Located in South Texas' famed Golden Triangle, the North Ranch encompasses 10,687± acres of top-notch wildlife habitat and includes almost 6 miles of the Nueces River. The turnkey property, situated 5 miles north of La Pryor and 15 miles south of Uvalde in Zavala County, is one of the finest hunting ranches available today. Over the past seven years, the current owner acquired six properties and formed the North Ranch. The ranch, which fronts on FM 1436, has been designed to be best in class. The North Ranch is home to exceptional white-tailed deer and some of the best bird hunting—Bobwhite quail, dove and Rio Grande turkeys—in the state. Since 2017, deer have been managed under an MLDP-3, but the hunting has been limited. In the past three years, mature whitetails measuring 160" — 190" have been harvested. In addition, the ranch boasts oryx, axis deer, feral hogs and a host of non-game species. The Land and the Water Towering pecans, Mexican sycamore and oaks stand sentry along the river, while guajillo, black brush, white brush, mesquite, guayacan and other protein-rich brush species inhabit the uplands. The land has been strategically cleared and roller chopped to increase edge and plant diversity. Native grasses have been replanted where suitable. The Nueces is pocked with deep, blue holes that hold water for swimming and fishing even in drought. The North Ranch possesses water rights from the Nueces. In addition to the river, the North Ranch has approximately 1.5 miles of surface water, measuring about one-quarter 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 are encircled by 8-foot cement skirts. There are four irrigation wells (one = 120 gal./min.; one = 300 gal./min.; two = 110 gal./min.) The irrigation wells are used, in part, to supply a 40-acre Reinke pivot and a 36-acre Reinke pivot. The ranch has two domestic solar wells, six domestic electric submersible wells and another domestic well (60 gal./min.) connected to a 60,000-gallon storage tank that supplies the headquarters. The Living Thanks to the attention to detail, living is comfortable and easy. The style, as befitting a Brush Country ranch, is rustically elegant and resplendent with adobe, stone, hammered metal and wood. Strategically placed courtyards and gathering areas ensure that family and guests can soak up the textured beauty of South Texas. The two-bedroom/two-bath Farm House encompasses 1,600± square feet of updated, beautifully appointed living space. The open floor plan residence features a kitchen with an eating area and living room. With four bedrooms and four baths, the 2,500± square-foot Dog Trot, situated across the courtyard from the Farm House, serves as a guest house. The two-story Chef House features two bedrooms, one full bath and one-half bath. Set away from the main compound, the six bedroom/six bath Cowboy Cabins measure about 1,000 square feet. The River House sits near the Nueces. Currently used as storage, it could be upgraded to living quarters. The ranch's focal point is the 11,600± square foot Barndominium. The front one-third is living space, while the remaining two-thirds provides storage. The living space includes a commercial kitchen with an attached utility area, a dining area, living room and bathroom. In addition, the Barndominium has four bedrooms each with a private bath. In addition, there is a 700± square-foot laundry and a 500± square-foot secure gun room. The Infrastructure The North Ranch has a shooting range with a two-story, covered shooting deck and a five-station skeet range with an elevated shooting pavilion. The North Ranch's perimeter is high-fenced and there is also a 3,000± acre high-fenced "enclosure". Approximately 7 miles of five-wire cedar post fences have been installed as cross fences. The ranch has a functional set of cattle pens and two (2,000 square feet and 4,000 square feet) equipment barns. The ranch roads provide easy access to the entire ranch. All furnishings and the 29± Atascosa deer blinds, 31± Atascosa 500-pound corn feeders and 32± 2,000-lb. protein feeders convey with the sale.

Location The ranch sits on FM 1025 about 10± miles north of Crystal City, the Zavala County seat. Carrizo Springs lies roughly 22± miles south, Uvalde approximately 30± miles north, and Eagle Pass about 50± miles west. San Antonio is approximately 95± miles northeast, providing access to San Antonio International Airport. The location places the ranch in the Golden Triangle, the South Texas brush country region recognized for trophy whitetail production. Land & Grazing The terrain across the 5,634± acres is relatively flat, with soils ranging from Bookout and Montell clays to sandy clay loam. The clay component provides water retention beneficial for stock tanks and ponds. Vegetation supports more than 20 documented woody species, including mesquite, blackbrush, guajillo, guayacan, granjeno, twisted acacia, brazil, persimmon, little leaf sumac, cenizo, condalia, and prickly pear, with native grasses and forbs throughout. The brush has been managed through selective clearing, food plots, and brush sculpting in strips and mosaic patterns to expand edge habitat for wildlife and grazing. Internal infrastructure includes extensive cross-fencing for rotational grazing, two sets of livestock working pens (the primary set centered in the ranch), nine food plots (three high-fenced and two irrigable), and a network of wide roads, senderos, and clearings. Current livestock stocking is light at approximately 100 head against a carrying capacity of around 560 animal units, an intentional choice to support the wildlife operation. Water Water infrastructure includes two irrigation wells producing a combined 750± GPM with a portable diesel generator, one domestic well, six to seven stock tanks, and 17 operational water troughs distributed across the property. Approximately 14± miles of underground water lines traverse the ranch, and four of the stock tanks can be filled by pipeline. An additional eight troughs are present but not currently operational. Four of the stock tanks also support fishing. Wildlife & Hunting The whitetail herd has been actively managed for nearly twenty years and is currently enrolled in the Texas Parks & Wildlife Managed Land Deer Program. Genetics were enhanced over a four-year period through TTT (trap, transport, transplant) introductions from Chaparrosa Ranch, an independently recognized program for South Texas whitetail. Two on-property DMP facilities supported selective breeding over a four-to-five-year window to advance the herd’s genetic profile. The management approach combines TTT introductions, DMP breeding, selective annual harvest, and maintained age structure and doe-per-buck ratios with the native protein-rich brush of South Texas to support trophy production. Supplemental nutrition runs through 27 protein feeders and six whole cottonseed stations across the ranch. In addition to whitetail, the property holds populations of bobwhite quail, scaled quail, mourning dove, feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats, and a range of native and migrant nongame species. Hunting improvements convey, including 19 deer blinds (15 of which are 4’x6′ and four are 4’x5′), 27 fenced protein feeders, 19 corn feeders, a 12-ton overhead feed bin, and a 1,000-yard shooting range. The seller will also convey equipment including a feed wagon and a top-drive pickup, with additional items to be determined. Residence The main home is an approximately 2,400± sq/ft manufactured home with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, sitting under shade mesquite trees with a full-length front porch and a fenced yard. Guest Quarters & Support Buildings Adjacent to the main home, two manufactured mobile homes have been converted into guest or hunter quarters, joined by a covered common area between them. A workshop of approximately 1,800± sq/ft includes an attached five-bay vehicle barn and an adjacent game cleaning area with walk-in cooler. A 50′ x 60′ covered pole barn sits near one of the irrigation wells. A second 10-acre fenced compound on the property is the site of a former Enron processing station and includes two metal buildings. The larger of the two is 5,000± sq/ft with ceilings of 24± feet, offering room for conversion to lodging, barns, or other uses. A 4,000± ft runway is also in place; the runway would require rework to be returned to active use. Remarks This property fits a buyer looking to acquire an established South Texas trophy whitetail operation with the genetic, infrastructure, and habitat work already in place. The Golden Triangle location, MLDP enrollment, and Chaparrosa-sourced genetics give the ranch a measurable head start for serious management, while the cross-fencing, working pens, and 14± mile water distribution network make the property workable as a continuing cattle operation alongside the wildlife program. The ranch is also located within a federal Opportunity Zone (created 2017), a designation that may carry tax considerations for qualifying investors. Prospective buyers should consult their accountant or tax attorney to assess applicability. Surface only; no minerals convey with the sale.
