SPOTLIGHT ON
The North Ranch
10,687± Acres in La Pryor, Texas
PRESENTED BY HOOD REAL ESTATE INC.
Located 5 miles north of La Pryor and 15 miles south of Uvalde in Zavala County, the North Ranch encompasses 10,687± acres and includes almost 6 miles of the Nueces River. The high-fenced ranch, which resulted from the consolidation of six properties, fronts FM 1436.
It is home to exceptional white-tailed deer and some of the best bird hunting—Bobwhite quail, dove and Rio Grande turkeys—in the state. Oryx, axis deer, feral hogs and a host of non-game species reside here.
Mature trees line the river, while guajillo, black brush, white brush, mesquite, guayacan and other protein-rich brush species inhabit the uplands. Approximately 7 miles of five-wire cedar post fences have been installed as cross fences.
The North Ranch possesses water rights from the Nueces, which is pocked with deep, blue, drought-resistant swimming and fishing holes. In addition, the North Ranch has approximately 1.5 miles of surface water, measuring about onequarter mile wide.
More than 7.5 miles of 2-inch poly water line and an additional 7.5 miles of 4-inch poly water line have been laid and buried. The water distribution system also includes eight (8-feet in diameter) cement water troughs and two (20-feet in diameter) cement water troughs; all with cement skirts.
Four irrigation wells (one=120 gal./min.; one=300 gal./min.; two=110 gal./min.) are used, in part, to supply a 40-acre Reinke pivot and a 36-acre Reinke pivot. Domestic wells include two solar wells, six electric submersible wells and one well (60 gal./min.) connected to a 60,000-gallon storage tank that supplies the headquarters.
The front one-third of the 11,600± square-foot Barndominium is well-appointed living space, while the remaining two-thirds provides storage.
The two-bedroom/two-bath Farm House encompasses 1,600± square feet of updated living space. The 2,500± square-foot Dog Trot has four bedrooms and four baths and serves as a guest house. The two-story Chef House features two bedrooms, one full bath and onehalf bath.
The six-bedroom/six-bath Cowboy Cabins lodge measures about 1,000 square feet. The River House, now used as storage, could be easily upgraded.
Infrastructure includes: a 700± square-foot laundry, a 500± square-foot secure gun room, a shooting range with a two-story, covered shooting deck and a five-station skeet range with an elevated shooting pavilion, cattle working pens and two (2,000 square feet and 4,000 square feet) equipment barns.
All furnishings and deer blinds, corn and protein feeders convey with the sale.
