RC Ranch represents a well-blocked 22,657+/- total acre Wyoming operating cattle ranch. It lies within a contiguous block of 17,223+/- acres of deeded land, with 3,834+/- acres of BLM lease and 1,600+/- acres of State of Wyoming lease. Over 20 miles of Rock Creek meander through the heart of the ranch. From the headquarters, it is an easy 10-minute drive to Rock River on the well-maintained Fetterman Road, which runs east and west through the ranch. This county-maintained road serves as an easy way to commute through the ranch and is the arterial access to its network of roads and pastures. Regardless of unpredictable moisture, the road allows for all types of vehicular traffic.
Anchoring the ranch are 1,930+/- acres under flood irrigation, which provides an excellent feed base for a year-round cattle operation or makes exceptional grass hay to sell to complement a summer grazing program. Historically, the ranch has been operated as either a year-round, cow/calf pair operation or as a summer grazing unit for tenant cattle. Most summers allow for 1,200-1,300 pairs or 2,000-2,200 yearling stockers to graze for a five-month period and hay to sell. On an annual basis, the ranch has supported over 850+/- pairs, year-round.
With 20+/- miles of riparian area along Rock Creek, over 15 reservoirs and ponds, and a diversity of open high plains prairie, the ranch is well-populated with both deer and antelope. Wildlife coexists well with the cattle operation, both having ample room and habitat for healthy populations.

WATER
Water is a defining feature of Comanche Winds Ranch, with abundant surface and groundwater resources supporting the property’s wildlife, recreation, and long-term development potential.
The ranch contains 11 ponds and lakes distributed throughout the property, along with multiple seasonal creeks that provide additional water sources and valuable wildlife habitat. These waterways also create several promising locations for the development of duck marshes and enhanced waterfowl habitat.
The property is situated over the Trinity Aquifer, where area wells commonly reach depths of approximately 200 feet and can provide substantial water production.
There are currently five water wells located throughout the ranch. Two wells serve the main residence, while another two are located on the north side of the property near the main entrance. A solar-powered well near the center of the ranch is reported to be approximately 260 feet deep and producing more than 10 gallons per minute.
Adding to the ranch’s long-term water and development potential, a 16-inch water line operated by Walnut Creek Special Utility District runs along FM 920. Access to this infrastructure could provide an additional water source for future improvements or development, subject to availability, capacity, and applicable utility requirements.

AREA HISTORY
The Bridgeport area lies within a region that was historically part of the Comanche homeland, known as Comanchería. For generations, Comanche bands traveled throughout North Texas, following the region’s rivers, grasslands, and abundant game. This history gives the ranch its name as a tribute to the land’s Comanche heritage. The name recognizes the people who lived, hunted, and traveled across this landscape long before the ranch was established, connecting the ranch today with the deep history of the Bridgeport area.

$35,000,000 • 1,864.91 acres
Mount Pleasant spans 1,865+/- acres of history, agriculture, and hospitality in the rolling hills of Jefferson's Piedmont. Land of this scale and quality rarely comes to market in central Virginia, much less within 25 minutes of Charlottesville. The fully restored, namesake manor house dates to 1810 and sits high on the banks of the Hardware River, which runs for more than two and a half miles through the farm. Around it, 1,000+/- acres of pasture, row crops, and open ground unfold beneath sweeping Blue Ridge views, while another 800+/- acres of mature hardwoods and pine gradually rise behind it to the west. Completing the landscape is a highly coveted and entirely private 22+/- acre lake.
Surrounding the house is a set of improvements that is unusually complete without overwhelming the property: a tasting room and a separate private event building sit apart from the residential core, while a modern center aisle stable, cattle facilities, equipment buildings, and guest and tenant houses are thoughtfully interspersed throughout the farm and connected by a paved road network. Mount Pleasant operates today as a working agricultural property with an established events and hospitality business, affording a new owner an uncommon range of ownership options, whether that's stepping into a proven farm winery and event business, expanding the agricultural operations, transitioning the farm to recreation and private use, or any combination thereof.
Mount Pleasant is not under conservation easement, which is increasingly rare for a property of this size in Albemarle County, and it carries extensive by-right division rights. Some of the most storied grounds in central Virginia surround the farm, including Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, James Monroe's Highland, and the Southern Albemarle Rural Historic District. The farm is itself part of the Monticello Wine Trail, counting Trump Winery, Dave Matthews' Blenheim Vineyards, and Jefferson Vineyards among its near neighbors.
Each of Mount Pleasant's parts is remarkable on its own, and together the sum is even greater. Highly scenic, private, improved, and unencumbered land on this scale is growing scarcer in Virginia every year.

Few properties in Texas can rival the waterfowl resources, coastal beauty, and sporting opportunities found at Oak Meadows Duck Camp. Spanning approximately 1,700 acres along Turtle Bay and Matagorda Bay near Palacios, Oak Meadows sits within one of the most celebrated waterfowl wintering areas on the Gulf Coast. The ranch’s 10 managed wetland impoundments, encompassing approximately 447 acres, have been thoughtfully developed and maintained to attract and hold exceptional numbers of ducks and geese throughout the season. A picturesque beachfront lodge overlooks the bay, offering commanding views of the water and spectacular coastal sunsets. With more than a mile of bay frontage, outstanding fishing, excellent dove hunting, and a healthy population of bobwhite quail, Oak Meadows represents a truly rare opportunity to own one of the finest sporting properties on the Texas coast.
LOCATION
Property is located just south of Hwy 35, 6 miles west of Palacios, Texas. Access is at the end of Barber Road on the west side, and includes almost ¾ of a mile of frontage on Jensen Point Road.
TOPOGRAPHY, RANGELAND & HABITAT
Oak Meadows Duck Camp encompasses approximately 1,000 acres of upland coastal prairie, where the property’s managed wetland system is located. This portion of the ranch is predominantly level terrain and includes approximately 450 acres of freshwater wetlands, with the balance consisting of native coastal prairie grasses, scattered brush, and habitat ideally suited for a variety of wildlife species. The remainder of the ranch is comprised of an extensive saltwater and brackish marsh system connected to Matagorda Bay through large culverts that facilitate natural tidal exchange and water movement. The predominately clay and silt loam soils exhibit excellent water-holding capacity, supporting both the ranch’s highly productive wetland habitat and its agricultural and grazing potential.
WILDLIFE
Oak Meadows Duck Camp is widely recognized as one of the premier waterfowl properties on the Texas Coast. The combination of hundreds of acres of managed freshwater wetlands situated directly adjacent to Matagorda Bay creates an exceptionally attractive environment for migratory ducks and geese. Each fall, vast numbers of waterfowl funnel into the area, taking advantage of the abundant food resources, dependable water, and strategic location along the Central Flyway. The surrounding agricultural landscape further enhances the ranch’s wildlife appeal, supporting outstanding dove hunting and a healthy population of bobwhite quail.
The fishing opportunities at Oak Meadows are equally impressive. An extensive network of protected backwater bays and tidal marshes within the ranch provides outstanding habitat for redfish, speckled trout, and flounder. Water movement through a series of large culverts connecting the marsh system to Matagorda Bay creates natural feeding zones where fish congregate during tidal exchanges, offering exceptional angling opportunities. In addition, the ranch enjoys direct access to Matagorda Bay, one of the most productive and storied fishing destinations on the Texas Gulf Coast. The result is a rare sporting property that combines world-class waterfowl hunting with outstanding saltwater fishing in a single ownership opportunity.
AGRICULTURE
Currently, the property is leased for cattle.
IMPROVEMENTS
Positioned along the shoreline of Matagorda Bay, the ranch headquarters is centered around a classic coastal lodge elevated on pilings and designed to capture sweeping views of both the bay and the ranch’s renowned wetland system. Having withstood more than three decades of coastal weather, including multiple hurricanes, the home stands as a testament to both its construction and location.
The residence offers three bedrooms and three bathrooms, anchored by a spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area that serves as the gathering place for family and guests after a day in the field or on the water. Expansive picture windows frame breathtaking views across Matagorda Bay and the managed wetlands, creating a constant connection to the surrounding landscape and wildlife. Additional accommodations are provided through a loft sleeping area and a ground-level bedroom, allowing the home to comfortably host larger hunting and fishing groups. An outdoor elevator further enhances convenience, simplifying the movement of gear, supplies, and provisions.
Near the entrance of the ranch, a large Quonset-style equipment barn provides ample storage for tractors, implements, hunting equipment, and ranch infrastructure. A well-maintained internal road system provides excellent access throughout the property, allowing efficient travel to the wetland units, marshes, bay frontage, and recreational areas. The ranch is also well fenced, reflecting the thoughtful stewardship and management that have made Oak Meadows one of the premier sporting properties on the Texas coast.
WATER
A dependable and well-designed water infrastructure system is one of the key components that has helped establish Oak Meadows as one of the premier waterfowl properties on the Texas Coast. The ranch’s managed wetland units are supplied by a high-capacity irrigation well that provides ample freshwater to maintain optimal water levels throughout the year. Powered by three-phase electricity, the system allows for efficient and reliable management of the wetlands, ensuring ideal habitat conditions for migrating waterfowl.
A second domestic water well serves the lodge and surrounding improvements, providing water for residential use and landscape irrigation around the headquarters.
The ranch is underlain by the highly productive Gulf Coast Aquifer, which provides an abundant source of high-quality groundwater. This reliable water resource enhances both the operational efficiency of the ranch and the long-term sustainability of its managed wetland habitat, a critical component of the property’s exceptional hunting and wildlife resources.

Commissary Point is one of the finest recreational properties on the Gulf Coast, offering year-round enjoyment of the outdoors. This is a duck hunters dream first and foremost, but also offers phenomenal fishing on Lake Calcasieu for speckled trout, redfish, and flounder. No boat is required to crab and cast to redfish just outside the back door, or fish lights for speckled trout off the pier. 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 wrap-around porch provides fantastic sunrise views over the marsh, and sunsets across the lake. Plenty of concrete parking is below the elevated home.
Additional improvements include a three-slip boat shed and ramp for marsh boats, and a pier into Lake Calcasieu. The shoreline is protected by a bulkhead and generous riprap.
MINERALS
Surface only is included in the asking price. There are no active leases or production, and no pipelines impacting the property have been identified.
