Spectacular 4 Aces Ranch Private Live Water Hunting Preserve

T

Covering Two Counties in the Texas Hill Country

he 4 Aces Ranch is a beautifully managed, fully operational wildlife preserve on 17,117Âą acres stretching

across both Uvalde and Kinney Counties in southwest Texas. It is the single largest, contiguous, live water ranch currently on the market in the Texas Hill Country and is a spectacular opportunity with valuable potential.

The

property

has

a

highly

transitional topography with low rolling hills and deep canyons scattered with live oak and junipers. After a rainy spring in Texas, the ranch is lush, green and alive with the rich scent of pinion pine. Seven miles of Live Oak Creek are fully self-contained on the ranch, running north to south through the middle of Volume 47 Texas Farm&Ranch

the property, behind the ranch headquarters.

The property is loaded with private water, streams, springs, wells and windmills and is a private game park paradise, with a multitude of operational improvements implemented by the owner and a diverse, viable native and exotic wildlife population.

The main residence at the ranch headquarters

is

a

beautiful

five-bedroom,

four-bathroom ranch house with a huge entertaining patio, finished in native limestone, overlooking several of the natural waterfalls on Live Oak Creek. Two of the bedrooms are master suites, one upstairs and one downstairs, and the house is designed with rustic elegance and privacy. A fully updated kitchen

and

comfortable

appointments

throughout the residence provide a welcome rendezvous at the end of a long satisfying hunt or day touring the ranch. The huge back patio is designed for outdoor entertainment with a very large open-air fireplace, large fire pit and a completely covered outdoor bar. This is a wonderful vacation getaway for a busy family on the go or the perfect setting for corporate functions and twilight cocktail parties.

4 Aces is a recreational paradise on the western boundary of prime Texas Hill Country. In addition to Live Oak Creek, Sycamore Creek is largely self-contained on the property, and both are fed by more than 30 freshwater springs. Salmon Peak and Boiling Mountain are the two highest peaks in Uvalde and Kinney Counties, are both fully located on the property and provide a challenging day of hiking. 4 Aces Ranch has a wide array of beautiful trees and South Texas brush, attracting native wildlife and providing good ground cover; at the same time, the owner has cleared close to 10,000 acres of cedar without disrupting the integrity of the land. Throughout the project, long-buried, old homesteads were uncovered, dinosaur tracks discovered and early American cave art found, and there is undoubtedly still more to be explored and unearthed in 50 Indian mounds and countless caves. Miles and miles of paved and improved roads facilitate an extensive range of access to many corners of the property, although the entire property has only been seen from the air in helicopter passes. The entire perimeter of the ranch is

Magnificent Hunting Ranch

W

ith a legendary history and undeniable beauty, this stunning ranch is a Texas treasure and the ultimate sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise.

Set between Del Rio and Rocksprings, this 4,100-acre ranch includes every element desired in a sophisticated turn-key ranch without sacrificing convenience or privacy. Featuring rolling South Texas land (10%) and the dramatic elevations of the Texas Hill Country (90%), this diverse property offers an eclectic mix of native Texas foliage including: shin oak, live oak, Spanish oak, pinion pines, walnut, blue sage and bluestem grasses. This native vegetation not only accentuates the panoramic views once shared by the Apache Indians, but also creates a rich environment for the ranchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plentiful wildlife.

Lavaca River Ranch Central Texas v Jackson County v Edna

T

The 5,276-acre Lavaca River Ranch in Jackson County, bordering Victoria County, fronts the Lavaca River for approximately three miles. Currently, the main agricultural production for this ranch is rice and cattle grazing due to the greater amount of rainfall this region receives annually compared to other areas in Texas. The property has not historically been used as a game ranch, though it has all the makings for a phenomenal operation. If the ranch was high fenced and the fields were converted to protein crops, a rancher could grow and breed superior native and exotic game without managing costly and time consuming bulk feeders.

Some of the irrigated fields should be left in wet crops to keep the natural bird population.

This area of Texas has some of the best turkey, goose, duck, dove and quail hunting the state has to offer. The central location of this ranch makes for easy drive time. The ranch is 99 miles to the courthouse in downtown Houston, 63 miles to Sugar Land, which is just outside of Houston, 35 miles to Port Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, one and a half hours to Corpus Christi, two hours from the San Antonio airport and two and a half hours from the Austin airport. There are five wells on the property utilized for crop irrigation. The property sits on top of the Gulf Coast Aquifer, which is known to have the highest annual yield of any aquifer in Texas. $18,467,750.

ranch with so many huge whitetail deer. It is not unusual to see deer in the 180 to 225 B&C range on any given day. The majority of the native deer were removed from this ranch 10 years ago, and multiple genetic strains of freakishly large bucks were brought to the property to go out and multiply. It is often hard to focus on the deer because of the turkey problem.

Hundreds of Rio Grande turkeys call this ranch home, as well. There are turkeys everywhere!

The ranch also offers excellent dove and quail hunting. Two-thirds of this sportsmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise sit atop the Brady Mountains, which are actually the end of the Edwards Plateau.

Here you will find a combination of oak species, including live oak and shin oak, as well as other varieties of hardwood trees. This ranch has outstanding cover, which is why the deer appear so stress free. The property has a large hunting lodge, large barn, shop and two bunkhouses. $4,000,000.

year-round. However, it is the heavy, darkhorned whitetail deer that reside in this part

of Maverick County that mesmerize even the most seasoned deer hunter. Low fenced on three sides with large neighbors throughout, wildlife on this ranch is free roaming, and sheer distance creates the boundaries. The ranch has been carefully managed to ensure proper harvesting. Quail and dove hunting can also be enjoyed, with good numbers of both bobs and blues. Hunting for waterfowl is possible with the presence of the lakes. This ranch offers many sporting opportunities. Having been held in the same family since the late-1800s, this is an opportunity to make a historic purchase. There is no ranch in south Texas with a more rich and colored history than the Chittim Ranch, spanning from the cattle drive era up to today’s Boone and Crockett deer aficionados. Largely unchanged since the beginning, this ranch has history that is yet to be written. It bears reiteration that this is big buck country by even the most stringent standards. The well-designed road system allows passage to all areas of the ranch and access to State Highway 277, which fronts the ranch for approximately one mile on the south. Electricity is available.

T

This ranch is 180 miles west of Ft. Worth, 102 miles north of Abilene and 119 miles east of Lubbock in the heart of big ranching country where real cowboys roam. The terrain is very diverse with level, rolling and high scenic vistas. Elevations range from 1,440 to 1,750 feet, overlooking vast expanses of mesquite, cedar and other varieties of trees and scrub brush. Big canyons such as Big Getaway, Little Getaway, Smelter and Panther provide excellent drainage areas for future lake sites encompassing 2 to 100+ acres. The ranch has been primarily used to run cattle for many years during which time the whitetail deer population has grown to noticeable numbers with large antlered bucks being spotted with helicopters and seen by ranch hands. Good populations of hogs, quail, seasonal ducks and geese are additional bonuses enjoyed by wildlife enthusiasts. Over six miles of the South Wichita River traverse the northwest quadrant of the ranch. There are 18 stock ponds on the property with eight pastures. A tremendous water advantage is the buried Cottle King Water Supply water line that runs 17 miles through the ranch, supplying fresh water to steel water troughs and the headquarters. The headquarters consists of two older homes, an equipment barn/shop, steel cattle pens with scales and a roping arena. There are 800± acres in cultivation primarily used for wheat grazing. The ranch also fronts and crosses U.S. Highway 82. The internal ranch roads are in good condition and access the ranch adequately. Reduced from $850 to $750 per acre.

The 6J/Moore Ranch Southeast Texas v Walker County v Huntsville

You now have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase a piece of ranching and paint horse history in Huntsville, Texas. The 6J/Moore Ranch paint horse operation is one of the largest breeders of performance paint horses in the world. This ranch is a paint horse dream in Huntsville, Texas and is the source of the most prolific paint horse genetics for roping, working, reining and cutting in the nation. A number of paint horses and this beautiful ranch are now available for your viewing and purchase. This ranch offers pastures, woods, lakes, views, wildlife and all necessary ranching facilities. The 6J/Moore Ranch paint horse operation is located on 480 acres, seven miles west of Huntsville and about one hour north of Houston, with one mile of paved road frontage on Bowden Road. Hidden deep in the rolling green pastures, the historic centerpiece of this ranching operation is the three-story Moore home. This beautiful home, with 8,700 square feet of living area, was built in the Colonial Revival style and was constructed in 1913 by Col. A. T. McKinney. The home was moved by current owners Floyd and Maryann Moore in 1984 from downtown Huntsville to the most beautiful hill on the ranch, overlooking a 10-acre lake. This majestic three-story home with its wide galleries and tall columns was used by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt when she visited Huntsville in 1937. This home has been the setting of many social events and grand parties. After the home was moved, the Moores extensively restored it to reflect its history, which earned them the Huntsville Board of Realtor’s Community Revitalization Award in 1987. This beautiful working ranch and majestic historical home are must-sees for any buyer desiring peace and elegance, as well as a sense of history and grandeur.

1,000-Acre Ranch in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex Texas Metroplex v Cooke County v Gainesville

L

Located in the Golden Rectangle of the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex and within 60 miles of the DFW International Airport is one of the most spectacular ranches of its size left in this region of north central Texas. Offering 1,000 acres with a great balance of pristine, improved coastal pastures, hardwood timber and deep sandy loam, there are scenic elevations with incredible views, three large fishing lakes (where you’ll always want to have a camera handy), over 10 stock ponds and several live creeks fed by year-round natural springs. Wildlife also thrives and includes an abundance of turkey, deer and duck. Sitting in a private, picturesque setting of mature trees and lush landscaping is the property’s main home, featuring a large living area with rock fireplace and three bedrooms. In other areas of the ranch are the foreman’s home with an office and three guest homes that are currently rented. There are also several outbuildings for livestock, hay and equipment. Sitting in the crosshairs of the Metroplex as it continues its northward march towards the Red River, the possibilities of this ranch are almost endless. Having been an income-producing hay and cattle operation for decades, its close proximity to Dallas, combined with a diverse geography, natural beauty, road frontage on three sides and easy access from major highways, makes it just as appealing as a corporate retreat, where guests could horseback ride, four-wheel, fish, hunt or hike; as a high-fenced exotic game ranch when the Hill Country is just too far to drive; or to divide into mid-sized acreage tracts for re-sale. Regardless of how big or little your plans may be, this ranch is certainly worth your time to look. It is about 30 minutes north of Denton, east of I-35, south of FM 902 and west of Highway 377.
