Bandera County - Bandera, TX
Major Price Improvement! Was $16,000 per acre, now $13,950 per acre. 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.

Located between Utopia and Tarpley, one of the most desirable and unspoiled areas of the Texas Hill Country, this awesome new listing is one of the most scenic and turnkey ranches available in the area. The ranch is just minutes south of FM 470 in the heart of the beautiful Seco Creek Valley, just minutes from Utopia, 30 minutes to Bandera and an hour to San Antonio and Kerrville. Other nearby attractions are Lost Maples Park, Garner State Park and the ever popular Frio River.
The ranch offers all new game proof fencing, soft release pens, electric gate access, a 3 bedroom home with concrete drive, 2 car garage, wood rail fenced yard, large patio, garden area, manicured lawn, large healthy Oaks and extensive landscaping around the home. The ranch offers a second home that is 4 bedrooms and serves a lodge for hunters and guests. Both homes have recently remodeled with new paint, new flooring throughout, new appliances, new central A/C units, new hot water heaters and other upgrades.

An insulated drive through 40'x50' metal shop with full length workbench, roll up doors and serves as equipment storage area.
30'x 75' covered equipment barn with 3 bays for parking and storing ranch equipment and rail container.
The shop and equipment barn have been equipped with a rain collection system that feeds water to a new Pioneer 30,000 gallon metal storage tank.
A newly drilled Trinity well with 1200 gallon concrete storage tank provides water to the home, pens, pond and several water stations.
An electrical power line runs completely through the ranch from north to south. Phone and high speed internet service is in place at both homes.
The ranch consists of two long parallel valleys with over a dozen feeder canyons, offers the near perfect mix of level to sloping bottom land, spring fed canyons, deep fertile bottoms with adequate soils for cultivating hay or food plots, steep majestic hardwood lined hills, limestone bluffs with sheer outcroppings and wide open valleys covered in huge Live Oaks. The deep canyons are home to Spanish Oak, Blue Oak, Cedar Elms, Wild Cherry, Madrone, Sumac, Persimmon and Sycamore. Huge stands of Sycamore line the once live creeks indicating there is still ample subsurface water in each valley for the potential for pond and lake development.
The current owner has developed the ranch to be a Whitetail Deer hunting destination with genetically improved and intensively managed deer herd producing trophy deer. Forty bred whitetail does and two breeder bucks were released on the ranch in 2023, with young trophy bucks already scoring in the 170 range. There are multiple bulk feed stations throughout the ranch and 6 strategically placed hunting blinds and spin cast feeders set up to accommodate hunters.
One of the highlights of the ranch is the exceptional interior road system the owners have created over many years that provides easy access to virtually every part of the ranch. Most of the ranch is easily accessible by 2 WD vehicle and a single tour of the 16+ miles of road system is like a safari, offering a buyer breathtaking views of the Ranch, the Seco Valley, Cascade Valley and hundreds of square miles of the surrounding Hill Country. Words and pictures do not come close. Few ranches offer an interior road system that compares to this ranch. Additionally, the owners have selectively cleared large amounts of Cedar from the property, providing excellent habitat for the large numbers of Whitetail, Turkey, Hogs, Aoudad and many species of Birds and Varmits. The extensive Cedar clearing on the property has made it one of the cleanest ranches available.
This is a rare opportunity for a buyer to purchase an exceptional Hill Country ranch that has all the features that make this area so special.
