Birdwatch the waterfowl during the migratory season, numerous shorebirds year-round, and catch the neotropical species on their way back north in the spring. As a bonus, deer, hogs, and alligators are present in huntable numbers, or be a kid again and catch some bullfrogs for frying! The casinos in Lake Charles are a short and easy drive away for additional action. This is a true year-round getaway with a comfortable lodge ready for use, and a rare opportunity to own your own piece of the Sportsmans Paradise that is Southwest Louisiana. LOCATION Located in Cameron Parish near Big Lake, on the east bank of Lake Calcasieu, this ranch is roughly 2.5 hours from Houston, 1.5 hours from Lafayette, and minutes south of Lake Charles. Direct air travel into the Lake Charles Regional Airport is available from both Dallas and Houston. TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT Experienced waterfowlers know that not all waters are created equal when it comes to hunting. First, its location on the western edge of the Mississippi Flyway in an area of hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat provides the birds. Importantly, Commissary Point is set up so that the waters can be managed for depth, creating shallow areas of marsh full of widgeon grass, plus flooded prairie full of grass seed. This is accomplished via a series of canals, water control gates, and levee system in conjunction with land management. Two primary, adjacent impoundments create permanent marsh areas of 275 acres of more brackish marsh adjacent to 420 acres of sweeter, more grassy marsh area. North and adjacent to this area is 570 acres of coastal prairie that is under rotational management and is shallow flooded by relift pumps from the sweet water canals. There is an additional 340 acres that is currently used for grazing that could be added into the mix of waterfowl habitat with the addition of groundwater irrigation, or it could be overseeded with rye or oats, creating a goose field. Per USDA data, the uplands soils of the ranch are approximately 85% loam soils, with approximately 15% silt loams. WILDLIFE Ducks are tops on this list of this ranch, as indicated. Greenheads and pintails love the flooded prairie, while gadwall and widgeon prefer the marsh. Blacks and teal trade back and forth, and of course, any of the above can be found in either setting, along with spoonies and the various divers. Many a speckle belly has been taken from Commissary Point. For saltwater fishing, Lake Calcasieu is a name location for fishermen on both sides of the Sabine River. Fish the shorelines, reefs, or weirs for trout, redfish, and flounder. Or, pack a rod and pick up a redfish after a morning in one of the marsh blinds. Blue crabs are plentiful as well. For the birdwatcher, this is a year-round delight. From the year-round shorebird population to migratory waterfowl to springtime neotropicals returning north to Louisianas own brown pelicans, there are always plenty of species to enjoy, so keep your ID guide and life list handy (along with a good pair of field glasses)! Raptors, various cranes and herons, roseate spoonbills, gallinules, rails, and coots are other common sightings. Aside from the waterfowl, enjoy watching the white-tailed deer, the occasional hog, sunning alligators, and various varmints that make the marsh and prairie home. IMPROVEMENTS Lodging consists of a very comfortable lakefront home, featuring 3 bedrooms, each with its own private full bath, plus two additional half-baths in the living areas.

The Battle of Goliad was a minor skirmish early in the war. However, the subsequent battle of Coleto was an important battle that culminated on March 27, 1836. Col. James Fannin and his Texan soldiers were executed by the Mexican army, under orders from Gen. Antonio López de Santa Anna, in what became known as the Goliad Massacre. This event led to the Texas Revolutionary battle cry “Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!” Although many remember the Alamo today, fewer remember Goliad. The site of the massacre is located near Presidio la Bahia, just south of the town of Goliad. CONSERVATION EASEMENT In 2005, with a desire to conserve the heritage of the ranch, the owners donated a landowner friendly conservation easement to The Nature Conservancy of Texas and have continued to operate the ranch as they always have. The owners have made the decision to sell the “Berclair Ranch” portion of the parent ranch to their future neighbor as they will continue to own and operate on the ranch to the north that is also governed by the same conservation easement. The Berclair Ranch does include a 10 acre building envelope for the construction of a new headquarters should the next steward desire to do so. Please contact Broker for additional information. OTHER The west and east pastures of the Berclair Ranch are separated by paved Power Road that provides not only great access to different pasture gates, it also provides a cattle drive lane frequently used by the ranch. Power Road terminates at the end of the ranch and has limited use overall. The historic Moya family cemetery (aka Mucorrera Cemetery) is located in the east pasture and is used infrequently by Moya family descendants.

Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros has owned and managed this ranch for close to 20 years. His passion for white-tailed deer hunting and his commitment to trophy managing the ranch has produced several trophies over 200″. Of the 1,682 acres, approximately 1,525 acres are under high fence.

The lake, once used for water skiing, offers opportunities for boating, fishing, bird watching, and hunting. There are three water wells on the ranch. MINERALS Minerals are negotiable. AREA HISTORY The first Hill family in Bastrop County was in 1834, having moved from Alabama. Sometime after that Abram Wylie Hill bought half of Jenkins Prairie, a land grant award given to the Edward Jenkins family for their participation in the Texas Revolution. The property was renamed Hill’s Prairie and remains so to this date. Some of the Hills and the Yerger family moved to the Alum Creek area and opened a dry goods store about 1850. When the Taylor Bastrop and Houston Railroad came into what is now Smithville, the dry goods store was moved to Main Street in Smithville and the Yerger (father-in-law) and the Hill family (son-in-law) built a wonderful colonial-style home on a full city block in 1887. The home stayed in the Hill family through the youngest daughter, Ruth Hill Skelley until sold three years ago. The home at 401 Main Street has been completely rebuilt and is now one the the benchmark properties of the area. About 1700 Spanish missionaries exploring the area discovered an oxbow lake that had been formed by the Colorado River in pre-historic times that the Indians of the area called Nenocadda. When the county was surveyed the grant belonged to the Grassmeyer family who built a river ferry very near the small lake. When the Hill family moved to town they bought parcels of property in the Colorado Valley that were contiguous. The land went from the north rim of the valley (known as Rocky Hill) to the southern rim (known as Flower Hill), all on the eastern side of Smithville. The family generally called the area north of the river “Grandfather’s Farm.” Sometime around the arrival of the railroad the Hill family built a dam at the northern end of the oxbow lake adding about four feet to the depth, now called Shipps Lake. An artesian well helped keep the water level more or less constant except in periods of extreme drought. That well could probably be developed again. Another artesian well was used to create a public swimming pool very close to the Highway 71 bridge over the railroad track. The Hill family had concerns about local children swimming in the river because of the turbidity and ever-shifting currents. The pool was leased to the Smithville Lions Club for $1 per year. The Highway 71 expansion required removal of the pool.
