THE PIES OF TEXAS ARE UPON YOU!

EAT MO’ PIE! bless, bud the pieman

Pat Sharpe, Food Editor for Texas Monthly, lists the café’s original buttermilk pie as one of her top 40 picks of Texas mail order gifts! She says, “Royers has the best, flakiest crusts of any mail order pies I’ve ever eaten, bar none. Homemade classic, they’re tender and beautiful, like the pies cooling on the windowsill of the seven dwarfs’ house in Walt Disney’s Snow White. Cafe’s pecan pie is luscious!”

AAA’s Texas Journey Magazine “Bud, a.k.a. the Pieman, is famous for his namesake thick, chewy chocolate chip pie, but the pecan pie deserves a blue ribbon, too.”

Washington Post Wine Column, Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg “.....And a new tradition you’ll want to start is pairing port with pies, which can create just as much magic. We craved pumpkin pie so intensely that we mail-ordered the only version we’ve ever loved: the pie from Royers Round Top Café… We also ordered the cafe’s legendary pecan pie and cafe’s founder Bud Royer’s namesake Bud’s Chocolate Chip Pie. Port’s diversity is such that we were able to find the perfect partner for each pie.”

TEXAS

Spectacular Private Live Water Hunting Preserve Covering Two Counties in the Texas Hill Country

T

he 4 Aces Ranch is a beautifully managed, fully operational wildlife preserve on 17,847± 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. Seven miles of Live Oak Creek are fully self-contained on the ranch, running north to south through the middle of 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.

The main residence at the ranch head-quarters is a beautiful fivebedroom, 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.

4 Aces is a recreational paradise on the western boundary of prime Texas Hill Country. 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 completely high-fenced with close to 50 miles of state-of-the-art game fence.

The ranch is a beautifully parked, rugged sanctuary, and the owner, along with a wildlife biologist, has created a highly efficient wildlife game park with high-quality habitat and wellmanaged native and exotic wildlife populations, including axis, scimitar-horned oryx, red sheep and red stag, eland, zebras, black buck, Catalina goats, aoudad, gemsbok, fallow deer, Corsican sheep and turkey. A multitude of outbuilding and support structures facilitate the full function of the property, including a massive hay barn, several large covered shops to house equipment and complete metal fabrications. 15 spring-fed water wells provide natural observation points and 14-ton bulk protein feeders are appropriately placed throughout the property, with hunting blinds and strategically placed game towers.

Roughly one mile from ranch headquarters, a three-bedroom hunting cabin is comfortably situated in a shady, live oak grove. The big, gracious back patio is set with an inviting fire pit and rocking chairs, and the retreat provides a welcome midday respite or trophy camp for special guests.

Do not miss this incredible game ranch opportunity with an amazing price of only $3,250 per acre.

Have you ever wanted to own a private resort for entertaining your friends and family? Here is your opportunity! The current owner started with 574 acres of the most incredible Hill Country land available. Surrounded by large, tightly held family ranches, his privacy and unobstructed views were secured. Then pasture and habitat improvements, as well as a wildlife management program, were implemented. This included the introduction of 70 genetically superior whitetail deer from South Texas. Bucks in excess of 200" B&C were observed on the ranch last season, but not taken. The headquarters compound includes a main lodge, guesthouse, private owner’s home and a fourth building, which includes a bowling alley, all very improved with custom interiors, high ceilings and a multitude of amenities.

Absolutely no other Texas ranch can compare with amenities such as a two-lane bowling alley; lighted tennis court; lighted basketball court; putting and chipping green; lighted skeet, rifle and pistol range; workout facility; art studio; swimming pool/hot tub; incomparable buildings and structures; fantastic 40-mile mountain views; outstanding water (sits atop the Hickory Aquifer); rock wall-lined lake; tanks; creeks; an incredible interior road system; all high fencing; and Boone & Crockett quality whitetail deer, axis, blackbuck and much more. This is a turn-key property, and we are pleased to arrange a tour for qualified prospects. Please contact our office. Listed for $10,757,216.
