve Capital and Protect Cash Flow.

Under IRS 1031 exchange rules, investment property sellers can defer capital gain taxes provided they reinvest proceeds into another investment property or properties. For most investors, a 1031 exchange starts with tax deferral. After all, taxes represent a permanent loss of capital as well as reduced earning power. However, as financial history demonstrates, we believe it is far more important to focus on investment fundamentals than tax advantages. All real estate is not created equal. Investors should remember that a 1031 exchange is an investment strategy first…and a tax strategy second.

One of the fastest growing segments of the broader 1031 exchange market is the alternative

Delaware Statutory Trust or “DST” for short.1 The DST is a real estate trust that allows individual property investors to acquire beneficial ownership in one or more highquality, income-producing properties, with professional third-party management. Much like “Legos,” individual DST property interests can be combined to create highly diversfied and personalized income & growth portfolios that match each investor’s specific risk tolerance and investment objectives.

DSTs can be offered as either all-cash investments, or partially leveraged investments with no personal recourse debt. Existing and available properties represent most major asset classes and diverse investment strategies, including: Class “A” multifamily residential communities, industrial properties, diversified healthcare assets, selfstorage facilities, and demand driven essential properties backed by long term leases, credit-worthy tenants, and proven business formats. Depending on investment amount and personal preference, Petra can allocate to each of these asset classes for customized portfolio construction and optimized risk management.

investors.

While there is always risk to real estate investing, DSTs are offered as securitized real estate that must pass through multiple levels of due diligence and underwriting before being offered to qualified

Long ago, when dinosaurs still walked the earth and I was a sophomore at the University of Texas at Austin, some buddies and I made plans over a pitcher of beer at Scholtz’s Garden to mount a camping expedition to Enchanted Rock, between Llano and Fredericksburg.

Shortly thereafter, we found ourselves hiking up the “easy side” of that magnificent mountain (okay, maybe it’s really a large hill), packing in water, tents, and sleeping bags.

We made a point of scheduling the trip during a full moon, and I’ll never forget that moonrise across the windswept granite, or the sharp scent of cedar filling the air, or—even though it was long ago—the diadem of stars suspended overhead, so very close you could almost touch them.

As Texas celebrates the 100th anniversary of our State Parks, I realize now that we were following the directive of Governor Pat Neff, who, when he created the first Texas State Parks Board in 1923, expressed his hope that the eventual parks—including the Enchanted Rock State Natural Area—would provide outdoor spaces where Texans “might go and forget the anxiety and strife and vexation of life’s daily grind.”

The very first state park was created after the Governor’s mother, Isabella Neff, donated six acres on the Leon River southwest of Waco to which a local benefactor named F.P. Smith added another 259 acres. Mrs. Neff was nicknamed Mother Neff by the cowboys to whom she offered food, coffee, and motherly comfort as they came up the Chisholm Trail, hence the name of the first Texas park: Mother Neff State Park.

In a state where 95% of the land mass is privately owned, the park system eventually fulfilled the Governor’s vision, expanding to 50 parks and over 630,000 acres. When President Roosevelt created the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933 to send unemployed Americans back to work, it built infrastructure still visible today at Garner State Park, Palo Duro Canyon State Park, and Balmorhea State Park.

If any of y’all decide to get out and celebrate the centennial by visiting some of our parks, you may want to spend some time with Texas Frontier column, “Indian Raids,” you go. Many of the battles and skirmishes he writes about took place near one of the state parks that may be on your itinerary. And if Enchanted Rock is on your list, you may want to wait for a full moon.

Josey Armstrong's twin boys are outside from sunrise to sundown, just like she was at their age.

Days were spent with her grandmother helping on the ranch, roaming pastures and riding horses from dawn to dusk. Now that she has twin boys of her own, Josey is teaching them the same lessons she learned on the same land where she grew up. That sense of legacy, of keeping family on generational land, is what brought Josey and her husband to Heritage Land Bank. When Josey and her husband Chase shared their perspective on how they wanted their boys to grow up, our team completely understood and went to work.

After looking at their family’s goals and overall financial position, our team customized a loan package for the Armstrong family that most banks simply won’t write.

Now, as Josey sees more of herself in her boys every day, she understands what her grandmother saw in her and just how important it is to pass the land down to the next generation.

the TEXAS FRONTIER

INDIAN RAIDS

For hundreds of years the Comanche were a part of the Shoshone tribe living in Wyoming and Montana. Once the Comanches acquired horses, their greater mobility and access to new hunting grounds led them south making their way into Texas in the late 1700s.

Almost immediately, the Comanches dominated every Indian tribe. They came close to wiping out the Apaches and constant raids into a more populated Mexico singlehandedly brought the migration of Mexicans into Texas to a halt.

The Comanches were always on the move following the buffalo that provided them food, clothing and shelter. The Comanche grew in number because of their raids into Mexico where they kidnapped women and children. These raids into Mexico resulted in

one-third of the Comanche nation bearing Hispanic heritage.

The Comanches were brutal and feared by everyone. When their warriors were killed, they felt honor-bound to exact a revenge and that resulted in torture killings that knew no boundaries.

In 1836, an early settler family called the Parkers had joined other families in building a stockade they called Fort Parker near what is known today as Groesbeck in Limestone County. One hundred mounted Comanche Indians approached the fort waving a white flag.

Benjamin Parker went outside the gate to meet the Comanches. He was suddenly surrounded and they drove their spears through him. The Indians then surged

By Mark Hanna

toward the fort and burst inside before Silas Parker could bolt the gate. Silas was immediately killed and his father and mother quickly killed and dismembered. Silas’ wife and four children tried to run but they were all captured and taken away.

One of those captured was 9-year-old Cynthia Ann Parker. She spent most of her life a part of the Comanche tribe and married Chief Peta Nocona. Their son, Quanah Parker, would become one of the prominent Comanche chiefs and war leaders.

In 1840, the various tribes of Comanches and Kiowa Apaches agreed to become allies after bitter in-fighting, the successes of Texas Rangers against them and devastating bouts with smallpox. Both tribes knew they would have to join forces to fight as one against the

Fort Parker

ever increasing encroachment of American settlers coming into Texas.

The Comanches agreed to peace talks with Texas government officials in San Antonio on March 19, 1840. The Texans demanded that the Comanches abandon Central Texas, cease interfering with Texan incursions and avoid all White settlements.

A total of 33 Comanche chiefs and warriors accompanied by 32 other Comanches, including some women and children, arrived for the peace talks. Texas officials had hoped the Comanches would bring many, if not most of the white women and children the Indians had been holding hostage. Instead, the Comanches brought a Mexican boy and a 16 year old white girl named Matilda Lockhart. Matilda and her sister were captured in 1838.

Officials were shocked when they saw Matilda. Her entire body was battered, burned and bruised with sores. Her nose had been literally burned off. She described the horrors of how she had been tortured by both the men and women.

When Matilda said there were at least 15 other captives like her left behind, Texas lawmakers immediately ordered the arrests of the Comanche chiefs. When the Comanches realized what was happening, they began fighting their way out with bows and arrows and knives. But they were surrounded by soldiers who opened fire. Twelve Comanche leaders were killed inside the Council House, while 23 others were shot and killed in the streets of San Antonio. Thirty Comanches were taken captive. Seven Texans including two judges were killed in the melee.

When word of what became known as the Council House Massacre got back to the Comanche tribe, all of their captives were killed and Comanche chief Buffalo Hump launched a massive raid of an estimated 600 warriors, whose deadly trek started at the Edwards Plateau in West Texas and went all the way to the Texas coast. The Comanches raided several cities including Victoria and Linnville. At the time, Linnville was the second largest port in Texas and Indians burned it to the ground. The city never recovered.

At least 25 settlers were killed and several were taken captive including the granddaughter of Daniel Boone, who was later killed by her captors. During the massive raid Comanches captured a huge herd of horses and mules as well as firearms and a cache of mirrors, liquor and cloth.

Texans responded with what led to the Battle of Plum Creek on August 12, 1840. On their way back from the coast, the Comanches were chased by a group of 200 armed settlers, many of them Texas Rangers and Tonkawa Indians who were marked as allies by wearing a white arm band. After a one hundred mile chase, the two sides confronted each other at Good’s Crossing on Plum Creek near the town of Lockhart. The running gun battle continued all the way to San Marcos. The Comanches lost 80 chiefs and warriors while only one Texan was killed and seven injured. This battle ended the Comanche penetration of settled portions of south Texas.

While peace may have settled in for settlers, such as the hundreds of Germans and Czechs who migrated into south and south central Texas, settlers trying to make a living in north Texas were frequently targeted by bands of marauding Comanches. An estimated 200 settlers were killed each year by Indians. Settlers first built stockades, or private forts, as a way of defending themselves, but much more protection was needed.

With the annexation of Texas, the U.S. Army began building forts for protection. The state’s first fort was built in Brownsville in 1845 to deal with Mexican forces, but four years later, an entire line of forts were built in north Texas to deal with the Comanches. A second line of forts was built further west to defend the increasing number of settlers coming into Texas.

In the 1850s, bands of Comanche warriors were terrorizing north Texas settlers. These new Texans were wanting to stake claim to what had been prize Comanche hunting grounds. While U.S. Government officials in Washington were trying their best to make peace with the Comanches and provide them protection, settlers were under almost constant attack.

The protection provided by federal troops was not enough and the creation of the Texas Rangers was a tremendous boost to keeping the Comanches in check. Texas Rangers rode horseback and could ride as well as Comanches. The Rangers were also equipped with the new Colt six-shooter and allied with the Tonkawa Indians. The Rangers were so effective that the federal government paid them for their services.

In 1854, the U.S. Army opened the first of three Indian reservations near Fort Belknap. The reservations were hundreds of acres of land set aside for the various tribes to farm

AN ESTIMATED 200 SETTLERS WERE KILLED EACH YEAR BY INDIANS

and ranch. The U.S. Government gave the Indians thousands of dollars in supplies to build themselves a new protected place to live. In a perfect world with perfect weather, the federal project may have worked, but Texas weather wasn’t cooperating with the project and neither were the Indians, especially the Comanches. Settlers who lived near the reservations had ongoing skirmishes with the Indians, who often raided nearby farms and ranches and then returned to the reservations for cover. The continuous fighting only led to more distrust and anger.

In 1858, a large contingent of Texas Rangers and Tonkawa Indians began tracking Comanches who were responsible for deadly raids in north Texas. The Rangers pursued Comanches into Indian Territory in southern Oklahoma, where the Comanches had a permanent camp that was supposedly protected. The Rangers followed the Comanches to Little Robe Creek where 200 armed Texans fought 600 Comanches. The fight left 80 Comanches dead and only one Ranger.

As a settler in north Texas you stayed armed whether you were traveling or working. You

were always watching for Indians who not only killed unsuspecting settlers, but took their scalps as well.

On June 15, 1860, Josephus and Frank Browning, were riding outside their ranch in search of cattle, when they stopped to rest in the shade on a hot day near the Clear Fork River in Crystal Falls in Stephens County. Soon, the boys heard Indians coming, so they hurriedly cut the hobbles from their horses and started away. Josephus had problems with his horse and he was soon overtaken and killed. Frank was badly wounded and fell off his horse near Hubbard Creek. His horse, with two arrows sticking in his body, galloped to the ranch. The boy’s father instantly knew that Indians had attacked his sons and he set off with others in back-trailing the pony. They found Frank who was still conscious and able to tell his father what had happened. Frank had shot two of the Indians but he had been shot with arrows 17 times and at least two of the arrows passed completely through his body. Thanks to a doctor nearby at Fort Belknap, Frank recovered, but 20 years later, he succumbed to his wounds.

A group of only six men led by John R. Baylor set out to find the Indians responsible for the Clear Fork raid. The men caught up with the Indians in Haskell County and after a fierce fight, 13 warriors were killed. The scalp of Josephus Browning and that of a frontier lady’s scalp were recovered as well as several horses that had been stolen in Palo Pinto County. When they returned home, Baylor and his men were honored with celebrations and barbecues in Crystal Falls, Palo Pinto and Weatherford.

The Comanches and Kiowa Apaches continued to be pushed further north, but the protection Texas settlers had received from U.S. Army troops disappeared at the start of the Civil War in 1861. Settlers had to rely on Texas Rangers and their own militia to fight the Indians and for the next ten years, Indian raids were relentless and deadly.

The next Texas Frontier will look at the last Indian battles that took place in Texas.

Costa Grande Ranch is located along the Texas Gulf Coast waterfront in Calhoun County just three miles west of Port O’Connor, 75 miles northeast of Corpus Christi, 110 miles southwest of Houston, and 130 miles southeast of San Antonio. The ranch fronts on the south side of state Hwy 185 for over two miles and along the shoreline of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway for 2.5 miles. The ranch also has access from a private, gated ranch community easement through neighboring properties. Totaling 2,805 acres, the Costa Grande Ranch is remarkably diverse

with its scattered mottes of coastal live oak, intact wetlands, coastal prairies, and a range of fishery habitats.

The ranch is high-fenced along the west boundary and lowfenced along the remaining three sides into multiple working pastures. Through a series of raised and constructed roads, mowed lanes, and adjoining public roads, ranch accessibility is favorable. Multiple submersible and solar wells are scattered throughout the ranch and connected through a substantial system of pipes and storage to various locations. The property

2,805± ACRES // SOUTH TEXAS // CALHOUN COUNTY

provides a large equipment barn, sheds, and working/shipping pens on the western portion, with seven individual building sites scattered amongst the ranch. Each site offers endless possibilities for home, guesthouse, pool, or other infrastructure in the future. The tracts were placed under their own conservation easements in 2016 as part of a comprehensive plan to implement a wildlife and landscape conservation strategy while simultaneously preserving and providing for future recreation development and usage. One centrally located, 23-acre portion is an eighth tract is not protected by a conservation easement, but is the prime location for a significant hunting and fishing lodge and waterfront access. Extensive waterfront and private shoreline access creates one of the most recreation rich ranches in Texas! The ranch is located across from the Powderhorn Wildlife Management Area and the future Powderhorn Ranch State Park, in context to others including Matagorda Island WMA, Mad Island WMA, Welder Flats WMA, Guadalupe Delta WMA, three units of Aransas National Wildlife

Refuge, and thousands of acres of private preserves and conservation easements. Additionally, a million acres of state and federal waters for hunting, fishing, and recreation connect them all. The habitats at Costa Grande are very similar to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge. This system is characterized by a diverse complex of soils, and habitat associations, including live oak mottes, coastal prairie, sand barrens, freshwater marshes, and freshwater pothole pond along Live Oak Bayou. Tidal bayous, brackish emergent marshes, saltwater lakes, and channels further enhance the ranch’s biological diversity. This broad soil diversity supports a unique assemblage of native grasses, forbs, brush, and trees. It is home to a wide array of wintering waterfowl, shorebirds, and waterbirds such as ducks, geese, cranes, stilts, plovers, egrets, bitterns, and herons. Fishing on the ranch and in adjacent waters is world class. Redfish, trout, flounder, and drum are all part of the fishery that makes Port O’Connor a fishing destination. With the jettied pass out into the Gulf, offshore fishing for billfish, snapper, ling, and tuna are all possible. Significant improvements have been made in habitat management, infrastructure, and wildlife management. Prescribed burning has been an ideal tool for coastal prairie management and regular use of it has had significant impact on the health of the native range. Ranching livestock has been the traditional use of this ranch over past generations and is still a part of the management and use of the ranch today. In 2020, the properties were enrolled with the Texas Wetland Prairie Program, a cooperative led by US Fish and Wildlife Service, NRCS, and Ducks Unlimited for assistance in enhancing and restoring coastal wetlands. This has allowed for enhancements for over 38 acres of wetlands and installing/ upgrading water wells to ensure controlled flooding can occur. This objective is for waterfowl, as well as threatened and rare species to find migratory refuge on the ranch. $3,850 per acre or $10,799,250.

The 17,132-acre Rancho Agua Grande, located 25 miles northwest of Uvalde, is one of largest live-water ranches for sale in Texas. Year-round Live Oak Creek, fed by more than 30 springs, bisects the ranch from north to south for about seven miles. The ranch is home to Boiling Mountain, the highest peak in Uvalde County, and Salmon Peak, the highest point in Kinney County. Because three ecoregions converge on the ranch, the vegetation is diverse. Wildlife gathers to drink at Live Oak Creek, making it easy to view some of the approximately 60 species of exotics that roam the ranch. Native game includes whitetail, turkey, dove, and limited quail. Rancho Agua Grande is considered one of the nation’s premier hunting destinations.

Sitting on the headwaters of Myrtle Creek, in a ruggedly beautiful box canyon in Bandera County, the BW Ranch offers live-water and some of the most magnificent views in the country. The 1,874.83-acre ranch, which fronts FM 2828, is just 12 miles from Bandera, 17 miles from Kerrville, and 42 miles from San Antonio. In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include an expansive, stunning view-shed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys, and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville, and Medina. The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake while pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands and a lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, the desirable browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife. Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove, and Bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of 50± bison graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow, and sika deer also call the ranch home, along with coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, and a host of non-game species and songbirds. Two Longhorns also roam the ranch; one with near world-record length horns of 13.5 feet. The year-round Myrtle Creek brings life-giving crystalline water to the property. It feeds nine dammed ponds, making water easily accessible for wildlife. An 8±-acre, spring-fed lake— stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills, and sun perch—is arguably the recreational focal point. Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station, and a pontoon boat, allow family and friends to take advantage of the clear, inviting water. The ranch boasts a second spring-fed lake, which is smaller and stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun. The three-bed, two-bath ranch house features native limestone, which defines the exterior and interior flourishes including the impressive fireplace. Built with an eye for simple and comfortable elegance, the bright and airy home combines soaring ceilings, shiplap, warm

wood accents, Saltillo tiles, and oversized windows. The sunroom, which overlooks a pond surrounded by a bounty of native vegetation, unites outside with inside. The home’s open floor plan includes a well-appointed kitchen, living room, and trophy room; all aesthetically designed to invite gathering. Building sites, with exceptional views, abound. The possibilities for creating a livable masterpiece built to the new owner’s taste and specifications are limitless. A nearby open-air pavilion, reminiscent of old-time Hill Country dance halls, takes the party outside. The pavilion, which follows the architectural theme of the main house, includes a full kitchen and large fireplace. The comfortable three-bed, two-bath caretaker’s quarters with a full kitchen and large porches is situated nearby. Currently, it is used for employee housing, but could host overflow guests. More than 25 miles of improved roads stretch to the highest peaks and most far flung corners providing complete, easy access. The insulated main barn— approximately 40x60-feet—was constructed from metal and features four horse stalls, an office with a shower, a tack room, and a tool room. Twelve-foot-tall doors on both ends keep equipment access simple. An equipment barn—approximately 20x45feet—provides a cleaning station with winches, running water, and a walk-in cooler. The Hill Country is known for its live water and breathtaking scenery, but it’s rare to find a ranch that offers both, with plenty of elbow room and convenient location. Call Howard W.
