As a result, North Ranch is home to exceptional white-tailed deer and some of the best bird huntingBobwhite quail, dove and Rio Grande turkeysin the state. While the deer have been managed under an MLDP-3 since 2017, the hunting has been limited to the owner's family, friends and invited business associates. Mature whitetails measuring 160" 190" have been harvested over the past three years. In addition, the ranch boasts oryx, axis deer and feral hogs as well as a host of non-game species.
The Land and the Water
The deep, rich blackland found in the river bottom transitions into strong red clay which gives way to sandy loam. 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 provide food and shelter for wildlife in the uplands.
As part of the brush management plan, the land has been strategically cleared to increase edge preferred by wildlife and strategically roller chopped to increase the diversity of grasses and forbs that are essential to upland birds. Native grasses have been replanted on suitable sites.
The Nueces runs clear and turquoise-hued through the ranch. The river is pocked with deep, blue holes that hold water and allow for swimming and fishing even in the dry years. 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 that measures about one-quarter mile wide. The surface water catchment is a collection of various creeks and ponds that is fed by runoff and irrigation water.
To ensure that water is easily accessible in all quadrants of the ranch, 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 cement water troughs that are 8-feet in diameter encircled by 8-foot cement skirts and two cement water troughs, 20-feet in diameter with 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 pivots water food plots that have traditionally been planted in sunflowers to enhance dove hunting.
To meet domestic water needs, the ranch has two solar wells, six electric submersible wells and another well (60 gal./min.) connected to a 60,000-gallon storage tank that supplies the headquarters compound.
The Living
Thanks to the attention to detail, living is comfortable and easy. The style, as befitting a Brush Country ranch, is rustically elegant.
Working in a style reminiscent of Mexico and the Southwest, artisans combined adobe, stone, hammered metal and wood to create spaces that are inviting, warm and reflective of the region's history, culture and lifestyle. Strategically placed courtyards and gathering areas ensure that family and guests can spend their days and nights soaking up the peace, quiet and textured beauty of South Texas.
The two-bedroom/two-bath Farm House encompasses 1,600 square feet of updated, beautifully appointed living space. Currently used as the owners' home, 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. As the name implies, its architectural design reflects the dog trot cabins favored by early Texas pioneers.
The two-story Chef House, which currently serves as lodging for visiting chefs, features two bedrooms, one full bath and one half bath.
Set away from the main compound, the Cowboy Cabins measure about 1,000 square feet. The lodge, built in a u-shape around a central courtyard, features six bedrooms each with a private bath.
The River House sits near the Nueces. It's currently used as a place to store fishing rods, inner tubes and other gear for water fun, but it could be updated and upgraded to living quarters.
Arguably, the ranch's focal point is the 11,600 square foot Barndominium. The front one-third has been finished as functionally beautiful living space, while the remaining two-thirds is used as storage for hunting vehicles and other equipment.
The living space includes a top-of-the-line 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. The bedrooms are accessed by a split staircase that is easily reached from the barndo's storage area. This practical configuration allows hunters to wash off the evidence of the day's excursion without passing through the rest of the living space.
In addition to the residences, the North Ranch has a 700 square foot high-capacity laundry and a 500 square foot secure, self-contained gun room.
The Infrastructure
To ensure that both rifle shooters and shotgunners are in top form, the North Ranch has a shooting range and a skeet range. The shooting range, which has a two-story, covered shooting deck, extends 700 yards, with targets at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 700 yards. The skeet range features five stations and an elevated shooting pavilion.
The North Ranch's perimeter is high-fenced and there is also a 3,000 acre high-fenced "enclosure" within the ranch that holds the oryx herd and some axis. In recent years, approximately 7 miles of five-wire cedar post fences have been installed as cross fences.
While the ranch hasn't been grazed in the past three years, it is outfitted to handle cattle with a functional set of working pens. The ranch roads provide easy access to the entire ranch.
In addition to the storage space within the barndominium, there are two equipment barns. One is 2,000 square feet and the other is 4,000 square feet
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.
The Opportunity
For anyone looking for the ultimate recreation destination, the North Ranch has it all. Abundant water. Exceptional habitat. Plentiful wildlife. Well-designed lodging. New infrastructure. And each piece is already in place, so you can begin to enjoy one of the premier hunting and recreation ranches in the country immediately.
Seize this rare opportunity before it disappears as quickly as a wily muy grande into the brush. . .
Existing hunting and grazing leases create an income-producing opportunity for a new owner, if desired.

In addition to the residences, the North Ranch has a 700 square foot high-capacity laundry and a 500 square foot secure, self-contained gun room.
The Infrastructure
To ensure that both rifle shooters and shotgunners are in top form, the North Ranch has a shooting range and a skeet range. The shooting range, which has a two-story, covered shooting deck, extends 700 yards, with targets at 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 700 yards. The skeet range features five stations and an elevated shooting pavilion.
The North Ranch's perimeter is high-fenced and there is also a 3,000 acre high-fenced "enclosure" within the ranch that holds the oryx herd and some axis. In recent years, approximately 7 miles of five-wire cedar post fences have been installed as cross fences.
While the ranch hasn't been grazed in the past three years, it is outfitted to handle cattle with a functional set of working pens. The ranch roads provide easy access to the entire ranch.
In addition to the storage space within the barndominium, there are two equipment barns. One is 2,000 square feet and the other is 4,000 square feet
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.

And each piece is already in place, so you can begin to enjoy one of the premier hunting and recreation ranches in the country immediately.

Sitting on the headwaters of Myrtle Creek in a ruggedly beautiful box canyon in Bandera County BW Ranch offers live water and some of the most magnificent views in the country. The 1899.83-acre ranch, which fronts FM 2828, is just 12 miles from Bandera, 17 miles from Kerrville (and its airport with two runways up to 6,000 feet), and 42 miles to San Antonio.
Land, Wildlife and Water
In Texas, it is rare for a ranch to include an expansive stunning viewshed as a primary asset. The BW Ranch showcases 24 peaks, expansive valleys and views that stretch to Bandera, Kerrville and Medina.
The ever-changing landscape is enhanced by diverse vegetation. Cypress trees surround the main lake. Pecan trees shade the valley. Live oaks and Spanish oaks dot the native grasslands. A lone bull mesquite shades the pavilion. Cedar has been aggressively cleared and prescribed burns have been used to clear and reinvigorate the land. As a result, desirable native Hill Country browse provides a nutritious buffet for wildlife.
Whitetails that benefit from enhanced genetics, Rio Grande turkeys, dove and bobwhite quail are native to the ranch. A herd of bison, numbering upwards of 50, graze the flats and hillsides. Auodad sheep along with blackbuck antelope, axis, fallow and sika deer also call the ranch home. Other wild denizens include coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions and a host of other non-game species and songbirds.
Two Longhorns also roam the ranch. Ones horns measured 13.5 feet the last time a tape was put to them. Those numbers place him in world-record territory.
Year-round Myrtle Creek brings life-giving crystalline water to the property. It feeds nine dammed ponds, making water for wildlife easily accessible throughout the ranch.
An 8-acre spring-fed lake, stocked with largemouth bass enhanced by Florida bass genetics, blue cats, blue gills and sun perch is arguably the recreational focal point. Anglers have landed some bass that tipped the scales at more than 14 pounds. A boat house, with a bathroom, a fish cleaning station and a pontoon boat, ensures that family and friends can make the most of the clear, inviting water.
The ranch boasts second spring-fed lake, which is smaller. It, too, is stocked with desirable fish for additional angling fun.
Living
The three-bedroom/two-bath ranch house reflects its setting. Native limestone defines the exterior and interior flourishes including the impressive fireplace. Built with an eye to simple, comfortable elegance, the bright airy home combines soaring ceilings, shiplap, warm wood accents, Saltillo tiles and oversized windows. In the sunroom, which overlooks a pond surrounded by a bounty of native vegetation, the line between outside and inside is seemingly invisible.
In addition, the homes open floor plan includes a well-appointed kitchen, living room and trophy room. It's aesthetic and design invite gathering.
Building sites, with exceptional views, abound. The possibilities for creating a livable masterpiece built to the new owner's taste and specifications are limitless.
A nearby open-air pavilion, reminiscent of old-time Hill Country dance halls, takes the party outside. The pavilion, which follows the architectural theme of the main house, includes a full kitchen and large fireplace.
The comfortable three-bedroom/two-bathroom caretaker's quarters with a full kitchen and large porches, front and back, is situated nearby. Currently, it is used for employee housing, but could host overflow guests.
Infrastructure
More than 25 miles of improved roads stretch to the highest peaks and most far flung corners providing complete, easy access.
The main barn (approximately 40 x 60), which is constructed from metal and insulated, features four horse stalls, an office with a shower, a tack room and a tool room. Twelve-foot-tall doors on both ends keep equipment access simple.
An equipment barn (approximately 20 x 45) with a game cleaning station that includes winches, running water and a walk-in cooler rounds out the infrastructure.
The Opportunity
The Hill Country is known for its live water and breathtaking scenery, but its rare to find a ranch that has both with plenty of elbow room. The fact that BW Ranch is also conveniently located to small towns and San Antonio makes it one of one.
To experience the natural beauty of the BW Ranch for yourself, call Howard W. Hood with Hood Real Estate Inc. at (830) 739-3815. The ranch was listed for $16,000 per acre. Now just $13,950/acre.
