The Valhalla Ranch is one of the most unique and remarkable properties we’ve had the pleasure of representing. Located in the heart of duck country south of El Campo, the ranch offers exceptional waterfowl hunting along with outstanding white-tailed deer managed under a high-fenced, improved herd program. It also features excellent dove hunting and an impressive population of wild quail. Adding to its appeal is one of the finest trophy bass lakes we’ve encountered, complete with a beautiful new home overlooking the water. With both sides of the Tres Palacios River, hundreds of century oaks and stately cypress trees, the setting is as scenic as it is productive. The property also includes an active grain farming operation that enhances the abundant food sources for wildlife. This is a true turn-key sporting ranch—ready to be enjoyed from day one. LOCATION The ranch is located just several miles east of Danevang, Texas with 1.7 miles of frontage on County Road 422. The ranch is less than an hour and a half from Houston. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT This diverse property lies within the Texas Gulf Coastal Prairie and features a remarkable mix of habitat types, including riparian bottomlands, sandy loam grasslands, productive farmland, and scattered oak pastures. The ranch boasts approximately 1.6 miles of the Tres Palacios River, with both sides controlled. The river corridor is lined with mature live oaks, along with elm, hackberry, and other native hardwoods, forming dense riparian woodlands that provide excellent bedding cover and abundant forage for white-tailed deer and other wildlife. These heavily timbered bottomlands comprise roughly 350 acres. An additional ±600 acres consists of oak and cypress woodlands interspersed with native grasslands and brush, offering exceptional habitat diversity and a strong forage base for wildlife species throughout the year. The balance of the ranch is composed of productive farmland and natural wetland areas, contributing significantly to the property’s overall wildlife value and agricultural potential. WILDLIFE White-tailed deer are the premier game species on Valhalla Ranch. The ranch was high-fenced in 2001, and in 2017 the native herd was fully removed and replaced with superior genetics. Today, the ranch maintains an approximate density of one deer per 10 acres and consistently produces multiple trophy bucks exceeding 200 inches. The herd is intensively managed through year-round protein feeding, multiple food plots, and dedicated native forage management. Ten strategically placed and well-maintained blinds overlook food plots, water sources, and key travel corridors. Waterfowl hunting on the ranch is exceptional. Situated in one of Texas’ most renowned migratory flyways, the property includes several enhanced wetland habitats that offer outstanding duck shooting opportunities. With abundant water resources available, there is significant potential to expand wetland acreage if desired. During winter, hunters also enjoy frequent flights of migrating geese and sandhill cranes. Dove hunting is equally impressive. Surrounded by agricultural country and supported by the ranch’s own milo and corn production, the property consistently attracts strong numbers of mourning and white-winged doves. The ranch also supports a thriving population of bobwhite quail. Extensive stands of prostrate bundleflower—specifically developed for Texas—combined with abundant edge habitat along farmland and native grasslands, create ideal conditions for sustaining and growing the quail population. The 17-acre bass lake is the crown jewel of the property. Intensely managed for years to produce premium trophy Florida-strain bass, the lake produces huge bass. The lake has 13 protein feeders for the forage fish (bluegill) and has several water wells to maintain the water levels. It also has multiple fishing docks along the banks and a 1,500 SF floating boat dock with a peaceful lounging area to enjoy being on the water along with a 18′ bass boat. AGRICULTURE Currently, several row crop fields are leased for farming grains. In addition to providing income to the property, it enhances the wildlife feeds available and greatly improves the duck, dove, and quail populations. IMPROVEMENTS The primary residence was completed in 2025 and encompasses approximately 4,600± square feet. This modern and thoughtfully designed home is positioned on the trophy bass lake near the heart of the property. The residence features four bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, including two upstairs suites offering exceptional views of the lake and surrounding ranchland.

A spacious game and media room at the rear of the home provides an ideal gathering space after a day afield, complete with a pool table and large-screen television. Additional conveniences include a well-designed mudroom and ample storage throughout. Built to exacting standards, the home incorporates heavy-duty plywood behind the walls to support the display of large game trophies and was engineered to withstand high winds.

Just a short drive from the main home is a substantial equipment barn measuring approximately 160’ x 50’, capable of housing the ranch’s tractors, implements, skid steer, and other large equipment. Adjacent to the equipment barn is an 80′ × 40′ storage barn with a concrete floor, designed for smaller rolling stock, UTVs/ATVs, tool storage, and a small living area. WATER The ranch is exceptionally well watered, as expected in a property of this caliber. A large irrigation well serves as the primary water source, supplying multiple ponds and wetland units across the ranch. Uncommon for the region, the water delivery system is fully piped underground. This well is powered by a diesel engine and also maintains consistent water levels in the trophy bass lake. In addition, four electric water wells serve the property, providing water to the residence and ranch facilities. Several of these wells are capable of supplementing the lake and supporting irrigation needs around the main home. The ranch also holds riparian rights on the Tres Palacios River, offering the ability to draw water for expanded wetland development or habitat enhancement if desired. ELECTRICITY On-site in multiple areas. MINERALS This sale is a surface estate sale only. There is no production on the ranch. OTHER Approximately 308 additional acres adjacent to the ranch are high-fenced and currently leased by the owner of Valhalla Ranch, providing expanded acreage and additional river frontage.

The Comanche Camp Ranch represents a true central Texas rarity. Beautifully framed by over 1.5 miles of the pecan tree-lined Navasota River, the property is rich with wildlife, grazing opportunity, and awe-inspiring vistas around every bend.

Water on the property is plentiful, with over 1.5 miles of frontage on the live waters of the Navasota River, a beautifully constructed 1-acre pond on the uplands of the property, and several seasonal ponds and drainages distributed across the 230 acres. Several opportunities exist to create wetland waterfowl units to attract the wintering waterfowl using the Navasota River as a flyway.

MINERALS Surface estate only. AREA HISTORY The Doyle area lies within one of Limestone County’s most historically significant landscapes, shaped by early frontier settlement along the Navasota River corridor. In the 1830s, the region marked the edge of Anglo settlement in Texas and was closely tied to Fort Parker, a fortified homestead whose 1836 raid became a defining moment of the Texas frontier era. Following statehood, the area transitioned into a productive agricultural country, with rolling blackland prairies and creek bottoms supporting cattle grazing and cotton farming. Nearby Groesbeck emerged as the county seat and regional hub, while small rural communities like Doyle developed quietly around family farms and churches, preserving the area’s working-land character and strong sense of place that endures today.

Red Barn Ranch represents the rare opportunity to own a substantial, well-developed ranch in the rolling piney woods of northeast Texas with prime Lake Bob Sandlin frontage, immediate livability with multiple homes, proven wildlife and improved waterfowl habitat. It has rolling East Texas topography, strong groundwater resources, and significant upside for further future development – all at just under two hours from the Dallas metroplex. LOCATION Red Barn Ranch is east of Winnsboro, Texas, and just under a two-hour drive from Dallas, or 1 hour from Tyler. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT These rolling hills give way to a beautiful mix of mature pine and hardwood timber, classic Post Oak Savannah terrain, topographic range, scattered pastures, and sandy-loam soils. There are multiple improved and scattered wildlife and wetland areas, creating excellent habitat for whitetail deer, waterfowl, and native East Texas wildlife. Good FM road frontage and gentle terrain throughout much of the upland areas present outstanding potential for additional lakeside homesites, and other opportunities if desired. The road system is winding, comfortable, and extensive, with a significant gravel base in some main sections, and the areas along the road corridors have been cleared and sculpted for the best wildlife viewing and exciting UTV property tours. WILDLIFE Roughly 150-200 acres of floodplain and creek drainages have been strategically enhanced on the Red Barn Ranch with shallow water impoundments, levees, and water control systems to create excellent duck habitat in the heart of the Central Flyway. The area around Red Barn Ranch, hugging the southwestern shore of Lake Bob Sandlin, sits right in the heart of a main migratory route that funnels millions of ducks and geese south each winter from the prairies of Canada to the Gulf Coast. Here, the piney woods meet sprawling reservoirs, creating a haven for ducks like mallards, gadwalls, and widgeon, alongside divers such as ring-necked ducks, lesser scaup, and the occasional canvasback splashing down on bigger water. It’s not the volume of coastal marshes, but what it lacks in sheer numbers, it makes up for in solitude and scenery: fewer crowds, timber-lined sloughs, and that crisp, woody air that makes every cupped wingbeat feel earned. White-tailed deer hunting is also a prime component of the Red Barn Ranch. Multiple enclosed and top-end deer blinds are strategically placed throughout the ranch, with 6 food plot locations, and complete with feeders in place. The range, soils, food plots, and waterfowl impoundments were all put in place by the current owner with guidance from Michael Embrey, wildlife biologist and consultant. In addition to the substantial Lake Bob Sandlin frontage and dock access, there are more than 8 other good-sized, stocked lakes, tanks, and ponds on various hillsides and at serene locations throughout the property that provide good bass fishing and other duck hunting opportunities. There are several newer fishing docks on them as well. IMPROVEMENTS Multiple homes are already in place: a very comfortable main lodge overlooking Bob Sandlin to the east with 4 bedrooms/4 baths and over 1,600 sf of living area; two guest houses separate from each other on the south end of the ranch in serene settings, and two caretaker residences up north on the FM road. This offers immediate turn-key living or hospitality options — everything you need to start living the legacy today, whether that means a family compound, a corporate retreat, a high-end hunting club, or a thoughtfully planned lakeside development. WATER The ranch is generously serviced by multiple water wells tapping into the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer, which underlies much of the region, providing abundant groundwater for existing and future water wells. The three creek systems (Indian, Brushy, and Attway) wind through and across this ranch, with live water running. And there are over 8 good-sized lakes and ponds on various hillsides and at serene locations throughout the property that have good bass fishing and duck hunting opportunities. MINERALS Any owned minerals will convey with an acceptable contract. AREA HISTORY Winnsboro is one of the state’s most authentic small towns, and it has embraced its heritage while fostering tourism and historical preservation. The town features restored buildings, a cultural arts district, and events like gun shows, car cruises, art markets, and various celebrations. With a population of around 3,500, Winnsboro remains a hub for nearby cities, offering a relaxed atmosphere amid lakes, forests, and seasonal attractions like spring dogwoods, summer boating, and winter Christmas tree farms.

The ranch is 1,239 pristine acres that make the springs and both live water creeks run as clear as you have seen. There are no old buildings, no trash, no junk. The location of Cotton Willow Ranch is genuinely rare for Texas. The rainfall here is still substantial enough to run live water creeks and support multiple springs along with bluebonnets and indian paint brushes that blanket the ranch in the spring time. The ground is forgiving rather than rocky, allowing you to comfortably drive and walk across nearly the entire property. A more northerly position in the state creates a true four-season experience: milder summer heat than many Texas regions and winter conditions that can even bring snowfall (frequently for Texas standards). The history of thoughtful cattle management on the property has promoted preservation of the native habitat, which has allowed wildlife to flourish and the ranch to maintain populations of Bobwhite quail, and wild turkey as well as ample white-tailed deer, hogs, and other native wildlife for the area. Premium metal deer stands and feeders are thoughtfully positioned throughout the property in locations worthy of a magazine spread.

Dallas: 95 miles, 1.5 hours Austin: 125 miles, 1.25 hours Houston: 200 miles, 3.25 hours San Antonio: 195 miles, 3.5 hours TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT Cotton Willow Ranch experiences over 100’ of elevation change from the properties high ridges where one can see for miles over the Bosque hill country, to the creek bottoms where century old hardwoods look over the clear running waters of Willow and Cottonwood Creeks. In between these ridges and bottoms are hundreds of acres of productive native prairie dotted with oaks and juniper and featuring diverse assemblages of native grasses and forbs. Trademark species like Little Bluestem that tell the story of proper rangeland management provide cover for threatened species like the Bobwhite quail while continuing to maintain soil health into the future. In the springtime this property becomes a Texas postcard; dozens of native flowering species including Bluebonnets, Indian Blankets, and Winecups cover the property in a colorful mosaic. The property’s internal pasture system has allowed cattle to be effectively rotated across a majority of the ranch to prevent overgrazing and foster conservation of the prairie. With minimal revamping, the systems and infrastructure in place will allow a new manager to continue the intentional management of this unique piece of Texas. WILDLIFE Thanks to a history of proper management, The Cotton Willow Ranch is also home to an extensive list of charismatic native species including self-sustaining populations of Bobwhite Quail, Texas Horned Lizards, Rio Grande Turkeys, and White-tailed deer. Migratory birds including doves and waterfowl frequent the ranch. Mourning doves are seen regularly and are in large numbers during their migration times. Waterfowl use the ponds on the ranch throughout the winter being close to the Brazos river flyway. IMPROVEMENTS Cotton Willow Ranch affords a rare opportunity to build custom improvements on a premium piece of land in Central Texas.

Current improvements include perimeter and interior fencing, a set of high volume working pens. 4 premium metal 5×8 deer stands, and 12 deer, turkey, and quail feeders spread throughout the property. WATER This unforgettable ranch is named for the two limestone-lined creeks, Willow Creek and Cottonwood Creek that bisect the property and converge near the southern boundary. Crystal clear waters pour over waterfalls and meander around bends for a total of ~2.2 miles creating countless picturesque scenes. Walks along the banks of these creeks often reveal fossils and arrowheads to the keen observer. Feeding into these creeks are an assemblage of springs, several of which could be potentially targeted to develop larger bodies of water on the property. In addition, 8 ponds are strategically dispersed, providing reliable water sources for both livestock and wildlife in each section of the property. ELECTRICITY Power is located on the property. MINERALS Negotiable. AREA HISTORY Bosque County holds deep historical roots, first inhabited by Native American tribes like the Tonkawa and Comanche, who traveled its river valleys and open plains. In the mid-1800s, European settlers arrived, drawn by the fertile land along the Bosque and Brazos Rivers. The area soon became known for its farming, ranching, and limestone architecture. Today, Bosque County blends natural beauty with a rich cultural legacy, offering a timeless rural landscape steeped in Texas history.

For the first time in generations, the historic Randado Ranch is being offered for sale—a true South Texas legacy property under the same family’s stewardship for 95 years. It is among the finest combination cattle, deer, and quail ranches we’ve had the privilege to list for sale. A significant feature of the ranch is its extraordinary water resources, which are distributed throughout the property. The property has a long, rich history of intensive deer and game management dating back to 1965, when Al Brothers became ranch manager and pioneered many of the quality deer management techniques that remain the foundation of modern practices today. One could argue that modern deer management was born on this ranch during Al Brothers’ three-decade tenure as its ranch manager. He is widely regarded as one of the true fathers of white-tailed deer management. In 1966, the property was high-fenced—one of the very first ranches in South Texas to do so—and that innovation became a defining trend across the region. The Randado Ranch continues to maintain a strong native deer herd that has consistently produced trophy whitetails for decades. The sandy soils of the western sand sheet provide outstanding browse and first-class quail habitat, supporting abundant quail populations. Cattle operations benefit from well-designed infrastructure, while the ranch’s location and water resources create phenomenal dove hunting opportunities as well. The owners’ long-standing care and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of this remarkable property. The family’s deep conservation ethic is further reflected in their long-standing support of wildlife research, including numerous studies conducted in partnership with Dr. Charlie DeYoung through Texas A&M University–Kingsville (formerly Texas A&I). LOCATION The ranch is located along Highway 16, approximately 26 miles south of Hebbronville, Texas, and about a three-hour drive from San Antonio. It is easily accessible via the Jim Hogg County Airport in Hebbronville or the ranch’s own 4,500-foot private airstrip (not currently in use). TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT Over 80% of the Randado Ranch is comprised of Brennan, Copita, and Delmita sands, which are characteristic of the South Texas Sand Sheet. These deep, sandy soils occur primarily in the bottomland areas with very little topographic relief, creating ideal habitat for both cattle and wildlife. A distinctive escarpment rises along the northern section of the property, offering a noticeable change in elevation and providing impressive long-range vistas—a rare feature in this part of Jim Hogg County. Three creek bottoms traverse the property and carry water during periods of substantial rainfall. Los Tanques Creek Bottom, the most significant of the three, runs through the center of the ranch and serves as a defining natural feature. The other two drainages provide similar ecological value and further enhance the ranch’s habitat diversity. The ranch contains a well-established caliche quarry that produces quality material used for building and maintaining the extensive system of ranch roads. This resource is a long-term operational benefit. Divided into 12 well-managed pastures, the ranch supports an efficient rotational grazing system for the cattle operation. The range supports a healthy variety of native grasses. The main introduced grass is buffel. Nominal, if any, tangle head grass is believed to be present on the property. This balance creates ideal conditions for both livestock productivity and native wildlife diversity. The habitat on the ranch is a diverse mix of unmolested native brush and areas of old regrowth from earlier brush work designed to enhance quail hunting opportunities. The resulting mosaic provides ideal conditions to support the ranch’s balance of game and livestock operations. Dominant brush species include prickly pear, guayacán, granjeno, kidneywood, coma, Texas ebony, mesquite, and guajillo, among many others typical of the South Texas brush country. Across the property, a total of 19 high-fenced fields and 18 low-fenced fields have been strategically established, with 23 of these fields (83 acres) used to plant winter oats annually each fall. WILDLIFE White-tailed Deer High-fenced since 1966, the all native whitetail herd has been managed for decades, consistently producing exceptional trophy-class bucks. A comprehensive supplemental feeding program was introduced in 2009, initially featuring protein pellets and later incorporating cottonseed, to promote herd health and maximize antler development. The result is one of the most balanced and genetically desireable native whitetail deer populations in South Texas. The herd consistently yields a high fawn crop and maintains an ideal age class structure, with a healthy number of bucks in each age class. White-tailed deer hunting is limited to family and friends and is accomplished through the use of thirty-seven hunting blinds located throughout the ranch. Quail Northern Bobwhite and Blue Scaled Quail: One of the first things noticed when entering the property is the exceptional grassy cover throughout the property. The careful management of the grasses along with the extensive water development produces a high number of quail. The current owners have not maintained all of the habitat created for hunting quail; however, it would take minimal effort to reclaim and create a significant amount of habitat for hunting quail via multi-dog strings and quail rigs. As it is, there are plenty of locations to drop a dog or two and walk/buggy hunt. Mourning & White-wing Dove The property offers outstanding Mourning & White-winged Dove hunting in part due to its abundant food and 60 earthen tanks distributed across the ranch. Mark Matthews assisted in flying the early October aerial game survey and noted seeing more mourning and white-winged doves in the helicopter survey than ever seen in his 44 years of flying game surveys. IMPROVEMENTS The majority of improvements are situated within the headquarters compound near the center of the property. The main house consists of a spacious living area, a well-appointed kitchen, and gun room with large safe. The two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath main house is surrounded by four casitas, providing ample lodging for family and guests. Together, the main house and casitas offer six bedrooms and six-and-a-half baths. The main house was remodeled in 2024, blending modern comfort with traditional ranch style. Additional headquarters improvements include a manager’s house, storage modules, a deer processing area with a walk-in cooler, barn, and multiple covered equipment sheds. A reverse osmosis (RO) water treatment system with 1,000 gallons of storage is housed in its own dedicated shed, ensuring high-quality water throughout the compound. There is also on-site fuel storage, including 500 and 2,000-gallon diesel tanks and a 1,000-gallon unleaded gasoline tank, providing ample fuel reserves for vehicles and equipment. For livestock and operational efficiency, the ranch features three sets of cattle pens strategically located across the north, central, and southern portions of the property, as well as a horse arena. For target practice, there is a 100-yard shooting range plus a dedicated 1,000-yard long-range. The rectangular-shaped ranch is easily accessible via an extensive, well-maintained road system, regularly graded with a motor grader/maintainer. Pasture travel is seamless thanks to cattle guards connecting nearly all pastures—no gates need to be opened, even when livestock are present. WATER The property has 17 electric water wells, 60 earthen tanks, and 13 water troughs/pilas. Thirty-one of the earthen tanks and all water troughs can be filled from one or more water wells through miles of extensive piping. There are multiple water sources in every pasture, limiting the distance wildlife and cattle must travel for water. Even in drought years, the ranch has the ability to put water in all pastures. The water wells were located throughout the ranch back when management engaged in planting lablab fields (food plots) with underground drip irrigation in its 19 high fenced fields. The property also has 3 operating windmills for water. ELECTRICITY Randado Ranch is well-serviced with an electrical infrastructure that provides power access throughout the property. Electricity is supplied by Medina Electric Cooperative and Reliant Energy, ensuring service across all operational areas of the ranch. There are currently 17 active electric meters distributed to support the headquarters compound, water wells, equipment areas, and remote improvements. In addition, there are 6 locations where electrical service has been previously disconnected, which could be reestablished if desired. MINERALS Minerals are not available for offer on this ranch. A portion of Randado Ranch, totaling approximately 1,280 acres, is Mineral Classified. The owners are not conveying royalties on state-owned minerals. Existing mineral production is primarily concentrated within a few designated pastures, much of it occurring on the Mineral Classified portion of the ranch. Currently, there are 11 active gas well sites.
